The problem is my coolant temps were stabilizing at 240-245F climbing only doing 50 mph if it was a hot day witha head wind. That day I came back from Wind River where it was 98F and could only hold 55 mph on the flats would have been horrific had I had to be on I-80 or I-15. The 18 wheelers...

I had a buddy with a 2018 Max tow F150 pull Parleys with his 7000 lb trailer and said he was foot to the floor doing 50mph. He lived out of his trailer for a year and towed all over the west and was not happy with the truck at all.

And i have a Mishimoto radiator now.

I don't think the Duratracs will hurt as bad as you think. I went from a 275/55R20 Bridgestone potenza(basically an all season, they were terrible in the snow) to a 275/60R20 Wrangler Duratrac on my F150 and saw basically zero hit in mpg. I was still averaging 17-18 in the summer and could pull...

Oh, also, one thing you need to be careful of on tire size with the 2016 F150's is the crash bars. These were not installed on trucks prior to 2015. I am running 315/70R17's on my basically stock height 2014, but that would be impossible on a 2015+. If you do decide to go up in tire size just do...

Also, I am thinking about doing the same thing as you with regards to the RTT. I have a Jayco X213 trailer right now, but man, sometimes taking that thing out for a quick weekend trip is a major PITA. By the time to get it ready before and then clean up after is almost as long as the trip itself.

The problem I have seen with the airbags on the F150 is that they can be damaged offroad. When I have full articulated my rear axle my Airlift Ridecontrols look like they are gunna rip in half. I honestly think they might even be stopping the axle from dropping fully. I am running Bilstein...

5500 lb GVWR Travel Trailer. Jayfeather X213. My truck's empty weight is literally 700 lbs more than the GVWR of the trailer. This truck cat scaled at 6140 lbs with nothing in it, no topper, and a full tank of fuel. Yes. Hills(mountains?), hot, windy and high elevation. Last year I towed from...

Im not buying another 3.5L Ecoboost until they fix the cooling system. I don't know if anyone saw but Andre on TFLTruck got his 2021 Powerboost so hot that he put it in Thermal Protection Mode. Thats been the story of my life the last 4 season towing my 5500 lb trailer around Utah, ID, and WY...

I've also had issues with the ARB in my 8" Toyota axle. it was leaking so bad the first time it was blowing air out the diff breather. I pulled the 3rd member and replaced the internal seal as well as the two x-rings on the little air spindle. It worked for a short amount of time and then...

What are they waiting for exactly? By the time they announce this thing it will already be on lots.

A Whippled 8.1L 2500? Does it get negative gas mileage? I saw a Burb 2500 the other day on 37x13.5's. I was so excited. My wife saw it and face palmed before I even had a chance to say anything :ROFLMAO:

Yeah i hope the non-TRD pro models arnt so bubbly and hideous. Ive actually gone from thinking it was ok to disliking it the more I look. I also hope the 3.5L retains the mechanical cooling fan that the land cruiser gets.

I wouldn’t want the diesel. My last truck prior to my Lexus GX was a 2006 Liberty CRD. Very similar motor to the diesel in the hilux(2.8L inline 4, with 160hp and 300 tq). Even tuned, with a larger turbo, it was a turd. Sure it could chug around in overdrive at 1800 rpm empty, but once you...

My truck has a Leer roof height shell but, next time around, I will go with the Grandpa high shell. Why? I have no idea. It will be easier to put my bikes in the back without swearing and may help punch a hole through the air while towing my camper. The wife and I area also talking about trying...

Just don't drive it in salt and you should be fine. My parents had an Astro van with the 4.3L and a bunch of relatives had GM 1500's from this era and they all ran great but the bodies and other items disintegrated around the driveline. I wanna say our Astro was at 220k when my dad scraped it...

This is it allegedly: https://tfltruck.com/2021/06/2022-toyota-tundra-new-photos-news/ Fingers crossed they truly made it a world beater like they said.

Does the 2wd Taco have something like A-Trac? If so, I think the Truetrac would be an excellent choice. The combination of the mechanical LSD with brake assisted traction control should get you through most anything a locker would. The one negative to the TT is that it will freewheel if one...

Its looking more and more like the 3.5L TT and 10 speed is gunna be it.

Im in UT and they seemed to be just below msrp, although there were not all that many available.
