    Not sure where to post this...SO! buying a new truck. Thoughts?

    More penile quips? Yeah that's mature. Why so butt hurt? Enjoy your ride. Saying ''I prefer bigger rides for the same cost.'' Is not saying ''your wife is fat'' or anything. 13.5" of GC here. Not that it matters much with armored diff covers.

    Towing with 03 f150 supercrew 5.4

    The 5.4 was in the SD's as well. 9000# is no big deal for it. If the truck's stable and level. Add spring as needed.

    Why are you so butthurt? Jealous? Someone doesn't like what you like. So what? I'll echo it. For me, it's only a fraction of the truck. Can't carry people, can't carry loads, can't tow, can't ford my rivers, costs more. Can't carry a hard side camper. It's a long jeep with a bed and a...

    Ranch Hand Bumper Review on Ford F250

    What would be the point? It's ugly diamond plate. Go Warn or ARB.

    Late Model 5.9L Common Rail Reliability

    Each Ford engine of that era had some very weird freakish issues. Even the mighty 7.3. I used to pity the Ford engineers. That lasted about as long as it takes for blood to drip from my knuckles. I'd go after a 7.3 or v10 from that era. The 4r100 is only $2500 to rebuild.

    Late Model 5.9L Common Rail Reliability

    My only point is that it isn't the fable of reliability many claim it is. Not a bad engine, just don't expect it to be a b or c series.

    Late Model 5.9L Common Rail Reliability

    Yeah, sure, ok. I bow to your years of mechanical knowledge. You can find plenty of examples in just one quick google search. Go to your local diesel shop, and you can find plenty more. And make a few bucks fixing them. Be an ostrich if you want to...

    It's only 4'' wider as well. Slab sided pick ups might not be as pretty as the curvy cabs on little trucks, but way more room. I ''wanted'' to seat five adults as well. F250 is 80" wide. 4runner is 76".

    Not sure where to post this...SO! buying a new truck. Thoughts?

    Ok, I'll play. My truck can tow two Jeeps and some bikes on a flat bed. Can just ditch the truck at the Walmart or campground closest to the trailhead. Get the truck that suits your needs. Even the big Super Duties are available for small truck pricing. A Taco just can't do, or go where...

    Late Model 5.9L Common Rail Reliability

    The first 5 cylinders are perfectly reliable. I have no idea why the sixth one gets nuked so often. Mr. Ed's story isn't rare. But when you've been burned by Gm or Ford, before your Cummins burns up, you don't really want to talk about it much after singing praise about the Cummins mill...

    Hello from Europe! And why is USA so (UNINFORMED/UNDER-EQUIPPED)

    Bed slides are useless, like you said. But dinette slides are priceless. The extra space is a great when the weather is terrible outside. And when the others you're traveling with have their tents collapse, and their Rtt's flood, that floor space is going to look really great for...

    Recovering a truck from a lake.

    They couldn't find the hitch! lolz. If it was more local I'd dive it. He should call his insurance first. They might want the park involved, when it's towed out. Yeah, you get ticketed.

    Since you crossed the ZR2 off your list, I'd go with the Taco. But drive one before you get your heart set on it. They don't fit me. The Frontier needs a makeover. Might be worthwhile to test drive the Ram Rebel. If you can get past the ugly gigantic font on the grill and gate. The...

    VW production plans for a midsize pickup

    They literally quoted the "mullet" meme in their add??? Haha.

    VW production plans for a midsize pickup

    No, that's what I meant. Put one 200#, Parma Ohio girl, in the drivers seat and 2000# in the bed. It doesn't stand a chance. With teh big diesel boom, there was plenty of weak trucks out there because those engines were so heavy. A friend of mine has a 2001 Superduty F350 CCLB, diesel with...

    VW production plans for a midsize pickup

    Ok. Right. Sure. Let's put 2000# in the bed and set up some road cones. I've been in 1 ton trucks that could barely haul that.

    3/4 ton fuel economy?

    I wondered if xl's could still have manual windows. Must be a special order thing.

    2015 F250 Gasser, week points

    There are no more manual Fords TTBOMK. But the 6r100g and 6r140 are about as good as it gets for a trans.

    Hello from Europe! And why is USA so (UNINFORMED/UNDER-EQUIPPED)

    Did you read the thread title? We're you expecting a polite response? The Spinter I delivered from Cleveland to Atlanta was pretty weak. Hopefully the camper versions are based on the bigger drw models, and more robust underneath.

    Yep. I bet your oil cap might still say 5 20.
