Not much to report. Some cool features. Most seem gimmicky, though. That tailgate thing…meh. Nice to see all trims get digital speedo and big screens though. And the 2.7 gets a nice boost in HP and TQ (325/400) Here is the configurator that is now live...

I’m looking to get a shell. Probably a Leer or something of that sort. At times, I carry bikes (over the tailgate) and SUP/Kayaks that stick out the back. I doubt the struts on a standard shell rear window is strong enough to be driven with it open, especially on some of the dirt roads I go...

I’m helping my brother find a new vehicle. Like me, he’s got 3 kids. But younger and two are still in car seats. Requirements: - Daily driver friendly for city driving (ie No full-size rig) - Good MPG - AWD/4WD - Decent ground clearance for exploring forest service roads out West and PNW...

I’ve been driving a new F150 for the past few months. Supercrew, 5.5’ bed. Same as my last one. I really wanted to go 6.5’, but wouldn’t fit easy in the garage and hardly any available on the lot. I’ll make it work, I hope. But I am looking at campers. I initially wanted a FWC. They’re nice...

Anyone know much about this engine? I actually had no idea Ford replaced the old 6.2 until I recently started playing with the Build&Price tool. I’ve heard it’s a destroked 7.3? Why even have this engine as an option? Hopefully it will be as stout as the one it replaced.

Just window shopping. I’d not get a hybrid until someone comes out with a plug in version with 20-30 mile EV range. (Hopefully 2023???) But just curious of those that currently have a hybrid. Any regrets/disappointments? I’d be highly interested in a PHEV and 7.2kw generator. More power for...

I’m loving this compact “truck.” No, no 4lo, frame/body, front or rear lockers, etc. But I love the practicality of the truck bed (despite the 4’ size), overall size (almost a foot shorter than a Tacoma), decent size interior (looks to be on par with the Tacoma except better seating position)...

Wow, Subaru stepping up. Factory skid plates Lower final drive A/T tires Stouter roof rack Slightly higher ground clearance Winner! (....pending price). https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35959944/2022-subaru-outback-wilderness-revealed/

Anyone own both a new gen Ranger and F150? A friend of mine is looking for a new truck. Main usage is daily driving but will also tow a 6x12 enclosed trailer regularly, loaded up to about 3-4K lbs. While an F150 would do it easier, he’s trying to see if a midsize would also work. Main issue is...

When I was casually shopping Gladiators last year, I understood in the Sport trim with 6M, you could NOT get the Dana 44’s. Only 30’s. The only way you could get D44 was to get the auto and tow package. I was glancing at one today. It says 6M and HD D44 axles. Typo? Or is this new for 2021...

I used to own a 2017 Tacoma. Just got this in the mail yesterday. Seems like it’s not a prevalent issue to warrant a recall, but enough reported to have the warranty extended to 12 yrs. Thought they would’ve been past this issue by now.

My father in law is looking at replacing his old Pathfinder. Its been a mixed bag as far as reliability goes. He mainly uses it to tow a 4K lb enclosed trailer (6x12). So nothing heavy but still a midsize platform leaves a lot to be desired especially towing in the mountains. So I was looking...

I need to get a truck. It’ll be used as a family hauler (for camping trips. Wife has a minivan for road trips and daily stuff). Won’t need much in the way of extreme off road. I’d probably get a 2-3” lift and 33-34” tires. I don’t tow much. Things I need: - 4 doors - 4wd - Good reliability -...

Currently, there are 3 options for (open bed) trucks with manual transmissions: - Gladiator - Tacoma - Frontier Wondering if anyone’s heard of others bringing back manual transmissions. I know Ford Bronco supposedly has a manual option, so I’m wondering (hoping) it may be made available for the...

Looking to DIY an antenna mount. I saw a mount for sale, but $30-40 for a piece of steel or aluminum with 2 bends and 2 holes in it?? Seems like I could just make one. I'm thinking of getting a piece of an 1/8" aluminum bar and putting a couple of 90deg bends in it via a vice. Can't be...

Kind of window browsing an Avalanche. I’ve always liked them. But only the 03-05 models with the cat eyes and black cladding. Not too keen on the looks of the ones after that. Obviously, fold down rear seats with the pass through to bed is super cool. Most of the ones I see have the 5.3. How...

There is a ‘14 FX4 with 6.2 locally that is intriguing. Anyone know what the difference is between this and the Superduty 6.2? As far as I’ve been able to find out, different cams. But everything else is the same. I believe. Do they come with a larger gas tank or was it still an option? Not...

A family member is looking at a new GC/WK2. Is there any value in going with a Trailhawk over a Laredo E with QD II? Seems like not much? He doesn’t care about amenities. Just wants a GC with lo range. If the Trailhawk had a locker (like the KL’s) it would be a no brainer. Hardest trails he’ll...

Looking to pick up a double barrel (side x side or over/under) 12ga shot gun. Not anything fancy. But something to mostly just do some target shooting and maybe bird hunting. What’s the equivalent of a Rem 870 in the double barrel segment? I have an 870, it just works. Not fancy at all, but...

Another tire thread. Looking for some new tires in size 285/70/17. I feel like that's a good size for multi-purpose trucks. Commuting, camping, etc. Driving in snow, pavement, dirt. Top candidates are General Grabber ATX and BFG KO2. Pricing is about the same. I've tried KO2's in the past...
