I used to solve that by ratchet strapping the axle to the frame and then jacking the truck up. Works great as long as you don’t need the suspension drooped to fix something.
They've been around for a long time. Definitely way easier to use than a bottle jack with stacks of wood underneath it to actually lift high enough but not worth it for me. I'll spend more time and hassle and save $300 doing so.
All good. My experience with that for a trailer coming from a state that didn’t title them to a state with titles was pretty simple. Just required a standard title application with the bill of sale and any supporting documents and then I was issued a new title.
Does the system have an automated stow feature in case of winds? A 25mph wind is not much and in some areas is well within the usual wind spread range during a typical day.
The media only cares about selling clicks on ads, any kind of hype works for them.
I’m not denying that there are cold weather issues with EVs but I am saying it isn’t the big deal made out to be. When an ICE vehicle runs out of gas does anyone blame the vehicle? No, you blame the moron...
Which is also a load of crap, typical of most media coverage. EVs charge in cold weather it’s just painfully slow for the first 10-15 minutes while the energy is used to heat the battery so it can accept a full rate charge. Far from ideal but not what the media made it out to be. I have charged...
In my experience the single wall design of most roof top tents is what limits them from extreme foul weather performance. My good ground tents are all dual wall, one extremely waterproof shell coupled with a ventilated inner tent wall to control both exterior and interior moisture.
You can still custom order a single cab 8’ bed F150 XL/XLT with the heavy duty payload package. That gets you up around 3000lb payload with a bit better daily driver comfort compared to a 3/4 ton truck.
