I'm in the same boat now. How do you feel about your decision?

We've looked nationally, but I'm apprehensive to buy a used vehicle without driving it first.

Damn... we just looked at the cheapest 6.2 Ford offered locally and they wanted $19,900 with 100k miles, a 1/2 hole in the roof and no spare tire. He also said they won’t take our 16’ F150 for a trade since it’s worth to much. I guess we need to look in Idaho!

It feels like we’ve been looking at Fords forever, but haven’t found our next truck in our budget, under $20k. Time to expand the search. I know nothing about Chevy, GMC, or Dodge trucks. What are the good years and the bad years? Every manufacturer has their years. I don’t want to start a who’s...

Yes. Sorry. Obviously all very important details. Location: West Coast of the USA Miles: sub 75k 4x4 Price: Sub $25k USD or Indonesian Rupiah payable in cash or IOU’s. Your choice. The rest i believe is in the original post or insignificant.

I went to an auction and bought a truck about 15 years ago and it lasted less than a year. Ran ok at best, but after a few months you could start seeing where the frame was in really rough shape and the engine would need some work. Its not like it wasn't drivable, but I wanted the vehicle to...

Super Crew.

My wife and I are looking for 2011+ F350 Screw Cab with a 6.2L and an 8' bed. Open to a F250 as well as a 6 3/4' box as long as its payload is over 3k. Lower the trim level the better. Pretty much everything we've seen locally has been a fleet vehicle out of Canada and has the undercarriage...

I literally just read a thread over there where he surpassed 400k and came over here to see what others had to say about the 6.2.

I read that and the Bilstein post. Thanks!

I have an F-150 and am wondering what's the right way to level the truck out when carrying its max payload (2100lbs) through Baja and Mainland Mexico? Not planning on any hard wheeling, but if there's a trail to an empty beach, I want to take it. I'm planning on running E rated General Grabber...

I'm ordering a FWC next week and after reading all these comments I still feel like it's the right choice. My main reasons for selecting a FWC over any of the other more modern designs is price, proven history of reliability, their customer service. I'm going with a shell because I felt like...

Were going with 2-5 gallon cans and a water bladder under a sub floor of our hawk shell. We’ll have the bladder on either a hand pump or a 12v pump and possibly a filter as well. Our plan is to fill the bladder with cans and then fill the cans. This will give us a decent amount of water. We’re a...

We have and love their build. We’re using it as a “base”, but we’ll be building ours from 80/20 aluminum and putting our 3rd bunk above the door rather than along the side. Thanks for the response.

We’ve got 6 and 7 y/o and are going with a F150 Screw Cab and a FWC Hawk shell. Hawk shell is $13kish installed and we’re going to build out a sleeping system for the kids. Dogs sleeps on her own platform in the truck where she can keep watch.

Can’t help you with your route, but enjoy. We leave June 21 with our truck camper from Washington.

My wife bought a set for our F150 from wish.com. We’ve used them a lot on all our road trips across country. They’ve worked great, but they look cheap.

Ordering our Hawk shell this week and am super stoked! This trip has been in the works for years! For those that have built out their own shells, what would you do differently or advice do you have. We have a 6 and 7 y/o and will be FT'ing it locally from May 1st-June 21st. Once the kids...

I went to install my Rhino Rack rails today and I... ugh... well, let’s just say I now have 7- 1/4” holes in the roof that I don’t need. The 2 closest to the truck cab are right on the edge of the thick center section of the shell and I’ve read to not tighten anything there as it’ll crush it. So...

Awesome! Thanks for the response everyone. I've got an F-150 so the 79" bars stays well within the mirrors. Time for a monster order to Rhino Rack!
