    Having Difficulty Pricing my F-150 to Sell

    Google what your model year and trim is selling for at dealerships within a 200 mile radius. Average those prices. Subtract 15% That should be where you sell it at or there abouts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone familiar with Skinny Guy Truck Tent Campers?

    Initially I really liked the idea, but now I think they tried to add too much into the small space. I’d rather see this with a side flip and rear kitchen pull out. I’ve never been a fan of cooking in the tent. I’d rather have an awning with ample elbow space to cook under. I think something...

    Ram Chassis Cab vs 3500 Pickup for next vehicle? Input needed! For flatbed truck camper.

    Perhaps it has changed then recently. Traditionally, a gas engine HD truck has always had a higher payload than a diesel due to the weight difference in the motors. Which is why a lot of folks who have camper shells/slide in campers/flatbeds have chosen the gas engine. Sent from my iPhone...

    I mean payload. Not towing. The towing capacity of a diesel is greater but a gas engine has more room for higher payload due to the lighter engine block. And with a flat bed, that matters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram Chassis Cab vs 3500 Pickup for next vehicle? Input needed! For flatbed truck camper.

    A gas truck will have a higher GVWR. A diesel truck will get ~20% better fuel economy. A diesel will need extra maintenance with fuel filters, water separators, DEF refills, and eventually the emissions equipment (unless you delete the equipment). If you delete it, your fuel economy will...

    BIG CAMPERS

    It’s my understanding that there is a weak point purposefully designed into the frame at the cab/bed intersection for crash rating. When the ZR2 came out I remember trailers with heavy younger weights causing it as well. I believe Chevy has since slightly reinforced that area to keep trailers...

    It’s my experience that it’s the opposite. Super slow (too much) rebound and very little compression. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shocks do not “handle” weight. Shocks control springs, springs carry weight. If a spring is bouncing the trailer all over the place, the shock needs to be valved to the user’s preference. Shocks will control how fast/slow a spring can compress and rebound. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2023 UEV-14

    That would definitely affect the tracking. Even with the weight down low, you never want more than 40% of the weight behind the axle. I forget how many liters they said were in the tanks, but water weighs 2.2 lbs per liter. So using that number should give you at least a starting point for...

    It’s just insulting to see that price and not have a significantly larger battery bank and more capable solar array. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2023 UEV-14

    $70k+ and only has 300w of solar and 300Ah batteries that aren’t even lithium. Plus the AC and heat won’t run with out supplemental power. That’s a red flag if you ask me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram Chassis Cab vs 3500 Pickup for next vehicle? Input needed! For flatbed truck camper.

    Lol. I guess I hit a nerve. Either way you slice it, AEV does nothing to increase the actual performance of the suspension. Their metal on their brackets is thin, their drag links fail, and the lift does nothing for ride quality. Their flipped drag link is a great idea that does in fact...

    Ram Chassis Cab vs 3500 Pickup for next vehicle? Input needed! For flatbed truck camper.

    I know for a fact it will. I would push you to Thuren or Carli though. The AEV is a lift in appearance only. It does not really increase performance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram Chassis Cab vs 3500 Pickup for next vehicle? Input needed! For flatbed truck camper.

    They are the same suspension and axles. I think the only difference is the exhaust, fuel tank/def tank placement/size, and some of the electronic options. IIRC, you can get a Limited trim now in chassis cabs too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If you are 100% doing a flat bed, it will be cheaper to go chassis cab. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Penn v momms states that an officer can pat down a citizen once pulled out of the car without breaking the 4th. It DOES NOT allow the officer to search the car. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_v._Mimms Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
