[Buy a Tundra. Drive it for about 30,000 miles, then it dies. Coast to a stop on the side of the road. Pop the hood. Engine is completely missing. Gone. Nothing but a sticker on the radiator that say "You lose. Good day sir." Tow to dealership. Dealer won't warranty it because there's some...

Exactly. Ford won't warranty anything cosmetic. Even when the Mustang plant has a doomaflachy set incorrectly and it scratches the bottom right of the rear window on 10,000 units in 2004. No warranty. Forgot to check your bumpers for holes when you bought a new $80,000 truck? No...

Shape has a ton to do with it as well. A really deep, narrow sump is fine up front. If the Taco sump is similar to this Superquadros, having it at the front is fine. You'd have to be almost upside down to not have oil in this sump. Being that just half a quart puts the sump way under...

Is the pickup at the front of the pan? Aaaargh, I have to crawl under my own truck again, but I think my sump is rear.

Capris. Camplite if any are left. FWC. Also.

EPA. And yes, but I think an American truck converted to RHD is over $100,000 in Oz.

Try another dealer. They don't want to work on it. Sadly, nobody wants to be a dealership tech anymore, so many of us are stuck with morons with a 3rd grade education posing as master techs. It takes a ton of water to wreck an engine. (if engine and air intake are properly designed)...

Had one. Used it rarely, and only for a few feet. That's $3000 I can put towards a new camper or dive gear. If I was going Dodge, I'd want a manual as well. I've never liked their transmissions.

This is so exactly like canada: (language warning)

I'd wack that on a curb and rip up the camper. LOL.

I'd use another brace across the front as well, unless I was using saw horses. Even 5'er toy haulers have aftermarket landing gear braces now.

I see 17 all day long on stockish 5.0, f150's. 19 with older 4.6's. Even my 6.2L F250 Superduty does better than 15mpg. I calculate my vacation fuel allowance at 13mpg to be safe. Real safe. The problem with economy #'s, is they aren't quantifying load properly. # of stops, # of...

If your base camp isn't too off road, a TT blows a slide in away. But yes, you can un-mount a slide in and drive off while still camping in the slide in. You'll need the big foot pads under each jack, and maybe braces between the jacks. Lower the camper as low as it'll go to reduce...

The screechy noise of the portal axles drives the bugs up and over.

All it needs is a Highlift mount added and a mount for a gas can filled with maple syrup. I think that is the military truck. They're re-manufactured.

Made in America and the most reliable wheeled vehicle the military has ever had. http://www.acelatruck.com/ [And it comes stock with a snorkel for all the Poseurs here.]

Someone needs to read the OP again.

At least not until you hit about $100 000. And still, comfort might be an issue.

''without huge investment'' You already paid that when you bought a PW. PW tax is pretty high around here. Nobody was willing to give me a decent deal on that model. So it was cheaper to build one myself. But I started with a Ford since I prefer the Dana60, and I'm in the salt belt. OP...

A flatbed utility trailer would fix all of that.
