    2019 Ram 2500 or 2020 Ford F-250???

    On my 2008 and 2015 Super Duties, if you turn off the key: The dash dies, the engine ignition dies, lights stay on because ford lights stay on when you turn them on, the transmission STAYS in gear, the TCC stays locked in, the engine keeps on turning over as long as you're moving, power steering...

    Tundra vs F150

    If the line haul, car haul guys, didn't change their dash screens out every 150,000 miles.......... That scam doesn't work on the 2017+ models, I think. Still no confirmation of that on the net.

    Tundra vs F150

    Plenty of 500k SD's out there. I don't keep up with 150's as much.

    Source Possibilty: Extrusion Connectors For DIY Sandwich Panel Makers

    2". If you decide to use 1" thin walls, you then have 1" of room to frame said walls where the meet the extrusions. Which thin walls might need anyways. These guys already are doing what you're asking: https://totalcomposites.com/freezer-trucks/ Just ask for a group buy. Pretty sure they...

    Tundra vs F150

    1% warranty failure rate is pretty darn good for any US manufacturer. Give or take aircraft. That's at least 750 broken warranty Fords trucks every month. A 4% failure rate means one warranty truck every month per dealership. (Assuming that lil Lincoln dealers also count) If you build...

    Hardside camper on truck bed trailer

    My point was that it makes no sense to use an uber expensive slide in camper, as a trailer. When big trailers cost as much, and tiny trailers are far less.

    Tundra vs F150

    I think I had a $6000 end of year rebate on mine. Some assorted Dodge dealers have $10,000 off at least. Half way there already: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/new/nl-New-Ram-2500-Akron-d2102_L27079#listing=235528042 Watch that price plummet in 6 months.

    Tundra vs F150

    Someone start a Fullsize vs LMTV thread! Especially the M1079's. Do you know how big of a Caterpillar sticker I could put on the box of one of those? Much gnashing of teeth in the Cummins campground then.

    Split the difference with a 383: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mll-bp3830ctc1s/overview/make/chevrolet I don't think Al heads are worth the extra $1000 for a burb, but they sell those as well.

    Tundra vs F150

    You can see the two frames here. It's pretty darn obvious which one is stronger: And Tundra frame = 3/4 ton frame might be true of a 1979 Chevy. But that's the dumbest assumption I've heard in a while. Line it up next to a '17+ 250/350/450 frame. The difference is comical. If you...

    Hardside camper on truck bed trailer

    For the cost of a tiny little truck camper, I can get a huge TT. 25' easy. And premium TT's are only a slight bit more than a camper.

    Looking for advise: Upgrades needed for Ram 2500 to carry truck camper?

    Sumo Springs Rebel, or even the lil bumpstop versions might be fine. Never skimp on tires. Cooper STT and Toyo MT's seem to handle campers off road well. The Toyo's are a harder compound IMO. Helwig sway bars are popular. Frame mounted camper tie downs help a bit as well. 1" of bed flex...

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    I'd put four 4x4 posts in the ground and connect them. Then use ratchet straps to lift the box. Rip the posts out of the ground and save them for another project. Unless you have a spot where 4 unsightly posts would be ok.

    Kinda stinks that a ht502 isn't on your list. https://www.jegs.com/p/Chevrolet-Performance/Chevrolet-Performance-HT502-502ci-406HP-Truck-Crate-Engine/760849/10002/-1

    Ford Superduty Tremor "off road" 2020 F250/F350.

    Have to rip the winch out to replace the flimsy PW bumper with one that's proper for winching. Have to rip out the PW front diff when someone doesn't listen and neglects their waterlogged diff fluid, and rusts the star ring so it won't engage. Nobody cares about the sway bars, my truck...

    Ford Superduty Tremor "off road" 2020 F250/F350.

    I might just put a Tremor sticker on my XL, I'm just about already there feature wise. Still holding back on the 4.88's.

    Trailer tongue weight distribution

    [Stop moving the trailer by hand. That's what the truck is for.]

    Have you looked into rear facing car seats for your under fours?

    How does rear facing do in hard rear end collisions? Front end collisions in my truck, that's very unlikely. Rear ended? Very, very likely.

    Tundra vs F150

    If you're trading in, a perfectly fine 6 year old truck, then you really shouldn't be spouting off about the $ numbers. You don't even start saving money until the truck is paid off. For many, that's six years. Why treat it like a disposable kia econobox? In my AO, the guys who spec'd their...
