The XL's only come with the 6.8 gas (unless you go diesel), so I got that, it's a slightly destroyed 7.3 without a forged crank.

That's what I thought, that's considerably more than my O2 F250.

I'm a big Falken fan, so I got 35x12.50x17 AT4Ws. I wanted 35x11.50 because I like skinnies, but they only come in C load, which won't work.

3,998 lbs :) Not only do they come with Air, Tilt, Cruise and Power windows / locks, but also wireless Apple Car Play/Android Auto and a decent 'infotainment' screen. Yeah, the XL's aren't as spartan as my 2002 Powerstroke XL was. It's fairly decent.

Thanks everyone, decided to pull the trigger and deal with the discomfort of any off-roading, or rather, not as comfortable as my old GX. Base XL, with only options of locking rear diff, and running boards. 35's arrive tomorrow, and now the hunt for a camper begins.

For example, I was lucky to get 35,000 miles (on the front at least) on my Powerstroke, due to the weight of the motor, but I always ran them at 80psi. My question, was if I run them at 40 or 50, based on other people's experience, would I considerably shorten the lifespan of them.

Ah ok, that makes sense, thank you!

I currently own an International 4300, and sold a few years ago, my old 7.3 power stroke. I understand HD vehicles. But I've always run them at max tire pressure. I've never considered not running them at that pressure, hence my question.

Ah very interesting, I didn't realize that there are inflation tables based on different inflation rates.

Interesting, I never thought of doing that. Does it drastically reduce tire life though?

Interesting, I need to climb under there and see how easy it would be to disconnect the front and rear swaybars. I'm sure it's just a few bolts.

Thanks, yeah that's probably what I'm thinking. The plan is to drive the Pan American, so lots of all of the above. I think you're right though, get 35s to start, and go from there. Thanks

Thank you, yeah, I test drove one a few weeks ago and it was stiff. My brother has one and claims that it will break in a little bit and not be as stiff. But you’re right I want load caring capacity, I just didn’t know how much a difference 35s and Bilstein 5100s would make for example.

Thanks, yeah that is what I was thinking.

I've seen Scott Brady review the Tremor and said the ride off-road was pretty harsh. If you don't want to do a full Carli setup and want to keep it king of close to stock suspension wise, with 35s, would it really be that bad? I've been looking to move into a full-size, and the Toyota tundra is...

Yep, I think you’re right.

I've looked at those too, and they seem really innovative and cool, but I wrestle with the idea of leaving it on the truck all the time and resealing the bed each time would get tiresome. If the main goal was off-road with a comfortable place to camp, that would be my #1 choice, but as I'm older...

Yep, at the end of the day, you are totally right now that I think about it, that pretty much sums it up!

Agreed, though the argument I always hear pertains to the off road limitations of a hard sided camper. Though I (coming from someone who's idea off road is a 1985 4Runner on 35s) feel that any vehicle that can carry even a pop up camper is already limited to off-road by the sheer nature of the...

Thank you, yep, that has been considered, and I do intend to ship it several times, with a FWC or other similar pop top, it will fit, but with the Total Composites, I'd have to pull it off, and use a 40' container. I'd also have to account for bringing the jacks with me and stored so that when I...
