We've been transporting our MTB bikes inside vehicles for many years. This is the best and cheapest option for us!

Well... you'd need to experience proper suspension to understand why. There is a MASSIVE difference.

In this series we travel OFF ROAD through the entire state of Idaho! Our track follows much of the BDR route (Back Country Discovery Route). However our track is altered to incorporate historic sites and plenty of recreational activities such as paddle boarding and mountain biking. We will spend...

Depends on how you use the truck... 2.5" or 3" body shocks will provide more shock resistance due to the larger diameter size. This is important if carrying heavy loads and trying to control the weight shifting (think truck campers). Little 2" shocks can only do so much. On road use (and...

Yep. It's easy to change and test. There is a maximum tire diameter the computer will accept. TIRE DIAMETER ABA is listed as the "Tire Circ. Limit" which is 2746 (decimal) or 0xABA (hex) - 0ABA PCM Update required after completing TPMS Pressure Limits (change what air pressure light is...

Yes. No lights. Speedometer is dead on with 37s. Getting the tire size changed in the computer with the axle ratio will help computer with shifting. And correct mpg, speed and odometer. There are lots of fun things that can be programmed. Window functions, display screen, lights and lots...

Have you used Forscan to re-program your gear ratio and tire size?

Try monitoring the real time fuel consumption / MPG. It definitely likes the low rpm. Shifting to 5th will typically drop fuel economy 2mpg. It's amazing the hills the motor will pull at 2k rpm or less. Around town it seems to stay under 1,500rpm. Worth playing with for sure! Towing mode makes...

@freelheeler I doubt you'll find a re-gear worth the money. But that's just my guess! To find out... swap a set of stock tires onto the truck. That will be the equivalent ratio you'll get with 4.88 gears and 37s. 35s and 4.88s will give you a slightly lower ratio. Lower ratios will only really...

We've been happy with the OX locker! Using it air activated from ARB compressor. It's been completely reliable for 2 yrs. I've had much more drama with past ARB lockers.

Lower gears are helpful for everything except MPG and top speed. If you generally travel under 60mph and are not too concerned about fuel mileage... then 4.88s may be the ticket. For the cost of aftermarket gears... I'd go 4.88. It would give a bit more torque starting out especially if...

In this video we share our Truck Camper Towing thoughts and things to consider: MPG – Your fuel mileage will suffer when towing. Wind drag, weight and rolling resistance all negatively affect your mpg and range. It’s important to know the towing MPG so you can appropriately plan refueling...

Light duty Full Size = Car-like Truck Great for driving empty most of the time! High Tech Motors = MPG > Reliability + Durability Can tow but need to carefully watch weights. F150 offers HD frame and towing enhancements to make more functional with large fuel tank (36 Gallon). Fuel economy...

Yep! We had clearance issues on moderate dirt roads. And less drop hitch required... Spring over conversion works great!

It's hauling our toys... Yamaha RMAX and z125

Towing for the summer adventures! The trusty 6.2L pulls the trailer no problem (16k GCW). Not a big fan of towing but planning more basecamp adventures and off road fun. Will see how it goes. Can't believe our truck is over 2yrs old. Time flies

This is more a financial question than a capability question. Do you have cash saved for a new truck? If not... simple decision. Already made for you. I'd recommend putting aside $500-1000/month that would be saved toward your replacement truck but could also be used for unexpected repairs...

37 fits in the stock location. That's what we have. Actually it's 35.75" actual diameter. KO2 measure 36" new mounted and will fit aired down. We put a used KO2 in fully aired up. Stock location is by far the best.

For durability, capability and reliability... no question the Super Duty. Plus can get some great options like vinyl seats and floor, aux switches, locker, 4.30 gears. You can buy in the mid $40s with XL model. F150 may have a very slight mpg increase. But mostly the advantage would be...

The best way to cure the raising car prices is to quit buying luxury versions of "standard" vehicles. There's no reason you need leather, heated seats, heated steering, technology packages... and on it goes. The fully "loaded" vehicle price is often 50-100% more than the base model. There...
