    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    Thanks. @OVRLNDFX4 I am assuming this is your build? Looks great. Wish you had a build tread! I do have a few questions for you if you don't mind: - Do you recommend bed stiffeners? I thought they were only needed on Tacomas - What wood thickness did you use for the bed plate? How did you...

    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    Garage height is 82" and the f-150 tremor I just bought is quite high. 58in at bed rail. Doesn’t clear even without fan. Per Tune official specs attached I need 33.8in and 38.8in to clear without and with fan respectively. With a 8ft garage I would clear with no fan but wouldn’t with a fan...

    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    Thanks for the feedback. Do you daily drive your F-150? OVRLNDFX4 did not return any result on IG. Do you have a link? When you say tent camping you mean RTT or ground tent? Your message sounded like ground tent but I see a RTT on your profile picture. I was under the impression that you can...

    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    Recently acquired a F-150 Tremor 5.5ft bed to replace our Bronco + RTT setup (with pull out fridge/kitchen). Was super happy about this setup, except kid 1 is on the way and this will be too tight. We also did not like having to put the RTT on the roof each time we go camping. THIS IS OUR ONLY...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    It’s funny because I saw this video a while ago and was going to post it here after I saw your previous message before that one. Also, as Phsycle just posted, contrary to what you said in the previous message the manual specifically mentions High Altitude. Anyway, I am not blaming you for not...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    By the way, to everybody who said I should not consider mid size, and that I should buy a Super Duty, have a look at this thread, it’s interesting: https://forum.gofastcampers.com/t/camping-in-a-gfc-with-kids/10361 Multiple families of 4+ (my favorite is the family with 2 older kids + 1 huge...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    The “85 octane at altitude is like 87 in lowlands” works for non turbo engines with carburators. This has been obsolete for decades with newer turbo engines. It’s well documented online. Also, Ford manuals specifies that even at high altitude 85 Octane should never be used and can void the...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Here it is in the garage. 10K miles, 8 months old 2023 model, paid 57K (72K MSRP window sticker), I think it’s a decent deal. Front Torsen differential and High Package. I am gonna put Raptor Gen 1 Fox Racing shocks. That’s the deal of the century, found by some forum members on another forum...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    I pulled the trigger on a slightly used 2023 F-150 Tremor so here is that. It fits nicely in the garage, until I put a camper on it then it will have to sleep in the street. First « expensive » vehicle I buy used. Slightly nervous because there is no way to know if the guy did the breaking...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Yea yeah I am looking at Lariats as well! Tremor suspension is garbage, I would change those anyway. Currently in the wilderness, drove a bad trail at 50mph for almost an hour in the Bronco and couldn’t stop thinking the entire way about how a slow PITA it would be in a Van or a subaru. I am...

    About to pull the trigger on an Xpedition voyager, any real competition I’m missing?

    I am taking a look at trailers for similar needs and I would like to know why not pick a TetonX or Boreas EOS 12? Both allow to fully stand up and have everything you said (insulation, truma combi…) Also that one: https://australianoffroad.com.au/hybrid-campers/odyssey-signature-11/

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    That’s a 20% fuel consumption difference and from research I just made it looks like built out with a camper people are definitely below 14 with daily driving use. More like 12-13, which is a 30% difference with the F-150. I admit it also scares me to daily drive in the city we live in with a...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    The question was mid size vs full size for my use case. The answer from people was a loud « Full size ». To which I said I am now convinced, and waiting for the right truck, with my first choice being a F-150 Tremor. A lot of people also said I should look at trailers. Although many people...

    Definitely not the goal no. Couldn’t figure the goal of your message either.

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Oh I sure am not. I have been studying Tremors for months, and been watching prices, daily for months now, talked and negotiated with half a dozen dealers, and third parties. I have alerts in a 500 miles radius around me and see every used Tremor going for sale. My dealer had 3 brand new ones...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Thanks @UglyViking for the write up. Thanks a lot for having a look! Unfortunately all of those are the base Tremor (non high package). That package which I want is $8K (now $11K on the 2024) and so this goes a long way showing how good the deal I had was (basically including a $8K package for...
