    F-150 suspension upgrade ideas?

    Timbren in the rear works pretty well, acts like a progressive bump stop.

    2011 F550 Dually 4x4 W/Outback Camper Shell SOLD

    Well, I know this doesn't help, but I'm an old fart, sold my tow rig few years ago, bought a nice little F-150 retirement truck, and still consider trading around for this truck- even with absolutely no need for it!!!

    Advantages of ground tents over camping in your vehicle.

    I’ve camped all over CO and UT - and east coast as well, using a Tent Cot, and loved it!! Sets up fast, rain fly or not, and great ventilation. However, I quit using it as my spine deteriorated- only draw back is entry/exit now.

    Semi urgent truck selection help needed

    Typically 4500/5500 require a commercial insurance policy, though I'm guessing that varies state to state. Conversely a 3500 cab/chassis gets classified as personal use under typical consumer policy- and yes, the GVW is considerably higher on a straight frame 350/3500 cab/chassis though the...

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Good fast or cheap- pick two! I’ve had several 150’s past 15 years, 5.0 and 3.5 EB, and like both. But the biggest gain was the aluminum body and dropping 900#!! I chose the 3.5 Lariat two years ago, 2020 model, end of 13th generation, and love it. Mileage great until towing, then considerable...

    5x10 Cargo Trailer - camper build

    What brand is the trailer? I just picked up a '13 X5 diesel and loving it! Do you have floor plan/interior pics? Any reason not to go with the V front end? Also, why the preference for the shorter tongue- my 5x10 utility trailer has 4' and it handles/backs nicely? Thanks- we desperately want to...

    Need help on choosing a suv!

    I’m a bit of a Land Rover guy, but recently nabbed a ‘13 BMW X5 diesel, and love it! For your criteria, it would be great, and yield 30mpg to boot. Worth a look/see, just be sure to get one with good maintenance history, and a good one can be bought under $20k with decent miles (<75k), no rust...

    Giving Up on Sleeping in My Vehicle

    Always used a hammock and rain fly when on 2 wheels or rock climbing hanging off the side of a mountain. Cheap, quick, easy and sleeps well!! A tent cot is also comfy and quick/easy setup.

    Giving Up on Sleeping in My Vehicle

    Took my wife on a weekend motorcycle trip 25 years ago and gave her an entire saddlebag (mine shared space with spares, tools, etc)- best thing I ever did! We scuba dove until having kids and she was super effecient taking what she needed, not what she wanted. Then a trip to Central America (as...
