Depends on vehicle, terrain, and size. (wheel and tire size)
Pizza cutters are great on old jeeps or any other excessively light vehicle.
Too narrow and too tall, combined, will wiggle and handle poorly on heavy fullsize trucks with campers or trailers. You need the right ratio of width...
When I bought my house, I was worried about the cost of landscaping with a few flower pots. Because you know, $2.85 flower pots add up! That's how silly and pointless fuel mileage is.
Do you need front and rear lockers? Get the SD.
Do you need 37" tires? Get the SD.
Staying stock...
Durability and reliability are two different things. Japanese trucks were reliable, but I've never found them to be durable. Domestic can have better durability if you play your cards right. Play them wrong, and domestic is neither durable or reliable.
Reliability has never been a...
There's zero reason for any screen there.
I don't like it. Front is too busy, tail lights are supposed to be red. I'm sure that they'll come up with something more tasteful for the Raptor. There's still plenty of people interested only in ugly trucks.
Biggest dead blow hammer harbor fraught sells is perfect for knocking wheels off.
Dolly thing weighs more than just bringing your own table or canopy. Try a different camp site arrangement. You don't have to setup exactly the same everywhere.
People like you call everyone with a differing opinion a troll. I already have you on ignore, but this is just too entertaining. I can throw some confirmation bias out, If it'll make you feel better.
I've consistently posted exactly what I like about any truck I'm talking about, and...
I might add the ''max trailer assist'' package to get the 360 camera's and the electroboost steering motor thingy. The dual battery package and dual alternators could be handy for some overlanders.
Rumor mill: The 7.3 has been delayed because the canadian plant put a stooge on the assembly...
Like them in the rear axle. Prefer autolockers in the front, if the trucks front axle can handle it.
If an autolocker can't be used up front, I'd like an ARB or a Truetrac. Truetrac if you need more than an open diff while taking tight turns very often. Like muddy uphill switch backs...
My 17' Ford seats 5 adults and one child. Practical overlanding comfort? Just 4 people.
Same with the burb's or the H1. The burb's extra seats don't count, because it's miserable beyond 4 people IMO.
The H1 has generous room on the trans tunnel to stack gear. And the ambulance...
And people never take into account when the new semi-auto's screw up. I'm in no hurry, so the extra speed of the auto, doesn't make up for it selecting the wrong gear for a hill. And line haul truck drivers have every inch of their route memorized, so.....
Give an 18 speed a better user...
I've got no problem with people liking what they like.
It's when they scream and shout every time someone else posts factual bad experiences overlanding with those vehicles. Let ''so and so'' talk about how quickly a GM front end fails with a front autolocker. Fluid film needs to be...
Mines ratchet strapped to the rear seat frame. It's not going anywhere. It's easy to fab a metal mounting bracket as well, then the strap is redundant.
On the '17, I'm considering just drilling two holes in the floor and simply through bolting it to the cab.
You'll still have to work the bugs out of any other new ride. Ram, jeep, ford, toy, nippo denso, mitsu, whatever, they all have these same issues right now.
