Thanks for the info. I might take you up on that offer. Have you considered sending the GPS route to the folks at Gravel Travel as well? I've found it to be a very useful tool for exploring Canada.

The PW frame is different from the regular 2500/3500 frame? That's the first time I've heard that.

Even if it is a spacer lift, it seems that lot of thought and development went into that setup in order to accommodate the bigger tires and maintain payload/towing capabilities, though I don't know who wants to tow heavy with 37's or 40's. They're very good products, regardless. Carli and...

Trans Canadian Trail in Ontario? Just wondering, because I spent some time travelling that route and I'll likely go back over the next few years.

That's one thing I've always wondered about White Knuckle's Ram 2500/3500 sliders. Everyone seems to think that their quality is great, but I've heard some people question if they will stay in place (when used as intended) due to how they are bolted to the frame (they're basically connected the...

Why? He already has a lot of time and money put into both his jeeps and the GM Duramax truck. If anything he could afford to sell one of the Jeeps and consolidate his effort into the 2 remaining vehicles: one for rock-crawling; and the other for long distance trips. If he really is trying to...

That's because the Italians are well...Italians. You either like the car they make or screw you. BMW and Porsche and many of the domestic sports cars still have manual options though.

Where was most of that video shot?

Nice rig Basil! How much charging capacity does the solar panel provide?

I've heard similar feedback about Thuren. They're a small shop compared some of the others, but the owner is extremely professional and helpful.

Yeah, but unlike the lawsuit and allegations against VW, nothing of substance has been turned up against the other manufacturers (at least the US ones). And all of them are denying any wrongdoing, which would be a stupid move if, in fact, they were cheating as it would be only a matter of time...

No way of knowing yet whether or not Ford "dumbed" down the payload. Even if it is, I think the Ranger will have a market in North America for the same reason the Tacoma and Colorado/Canyon do. BTW, Expedition Overland put a bed-mounted camper (of sorts) on their Tacoma. With the right...

You stated later on that it was a MPG readout from the truck's computer, which is far from accurate. 30 mpg is not a realistic highway average for the Tundra; there really is no point in arguing that any further. I could probably squeeze out 27 mpg coasting down a hill in my 4runner, but given...

bkg was responding to a guy who claims he can get 30 mpg on his Tundra...bkg is not the troll in that debate.

Ruff, you can't criticize someone else for making anecdotal claims when your own posts are just as anecdotal: The Tundra has lower cost of ownership? How so? It only gets 1-2 mpg less than a Ford ecoboost? According to the EPA, some of the other gasoline pickups get as much as 4-5 mpg...

If you want to sleep in a bed-mounted camper use your Chevy Crew Cab diesel. If you want a more capable suspension, buy from a company that has a reputation for offroad performance and reliability (Carli, Icon, Thuren). A lot of leveling kits make the truck look cool but offer little, if any...

I'm calling BS on this as well. My 5th gen 4runner, which is smaller, lighter and has a more efficient engine (though not by much) has barely broken 22 mpg on the highway, and that only happened on rare occasions. No way your Tundra is getting anywhere close to 30mpg except maybe for a brief...

Toyota's vehicles are tried but true. The problem with that formula is that the new crop of F-150's and GM Colorado/Canyon's are not only providing better efficiency and power delivery than their Toyota counterparts, but they have made vast improvements in quality and reliability over the last...

No, I think most people "get it" when it comes to Toyota, both owners and non-owners alike. I think the distinction is some people "get it" when it comes to Toyota reliability but still can acknowledge faults with the brand and/or acknowledge advances made by other brands. Other people go...

For those it matters to, they don't complain about it. Rather they just don't buy Ford Super Duty's. Leaning on the truck is not an issue; you can lay a soft cloth or towel over the paint to protect it. Plenty of mechanics do that for any number of vehicles which don't require a cab/body...
