Supply and demand. OPEC flooded the market pushing down oil prices in 2018. The US has produced record amounts of oil in 2023 and 2024 but demand is high so prices are high . You could argue overturning the Jones act or building the type of refineries we need to actually use the oil we produce...

Boxes don't do anything for the camper. Just make sure they aren't to tall so the camper has clearance.

Seems like Rivian likes to burn cash. I thought they were struggling to meet current sales goals. My understanding is the Georgia plant is to help with R2 and R3 production. The wife really like the idea of the R2 so let the cash burn! Makes me a little curious about their stock prices.

We have the under bed storage in our Camp-x. I'm 5'9" and my wife is 5'7". We can kind of sit up if we slouch some.

That's pretty accurate. We have some friends that are concerned about the environment. The always commuted to work by bicycle and public transportation. When covid hit and they were able to work remotely they bought a 7.3 F-250 and put a Bison hard side on it. It gets 10mpgs. It replaced a...

I keep hearing about the EPA cracking down on deleted trucks on the internet. In the real world I see a lot of deleted trucks even though I live in a county that requires inspections of diesel trucks. I'm sure they're trying to crack down on it but they have a long ways to go.

Advance the timing if you can when you get to your destination. It'll still run rich but it'll help.

I have no clue about the new market. The OP stated up to five years old. The 6.2 Fords don't hold value compared to the other options. It's is a dated engine but it's reliable and more than capable of carrying a camper.

OEV Camp-x. Our F250 has a GVWR of 10000 with almost 3500lbs of payload.

If you're trying to save a few bucks get the Ford 6.2. It's reliable and cheaper because everyone wants the 7.3. 2020+ F350 with the 6.2 gets the 10 speed trans. Fully loaded we're over 9600lbs on 35s and have zero issues keeping up with traffic even on the I70 corridor in Colorado.

Drive slower. Our Tacomas got 11 MPGs at 80 and 20+ at 60 mphs. Our thirsty 6.2L F250 on 35s will get 15 mpgs at 60 mph. Drive less. In 4 years we've only put 30k miles on our F250. When I was young I would drive 30k miles in a single year just for work. You could get a 1/2 ton truck with...

Same goes for me. I'm trying to justify buying my mom an EV just because I'm tired of working on her high mileage Lexus 🤣 At least the new Scout looks good. The Scout was probably my least favorite International truck so that might swing my opinion some too.

I have a solution!

It should be fine a couple nights a year. Sound like a fleet vehicle that's idling for 6 to 8 hours every day. Just keep in mind that idle time is run time. You should change your oil more often.

I was going to say us younger guys like them too but then I remembered I'm 41 🤣

The Sequoia is very different. The front suspension is like the Tundra and is different from the LC. The rear end is IRS versus the LC solid axle. I didn't know about the transmission and transfer case. It's a good vehicle but it's doesn't share as much with the LC as you might expect.

It's a thing with a certain type of Jeep driver. We got a buddy who only owns a Wrangler because he can flat tow it. He's always passing out ducks. My buddies that are hardcore off-roaders aren't really a fan of it. So naturally I keep a few around just to put on their Jeeps when I see them 🤣

I've owned 14 Toyotas and been a member of a couple of clubs. Everybody thinks their favorite gen is best gen. The last couple years they might have gone downhill but I don't really know. I think if the internet was more prevalent in the 1900s and 2000s you could swap in any model year motor...
