    Small Toy Hauler?

    Elkhart Indiana where 90% of Thor and Forest River staple and caulk specials are made. I'll brb I had a list of toy haulers from years ago when I started my camper trailer search. I'll see if any still exist. I can't find my list it might be on my old computer HDD. ATC was one but I had them...

    I should clarify, I get 13-14 l/100 highway unladen. Towing our Escape 19 it's like 18-22 l/100 so yeah 11-13 mpg. The Ineos is retro in that it's not a giant touch screen to operate all of the controls. I like the physical dials and switches. It's modern in that it isn't saddled with a 4 speed...

    My V6 truck gets 17-18 on the highway not towing so it's not a game changer for me fuel economy wise, but that's a lot of range. I think what it's listed for is fair since it's a brick.

    RV Refrigerators - what is the current trend?

    I would suspect Thor and FR are using absorption fridges still, unless there are shortages in getting them. Escape offers a 12v compressor fridge as an option. In our case we have dual tanks of propane and I carry a 20# one in the truck for the stove/BBQ so essentially the tanks on the Escape...

    Yeah the small fuel tank is a bummer for range then, but I guess only so much room to fit a tank. I've been spoiled with my 136 liter tank I don't know if I can go back to a 90 liter for the road trip vehicle. Even with the price of fuel now. It's $1.80 a liter for 87 here right now and I put...

    What's Europe version of EPA fuel economy called? Is there a rated fuel economy for the gas Ineos yet?

    Eeewww 24 gallon fuel tank. I guess with diesel that wouldn't be as much an issue.

    Regular cab short bed 1/2 tons

    Aren't those just a splash guard of some sort? I haven't seen a current body style reg cab in person, I'm guessing by the photo

    A Sign of Our Times…

    Lots are bare here. Especially Toyota. Nissan there was a two or three Frontier a couple Pathfinder and a half dozen rogue's. Most of them were sold already. Toyota has four RAV4 and bone had a window sticker do maybe were all sold. Custom order to get what you want is nice, but 10k off...

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    I've been saying for years now, when the base engine is 280-300 HP in budget trim trucks, we are living in the golden era for ICE vehicles. If you went back to when I was in highschool and told me the average sedan/compact of the 2020s has 150-180HP 4 cylinder and the average truck was 350-450HP...

    2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

    The dealer can recalibrate for any factory tire size AFAIK. I've corrected my tire size using my tuner, and haven't got around to reading up and or getting Forscan.

    Black Series fire hazard

    An even more slight derail of this, R-POD and equivalent were specced with 2900# axles on a trailer with a 3500# GVWR when I was looking at them. So seeing axle failures on those doesn't at all surprise me, as it barely does the job on paper, assuming you loaded the trailer perfectly to get the...

    Tired of Old Junk but no Interest in Newer 4x4s

    You can kill anything, especially if you put it in fleet without somebody managing fleet. I put a couple 4 speed AODs in the grave prematurely, amongst other things while working at companies that expected you to book maintenance on your own time.

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Aren't the last 3 gears super tall OD gears in the ten? And a fairly low first gear, tho not as low as Nissans new 9 speed. The 2.7 EB has been around since 2015 or whatever, if dropping valves was a design issue it wouldn't just be popping up in new Bronco's. In my industry quality control...

    We have 12.5 more years of ICE sales, so if u get a new one next year, and the vehicle is commercial grade and meant to last 20+ years you could drive it well until they stop selling fuel for non commercial use. (Which I assume government would do first, as industry and farming probably won't be...

    I'm getting really tired of living in an anomalous zone. Such a bizarre province, that does everything different than the rest of North America.
