    Highway robbery with half tons

    Holy Moses, does Ford Canada despise it's customer. The 2020 MSRP is insane, even with the usual summer employee pricing discounts of 10-12k, paying 40k+ for an XLT SCAB is pretty rich, especially considering how blah Ford's interiors are. These are trucks I would actually buy. Plain old XLT...

    Who will Thor own next?

    Once the economy picks up again, how many more brands will fall to Thor and Forest River? NOBO 16s were retailing for 30+ thousand dollars locally last year. I can't wait to see that staple and glue goes for when half the independent builders go under. But it's ok we can finance them for 20...

    Thoughts on Ford Traction LOK LSD

    About to do a bunch of maintenance on my truck including fluid change on differentials. Considering adding a clutch LSD at the same time. Why clutch LSD? Cheaper up front cost, very street friendly. I am aware of the limitations of LSD off road. Is the Ford Traction LOK any good? Or should I...

    Something like a swing case/saddle box NO DRILLING

    I was all excited about the Swing case tool boxes as the video I watched was for 2015+ F150 and they installed without drilling. It appears for 09-14 trucks they require drilling into the bed. Is there any saddle style tool boxes that install without drilling holes? There are enough rust...

    Help me narrow it down: retail trailer edition

    Our staple and caulking special aka our purchased used 2010 Forest River Palomino Pony is nearing the end of its life. Barring stripping it down to the frame and rebuilding it. We have our trailers of "choice" narrowed down to 3 units. I use quotations because the trailer I/we want doesn't...

    Hot weather experience with fiberglass egg trailers

    Hoping people here have experience camping in hot weather (80°f + 25°c +) in fiberglass egg style campers. Like a 17' Casita, Scamp, or especially Escape. Right now my wife and air have a crappy pop up camper. I've had enough of stapled together OSB and caulking, but at the very least these...

    Anyone with a Trailmarker trailer yet?

    Curious if anyone on here has purchased and received one of these trailers. If not, has anyone been to the factory and checked out these things in person?

    Thoughts on the Rav4 TRD?

    I think its over priced locally, but what do you guys think about the new Rav4 TRD? Maybe competition for some Subarus? Especially ford folks who don't like CVT? Could be good for something thats a daily driver.

    Helpful specs for those interested in the 2.7 EB F150

    I'm not here to hate on the EB trucks, I'm just here to point out some specs right from Ford i wasn't expecting to see in regards to the listed capabilities of the 2.7 EB trucks. Particularly the super cab 4x4 configuration. Unless you have the 2.7 Payload Package, your truck is still limited...

    Goal zero, or other comparable systems

    Almost every year, my wife and I take a 2-3 week trip with our ******** box pop up camper. We almost exclusively get non power camp sites in campgrounds. We have been using a 90 watt Coleman solar panel w/ its charge controller to help keep the camper battery topped up. (All interior lights and...

    2014 F150 brake suggestions

    My 2014 F150 SCAB 4x4 needs pads all around, as well as rear rotors. Going to change fronts as well while we are at it. My OEM equipment made 90,000 KM, but to be fair the truck had 1500#s in it every day for four years while in fleet duty, plus towing a small trailer. Looking for suggestions...

    Canadian prices

    Just saw a Taxa Mantis for $42,xxx online in central Canada, and an inTech Luna for $27990. So if you are in the USA and thinking trailers are expensive, perhaps this will make you feel better.

    Trail Marker trailer. Anyone seen this before or have one?

    https://www.trailmarkeroutdoors.com/our-story They have some varieties. Honeycomb composite walls. I think the size might be a sweet spot for a few people on here, larger than tear drop, but not huge. Anyone have one of these, and could speak to quality?

    Troy PAR

    Anyone have personal experience with the Troy PAR? Reason I ask is I am considering one as an all around rifle. I live in Canada, where rifles that meet non-restricted criteria can arbitrarily be reclassified as restricted or prohibited. I've shot an AR exactly twice in my life, and was weirded...

    Express Custom trailers... a canvass to start?

    http://www.expresstrailer.ca/trailers/specialty-trailers/ In case this tickles any Canadians (Or Northern State Americans) fancy, some of these seem like a good starting point to equip and modify if you don't have the fab skills to build a trailer from scratch. I haven't seen these in person...

    Ford 8.8 rear traction aid

    Just wondering if anyone here is running a 2013-14 Ford 8.8 rear end and has installed a non OEM limited slip(clutch or helical), or locker. If so, what did you install, and how has it performed both on street and on road? I think in 2012 or 13 they changed the pinion bearing size, so many...

    Somebody here has to know where to look...

    My wife and I are trying to find a manufacturer of a quality built small hybrid travel trailer 14-16'(tip out side or rear bunk), or a 10' + front storage conventional style pop up trailer. A quick background: I am in Central Canada, where there is minimal industry, and sparse population. Our...
