I made my camper with the whole rear an entrance hatch that makes an awning. Nothing really slides out, but I can easily access two 70L plastic crates with cooking stuff, plus a 38Hx28Wx26d area on the other side, which has a zero gravity chair and cushion, a portable table, two portable solar...

That isn't something that anyone is going to just know. Someone may have done the very detailed research and analysis to find this out. And, you really don't care about the amount of electricity (at least I don't), but rather how much energy it takes to produce a gallon of gasoline, and how much...

Yes, a big benefit of Maranda is that they are a few inches wider (80"), so a person can sleep sideways in the berth. https://www.marandacap.com/v-375eng

All of their shells are slide ins, so it's probably the same. Kinda looks like a variation on the T62. https://tufport.com/adventure/ I think a shell that is a little bigger than anything they make, and with a real sleeping berth, would be more popular. The nice thing is the curved lines and...

They both look a lot better than the GM full size trucks! Big tires for the win! All of them... when you put 37s on, I think "yep that looks right now". Mine are only 35s... they are too small.

I don't know, not much info... but gotta be real tight if the rest if the interior is only 65" high.

Isn't that exactly what the ventilator is for? I mean... you can open all the windows and crank up the exhaust fan, and that would surely take care of the moisture problem...? But then you'd have a heat problem. The heat exchanger warms the incoming air so you can be warm and dry at the same...

https://expeditionportal.com/the-tufport-overlander-slide-in-is-lightweight-and-built-with-heritage/ I think this would have had a lot more utility if they'd made it about 75" tall and 80" wide, with a cabover portion at least 54" long. It appears to be a new mold, too. Thoughts?

If that was all you claimed, there'd be crickets...

I forgot to reply to this part... Are you claiming that the typical offroad mods add stiffness for a purpose, or by accident? Don't they look about the same as they do on every other truck? I don't think the bumpers add much if any torsional stiffness... it's just another cross-member. And the...

It sounds like you are creating strawmen. I haven't seen anyone claiming that it's "the end all, be all" in this thread or this forum, or any of the Tundra forums. It's just you expressing your rather extreme opinions... and making stuff up. Dana Corp was sued over the frame rust debacle, and...

Right, it doesn't mean anything. Please do tell. Never heard of that, and it's what I'm driving... assuming that you mean double cab, as that is what Toyota calls it on a Tundra. The bigger one is a crew cab. They both have b-pillars. If somebody mounts a rigid structure to the bed mounts...

From the wiki page on the Tacoma: "The Tacoma was introduced in the US in February 1995 (with a market launch in March 1995) as a replacement for the Toyota Pickup (which was the name used for the Hilux in the North American market). When comparing with the Hilux, the Tacoma receives...

Ah, well... probably at least as safe as hacking it out in the garage when you don't know what you're doing! At least I know who to blame... er, wait... is that a benefit? :unsure: 🤪

If they squeezed the bed length down from 5' to 4' I bet they could make the back seat pretty roomy... Back in the day would could accommodate the whole family, no problem...

Not the worst idea, but your commuting costs are going to still be ~2x what they could be.

I think something like the Bowen beds are a good alternative if you like outside storage. It's nice that they keep the load floor low; about the same as the original bed, and the camper you have slides right in.

I think at that level it's pretty much about the deal you can get, what appeals to you, and what you can work on. Something that you can bond with and take pride in so the work you do to fix it up won't seem wasted. Anyway, that would be my take...

A few years back I sold my '86 Toyota SR5 Xtracab 2wd with 70k actual miles. I hadn't used it since I'd bought the Tundra. A local guy who is retired but does yard work for fun, told me he loved those trucks and asked me if I'd consider selling it. I said "how much?" he said "$1000?" He hadn't...

200ah batteries are common and not so bulky as to be hard to handle, and you can put them in parallel, no worries. Or just get a 400ah. Buying individual cells and a BMS rather than a battery is another option. I looked at power stations, and they are a great consumer item... but if you aren't...
