    4wd motorhome - San Diego

    It has some nice features, but I feel like I can hear that 5.4 screaming (300hp/365 tq @ 3750 rpms) with only a 4spd and that weight, tire size, & frontal area. The 4.10s will help, but then those miles too. I don't know--at any speed above 60, and if you are in the mountains or elevation?

    Making a B+ or C Class more capable.

    YMMV. but a good rule is anything you do to make your rig it taller, iincrease rolling resistance/ground clearence, impact aerodynamics will at a minimum, cost you 1 mpg each at steady state 60-65 mph. Bigger tires +1 size up and 1 size wider (I assume the tire will be slightly heavier): -1 mpg...

    Ford Expedition overland build?

    Saw some Qs, so I thought I'd answer as I am currently the proud owner of a 2020 XLT FX4 Expy with HD tow package and working on making it more off-road worthy. As a side note, the Expy's room, power, towing, and economy lead the class (maybe the '21 Tahoes can match/exceed some?). This thing...

    How much extra fuel do you take?

    Something for your consideration: certain lengthwise tanks when low on fuel,at extreme angles, may experience fuel starvation. Adding 5-10 gallons of additional fuel will help prevent that from happening. Also--I have been told/read/heard--that some internal tank fuel pumps require fuel around...

    Bronco Killer: Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 470HP 392 CONFIRMED for 2021 Q1 sales.

    Cool toy. Dodge/Jeep have been making wild, special rides for awhile: Power Wagon, Hellcat, and Rubicon. I have owned nearly all of them--and while they are very cool, niche vehicles, their build quality and reliability--from my personal experience in dealing with five of their products, it's...

    Custom Monster 4x4 Overland Camper on 2019 Ford F450 Diesel

    It almost looks 'photoshopped... also, I feel like it needs another set of double rear tires out back for that overhang. Still, I'd love to see the interior and a four inch lift on it--with the extra set of dual wheels. A much more serviceable deuce and a half?

    Suburban vs Excursion for Family of 8

    I would also consider a Gen4 Ford Expedition FX4 in standard or MAX model (Suburban class sized). With the FX4 option checked they come with skid plates, 3.73 gears, 32 inch tall 18s, low gear set, neutral "dolly" towing capability, terrain control, locking rear axle, and the ability to tow...

    5 Gallon Water Can Covers?

    Hello, I am looking for 5 Gallon Water Can Covers? Scepter style cans... I looked here for previous threads and online but struggled to find anything. The little I found were A LOT of money. Found some surplus stuff but even that was sold out. I'd also like it to have a hole/slot up top so...

    Diamondback HD tonneau. Anybody have one?

    It is an amazing piece of kit. A bit pricey retail, and mine was 99.9% waterproof, just make sure you cement the rubber slide for the locking bars (unless they changed the design since 2012), as they are prone to slide off and make opening/closing difficult. For $1K that is an amazing deal...

    Swapping truck for a SUV - anybody done that and can share your experience? Pros and cons?

    Either one can be mitigated with the right trailer behind it. However, if you want the ability to carry more people and store items in a fully enclosed, locked and more controlled temp/humidity environment and be able to sleep peacefully knowing that at any moment, you can crawl forward, hop...

    2020 Ford Transit AWD

    The idea of the diesel is intriguing, but dang that will be a small engine for a big van fully kitted! Even geared perfectly I can't imagine it not being in the boost all the time... "Shoving aside the diesel inline-five, the 2020 Transit borrows the sequentially turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel...
