I have meandered up the Christian Valley a ways. Spent a night at a nice lake behind Big White somewhere, then hooked back up with the 201 and came back to Penticton that way.

Thanks for the story (so far). I'm in Penticton, and have been wanting to go and drive up that road that starts by following the Grandby River for years.

99.9999999999% of FWC clad Tacoma's are out there every day, every year, year after year, and mile after mile doing their thing without so much as harming a flea..... never mind self-combusting from being "overloaded" and starting us down the road to the Apocalypse, or shedding their brakes...

Look for something used and "regular" in the way of a travel trailer. A number of years ago we bought a Rockwood Mini-lite 1809. It cost us about $10K Canadian and we towed it everywhere with our Xterra. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it held up to forestry and logging roads. I messed...

I am now running 35" Toyo AT2 Extreme's. I have 295 Ridge Grapplers in that photo from 2018, but decided to go up to the true 35". I am running full ADS Racing shocks tuned to my weight needs with external resi's triple bypass on the rear, and HD coils on the front. I have OME Dakar leafpacks...

Our previous set-up was an Xterra and rooftop tent. We put thousands of miles on it, including a 3-week 6500km trip to Colorado and back (I only mention as a reference point). for the past (almost) 4 years, we have had a Hawk and Tundra. and have and do travel extensively. Our longest trip was a...

I wear 11 4E wide shoes and have a pair of Merrell Phaserbound hiking boots that fit most excellently. I've had them for 4-odd years and they are super comfortable and fit nice and wide. You could try fitting on some Merrell hikers and see what you think. I have a helluva time finding decent...

I run the fridge on gas when driving, always. I've never used the DC option, I believe it's very ineffective and if you make the mistake of forgetting about it, it'll kill your battery in no time. I usually pre-cool on AC at home the day before, then switch to gas as soon as we start driving...

Congrats on the new camper. As far as the much-hated 3-way fridge goes, I love mine. It really depends on where you live, and how much access to sunlight you have to see if it's worth having or not. I live up here in BC, and we camp in dense tree cover and off-season a lot, so I find it great...

Not a cabover, but we drove over 3500km in 2wd to Inuvik in July of 2018, and then found ourselves having to lock in 4wd for a 10km stretch of the new road North of there to Tuk that was so new and soft it would have been extremely difficult on that day to get past that spot. So in that case...

Quick weekend camping trip last weekend. No complaints from either of us.

Cons: Small fuel tank in my 2014, can be remedied I guess but it would be a little pricey (may do it anyways as extended range would be nice). And no drivers side grab handle after something like 2013. This one ways easily remedied with the addition of one. Plastic oil filter housing can crack...

I've seen a few of them running around for what it's worth, and at the end of the day whatever works for your budget that gets you out adventuring and camping I say go for it. I spent 6 months trying to find a used FWC that fit our needs (we are in BC) and they were either impossible ot find, or...

We've made the decision to stay within our local area, and not go camping right now. We are going on easy local hikes, and the occasional local drive, but not leaving our local area. We are doing this of our own accord as their is no official lock down here in Bc, though non-essential travle...

I hve the DC and my sister has the Crewmax and while I could sit in the back of my DC (I'm 6'2"), their is absolutely no question the difference between the 2 is massive. Their is more room in the back seat of my sisters Crewmax for me to stretch out in, than in the front seat for crying out...

Winter tires off, 1/4 annual wash, and ready to (hopefully) roll. Sent from my SM-G975W using Tapatalk

While I've never owned a Tacoma, My brother in law has one, and previous to my Tundra I drove an Xterra. For me, the two biggest benefits of the full size truck (whatever one you prefer, I just preferred the Tundra over the others) are power and interior size and comfort. Of those two, the...

I took the rear seat out of my Tundra and made a dog bed and storage platform. Problem of bringing other humans along solved. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G975W using Tapatalk

Different strokes for different folks. For me, choosing a set-up is/was about dependability, reliability, long distance driving comfort, power, and some form of creature comfort in my camping set-up. For me their is no question that the compromise of having a full-size vehicle outweighs what I...

Honest, their is a camper under there. Sent from my SM-G975W using Tapatalk
