I agree. Not a fan of bikes outside the vehicle. We built a platform for the bikes in the back of the truck cab. The platform actually bolted in directly from the Crew Cab to Extended Cab.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad that setup works well for you.

This is one dislike I have with the Ford design. It's to save them money. They can manufacture a set of springs and use them on a bunch of trucks. 2WD no block. 4WD block and F350 bigger block. Yes, blocks can give more opportunity for axle wrap. But there is absolutely no advantage for...

We knew the factory water tank was much too small at only 20 Gallons. Soo small… I guess it works for weekend type trips. But we wanted much more... The 2020 Northstar Liberty Camper is similar to most small truck campers including all the Four Wheel Campers with its small tank. Thankfully...

Thetford Cassette toilet has been working well. So... a couple things to note. #1 We don't use toilet paper. We use wet wipes. They go in a trash bag not in the tank. This is the same thing we did on our past RV and at home (septic). This makes much less mess. #2 No poop. At least not...

I must say... I have the same impression and don't agree. Our previous Winnebago View (dually rear) people said the same thing. Or that rocks would jamb between the tires and flatten them. Here's the problem: 1. Many/most dually owners run "factory type tires". This is a bad plan off road -...

Those mount are vastly improved. Well designed. I was impressed with the engineering. We used them to test hauling the Loredo Camper on the 2019 F250. Not great for off road since they are the lowest point and hang out a good distance. Our mounts are now tied to the rock slider and steel...

Look like fun.

Sweet new truck! Hope you enjoy it. We've been really impressed with ours. Just pulled the Steering box for tapping it (hydro assist time). It has an absolutely massive dedicated power steering cooler. Trans cooler is even bigger. Really enjoy digging into it and being pleasantly...

We disliked the dinette in the 2020 Northstar Liberty Camper. It had an awkward layout with the seating area was against the HUGE window so you couldn’t enjoy the view. Plus, a tiny swivel table that might work for one person. It wasn’t function for us. I had taken measurements and planned...

My preference is small. But it's not practical hauling a camper. And the wife and I leave for months at a time... so comfort matters. The Super Duty won't be a "dedicated trail rig" and we've been debating a SxS for ninja off road fun. I just sold my 1998 Tacoma on 37s. It was great for...

I'm running Method 701 17x8.5" wheels with 37x12.5R17 Yoko X-AT tires. Load D - 50 PSI @ 3,500lbs Weight rating is the biggest thing to watch. Obviously make sure your wheels can handle the load too. Ply count and Load Letter are somewhat old terms. Tires today are "ply equivalent" which...

I've been running load D 37x12.5R17 on the Super Duty - rated over 3,500 lbs. Don't have any strange handling issues. Run them at 50psi with the camper. Load range letter and ply count are old terms. Weight rating is more relevant. It seems the load rating has to due with ability to run...

We've been enjoying the Northstar Liberty. World ahead of any popup for comfort.

rruff - it seems like any option will be a significant step up!!! Enjoy the build. :)

The modern Tacoma is not small... It's the same size as the Gen1 Tundra! And you're only talking 5" less than the Super Duty. There are some trails where body clearance may only be a couple inches on each side... but not many roads leading to destinations. Destinations is the purpose of...

You can call or email Jeff @ Deaver. He designs the springs based on your truck with desired load @ specified height. I requested 2" lift over stock height with 3,500lb load with factory blocks removed. Leaf springs by nature are progressive. Expect 8-10 weeks. Could be longer depending on...

I loved the Tundra. It worked well with Ko2 Tires, Deaver Springs, Icon Shocks, Timbren Bump Stops, Sway Bar... But you'll easily exceed the GVWR. The rated curb weight isn't realistic. Just adding fluids and passengers and weight capacity drops fast. We kept under GAWR and it did fine...

Bed height is about 38". So overall is 126" = 10'5"

Camper is 7ft main body. Ours is 7'4" with basement. The interesting thing with flatbed campers is that they sit over the wheel wells. So you basically gain another 9-12" more than a slide in camper. But flatbed campers are becoming cool....
