Ford didnt start using J2807 until 2015 at which time the radiator in the F150 increased in frontal area by 20%. But the GCWR of the 2015 F150 stayed the same as my 2014 at 17100 lbs and stayed there until the 2018 F150 got chassis upgrades and an even bigger radiator. So a 2018+ F150 with...

If anything I will downsize my trailer. I have already been on the lookout for smaller trailers as prices are coming down. I've also towed this trailer >1000 miles with my GX460 and its been completely fine. And that included some 9-10000' passes and 65-70mph freeway. I seriously doubt the...

Which is exactly what my Ecoboost does. The thing is a locomotive and will tow up any hill at 80mph(I dont actually tow at 80mph but it could do it) but then the coolant temp spikes. The first time I ever towed my TT with mine I was coming back from Idaho in 95+F temps and was climbing a...

1540 lbs.

I gotta admit, with the topper I have on my F150, and the various mods I've done(intercooler, air bags, rear hellwig sway bar, etc), I probably have no more payload than the Gladiator. I would guess I am over once I have 4 people and two dogs and a trailer hooked up, but I have never actually...

You're not convincing me not to buy one :ROFLMAO:

Nice. I am looking hard at them still. I test drove two JT Diesels this weekend and they were nice. I was mainly worried about the interior space with the kids in car seats but they actually had some decent room, more than the Raptor Supercab I test drove. I've gotten the sign off from the...

IDK exactly. I bet its not that low unless you get the Bison Package with the steel skids and 35's.

It has the $10,000 Desert Boss package that gives you all that bolted on stuff. They start at $46,800. A 2019 ZR2 started at 42,400. All things considered, the new ZR2 seems like a stellar deal.

Yeah, same here. Im just pointing out that an Ecoboost that is going to be under continuous high load all the time will not be efficient. The whole small displacement turbo thing is to minimize pumping losses at low load that you would get in a V8. Same with GM’s AFM/DFM. Once you are no longer...

As a daily driver/commuter car, I dont see a lot of reason they don't work already. I am at 4000 miles in less than 3 months on mine and not had any issues with range or charging. This is in Utah where I have already been driving it in 5-10* temperatures. All of my charging, except for the last...

I have a feeling that the 2.3L under constant high load probably falls out of its efficiency zone. The engine is not built to be efficient at high load, but at low load. I bet with all that stuff hanging on his truck he got similar MPG's as he would driving a 7.3L Superduty. Just like towing a...

Dang, I've been spending some time on the Gladiator forum and groups and the overheating issue is rampant with the EcoD. Worse than my 2014 F150 it seems like. They have been trying a lot of the same things that a lot of the Ecoboost people have done. Supplemental oil coolers, Mishimoto...

I imagine you probably need a trailer to overwhelm the cooling system. My 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD was the same way. It would be fine unloaded and would pull up Parley's Canyon here in UT on 100+F days without downshifting but when you hooked a trailer to it it would basically live with the coolant...

5500 lbs max. The GX460 handles the trailer suprisingly well, but it lacks in the power department due to my elevation of 6500'. The Ecoboost pulls like a locomotive but its just such a behemoth on the trail. What does the EcoD do towing that is bad? I've talked to several Gladiator owners(not...

Any more comments on the EcoDiesel? I've been eyeing these lately because it seems like they are having trouble moving them and are offering some pretty steep discounts. I'm seeing nearly $14000-15000 off MSRP in some cases. Specifically I want a truck that can tow well at high elevation which...

The 3rd Gen Tundra manual shows low payloads too. I dont know exactly what they did, but people who actually weighed their trucks over on the Tundra forum consistently had 200-300 lb of additional payload over what the manual and their door stickers said. I think they just take the heaviest...

Probably not to camp in. With the back seats down I dont know that there would be much more than 5' from the door to the back of the front seats.

Ill tell you what, my wife and I have been super happy with our Bolt. Not saying thats what you should get but just a general statement that having a small runabout for daily driving is very nice. Its so easy to park and so maneuverable. Even if it never financially worked out, which was why we...

Well and the problem with the Toyota system is that the power increase is entirely offset by the added weight. The benefit is only seen off the line before the ICE gets going. Once they are rolling, the non-hybrid throws down similar numbers and I believe has a faster trap speed in the 1/4 mile...
