    Need help deciding, Why a Tacoma over a full size truck?

    Looks like you got it figured out. I traded my 08 Taco Double Cab for a 18 F150 Super Crew because I was having to tow a larger trailer for work. The Taco was great for trips to the ranch, or going fishing, or up into the mountains of Colorado, and it was so much easier to park in down town; but...

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    Just a comment on the 10speed. I just returned from a trip to Breckenridge where I logged a little over 2400 miles pulling a 6-6,500lbs cargo trailer over both Raton Pass and Hoosier Pass and the 10 speed was great. I did a little bit of manual shifting on the climbs because of the traffic or...

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    Learned something new, HDPP is available for the 3.5, but as you said only with the Max Tow package.

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    HD package is only for the 5.0L V8, it's what I was looking for when I settled for a left over 2018. The biggest issue I had when looking for an F150 was trying to find one with a tow package and a 6.5' bed, the dealers around me were ordering the trucks and just adding the $95 hitch which...

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    Compromise is a terrible idea, let her pick what she wants or she's going to be blaming you for however long till she gets the car she wants. Another point is a 1/2 ton is no substitute for a 3/4 ton, if you want a 3/4 ton just get her what she wants, wait two years, and buy the truck you want...

    Tundra vs F150

    My search was a little different, a changing in jobs meant I needed a greater towing capacity than a Tacoma could offer. We ended up buying a left over 2018 F150 XLT/FX4, to me it was more comfortable than the Tundra and it came with more stuff like, usb chargers everywhere and an E-Locker. I...

    CruiserBros, Randy's, and ECGS all stock the Eaton TrueTrac for the 7.5 front, you do have to use a different bearing if you have an ADD diff.

    2nd gen taco All Pro vs. Dakar...

    If we ever meet remind me to tell you about all the times I've had to drag an SUA FJ, Nissan, or YJ because they were hung up on their springs. My favorite story is about the FJ62 stuck in the jeep ruts half way up a climb because his diffs were on the wrong side. A pretty close second was the...

    Detroit Truetrac for 1st gen front diff with ADD. Personal experience wanted.

    Roving1, did you get a Truetrac installed yet? I'm glad I found this thread because I'm wanting to install a Truetrac in the front and a Harrop E-Locker in the rear, but had some concerns about the ADD system. The truck is just a Sunday driver that we take to the beach and my wife drives it to...

    2000 XJ Project

    With a simple hammer you can mount a 31" tire in stock location for the spare. But you get more stability with the spare laying down in the hatch. After wheeling the same XJ for nearly 12 years there are definitely some things I would do differently if I was to start over. If I bought another...

    Would you put a locker in ....

    You've got a 30 and 44, just lock them and relax. No, it won't. If you LSD is installed correctly it will spin freely while in 2 Hi driving down the road with no affect on handling. The same goes for mechanical lockers in the front axle, no effect until you engage the transfer case.
