With the truck you are planning on getting and the lenght of camper you want the FWC is the logical choice (ATC if you want to save a few $$ although the ATC is not as nice inside and lacks a few features the FWC has). The Granby will eat up half of your GVWR, occupants, gear, water and whatever...

I agree with your first 2 statements. :cool: Does not look like that new Chevy truck will threaten Ram in the looks department. :eek: But I'am a Ram fan.

The old man was a very smart and wise person, played around with rockets in the 50's/60's at Cape Canaveral, he had what we call today street cred. Not saying you need to change trucks. After doing some rear suspension mods/sway control etc. you might be just fine and I would do that first...

During your 180 mile test run was there any high side winds or much curvy/hilly 2 lane highways encountered? That's where a lack of "not enough truck" will rear it's ugly head. Driving a pick up truck not up to the requirements of a large hard side camper in high winds WILL get your attention as...

Very nice truck and camper you have!

Kinda late to this thread don't know how I missed it.:oops: Any way my .02 cents worth on the original question is if you can afford to get the Aisin by all means do it. I have had the Aisin behind both the Cummins and now a 6.4L Hemi and just can't say enough good things about it, only thing I...

Back in 1979-82 or so I owned my one and only thumper. It was a ******** Mann framed Suzuki DR-370 with Simons Forks and the new (at the time) Fox coil over rear shocks. Handled like a dream but was a bit underpowered but also much lighter than the TT/XR-500's of it's day. For those who don't...

Yep that payload will get used up quickly just like every other truck out there. Still it has more payload than the Taco? I would also think a extra cab/6' bed to have a little more payload potential. A extra cab with clam shell doors (like the FJ Cruiser) would make access to rear of cab a...

The great thing about the pretenders is that they get tired of pretending in the same vehicle so go on to the next vehicle to pretend in. So in the next 2 to 5 years there should be a lot of good clean Gladys/Scrambles that have not been used, abused or molested for us to buy at a better price...

Wasn't really sure if he was asking you or me but he now knows why we did what we did. Like you I was trying to keep the overall lenght of the truck/camper as short as possible to facilitate ease of getting around in city traffic and the ability to get reasonably off the beaten path. I feel I...

For me a extra cab version with a 6' bed in a Ruby trim level would be the shite ?. Sure it might be a bit long to be the "perfect" wheeler for a purist but I'am sure it will get me where I want to go with all the stuff I want to bring with me, ain't happening with a 2 door JK/L. And if I drive...

Please do, looking forward to seeing you again buddy.

No. 9' long bed because my truck is a cab/chassis and has 9' long frame rails behind cab.

Maybe get a JK instead of the JL, sounds like there is some bad weld issues with the JL. Save some $$$ that could cover the Sport/Rubi price difference.

Thanks Jason. Still here at the Canyon, probably be here for another 3 to 5 years until I retire. Hadn't seen you here on the Forum for awhile, still have the FJ and in Texas? Doug

Has to do with the truck registration cost, if the truck weighs under 10K the cost for a business to register it goes way down. The truck is capable of hauling more than it is rated at. Other things a lot of people don't take into consideration is the axles and spring pack ratings of a...

If your not runnin for some public office you should be OK..... Hear you guys on back injuries, getting old and clutches. Back in '86 I was in a head-on collision hit by a woman driving while having a epileptic seizure and ended up with a back injury that has caused me problems off and on ever...

Come on over to the dark side.... its warm and quite comfortable....Really

But at least clutch is consistant on the transmission choice!

Last August was the 2 year anniversary of our 2016 Ram, it had a tick over 22K on the clock. For most of the 2nd year the truck has been hauling our Bundutec camper every where we go, since I have no intention of ever removing the camper off the truck. This of course effects the fuel mileage...
