We were in a similar position in 2019. We wanted to sell our Tacoma and move up to full size. Initially we were shopping f-150s in the 2012 to 2015 range. We had a hard time finding an F-150 that didn't feel clapped out even with less than 50k miles on them. We test drove a '07 Tundra with...

I say get the heavier coils and install the the heavier rear sway bar. The biggest issue the RAM 2500s have when carrying a camper is the where the coils are located on the truck. While the Rebel might solve your payload issue, it's not going to solve the engineering issue. If anything a...

I feel like you're equating national Forest/blm with national parks. They are very different.. I've been to state parks in Texas, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas. None of them even come close to offering any type of dispersed camping, mountain biking, and dirt...

I'll wait to see if anything actually gets sold off. Most likely there will be more leases sold for resource extraction which in the short term is essentially the same thing but in the long-term leaves the land for public luse. State Management is probably worse if you like open spaces. The...

It's parade quality. Looks great going buy.

Give it a 7' bed and I'll sell my '79.

It's a completely different scenario. We added heavier springs front and rear to our Tundra and it was still softer than the stock Springs that came on our F250. I added a rear sway bar to the rear of our Tundra to help improve the handling. Loaded with 3,000 lbs our f250 wouldn't touch the top...

Good call! That exactly why I wish I had started with a F250. I spent a ton of money making my Toyotas able to carry weight. It F250 has 3500lbs of payload with a 10,000lbs GVWR. Fully loaded we are at 9,600lbs and it handles it like a champ.

Check out this build thread. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/2021-ram-3500-tradesman-aev-prospector-fwc-grandby.221431/ Personally I would get a gas truck. While the diesel range is nice and the power is addicting the cost isn't worth it in my opinion.

Is it just you or multiple people traveling with you? Decide how much comfort you want. We spent a Thanksgiving freezing around a Mr. Buddy heater and sick of climbing over a tailgate with snowy feet. That's how we ended up with the FWC shell on a Tundra. Our only real option we added to the...

We left our blankets and pillows on the bed in our hawk. We did move the pillows to the middle. Never had an issue. It was a '19.

Have you run the Baja Boss ATs on a heavier truck? I'm really interested in them but I heard mixed things about them on heavy trucks. We're 9,600lbs.

Are you running sway bar in the rear? I experimented with only running one in the rear. I do that before I'd put the front one back on.

I pulled both off of our F250. Or truck had them front and rear. Fully loaded with our camper we are 9600lbs. The truck actually tracks better on road without them. It does lean more in the corners but it's also more predictable. No more hopping when there are bumps in the road. The longer...

Bless your heart.

Bigger tires are nice. I typically run 45 to 50C tires on my gravel bike. Lauf has some options that may work. Their forks are very forgiving. https://www.laufcycles.com/product/lauf-seigla#gid://shopify/Product/7171391225918

It has to do with the way the rear suspension is designed on the RAM 2500. Even the non PW 2500 isn't great for hauling a camper. The coils are to close together. Most people end up with a heavier sway bar. I really wanted one for the coil suspension but the few people I talked to convinced...

Those are some big meats for the 3.73s. Do you lock out sixth gear a good portion of the time?

They will all go up. There are a lot of made in Mexico tags on my US built Ford.

No. Save $25k and get a Lightening.
