The viair is probably fine for non HD trucks. I tried to use it on my last truck to air the 33’s from 50psi to 80psi for towing and I got two tires done in an hour. I greatly exceeded the duty cycle.

I doubt it. My 10 speed 2.3 3.73 ranger doesn’t even seem to get better than the 2.7 f150

I tried to find an XL 3.5 truck but they don’t seem to exist.

When OP says better MPG is he trying to have a lower cost of ownership, or a longer range?

That’s what I did on my ‘11 2500, that was for little led lights. I wish I could find a way to mount my huge hella 4000’s on my new ranger. Problem is they’re ~6” deep.

Can you register the side by sides for street use so you don’t have to leave your tow vehicles at the trailhead?

My ranger is over 1500.

I know the newer Chevy trucks have block heaters that have a thermostat built in so they’re not on all the time. Short of using a Kill A Watt I’m not sure how you’d tell if it was working. Also I don’t think you need to have your inactive truck plugged in long term. Maybe a battery tender if...

I do a lot of trailer bearing repacks at work. We always do it the old way. I’ve seen the quick lube style blow grease out the seal and contaminate the brakes. There’s no way to see that without taking it all apart.

They put the 2.8 diesel in the vans.

I typically winterize a camper by hooking my air line, at 40-50psi to the outside city water hookup. Then I go around the camper opening the facets, toilet, shower etc. Then I use the water pump to pump RV antifreeze through the system. Plenty of people skip the antifreeze step. I’m not sure how...

It was something like 177,000 miles. I towed my giant travel trailer to Colorado and back with that. The transmission temps never went over 180f, even when I was driving into a 25 mph headwind and was reving at ~4000rpm to maintain the speed limit FOR SIX HOURS STRAIGHT! I had an o2 sensor go...

My 2500hd truck with the 6.0, 4.10’s, 6spd got12-14mpg. Rated to tow 14k though.

Can you roll it on the brake drums? Or make plywood “wheels” just bigger than your drums?

Your main problem with the current 2wd van is lack of power when off road at slow speeds? I would think going to a proper 4wd with a two speed transfer case would make a world of difference.

Hopefully there’s no problems with the 2.3 ecoboost…

Something like this maybe...

If I could buy an suv the size of my ranger that could tow 7500# and didn’t cost 45k with three rows of seats and 73 cup holders…
