    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Oh I sure am not. I have been studying Tremors for months, and been watching prices, daily for months now, talked and negotiated with half a dozen dealers, and third parties. I have alerts in a 500 miles radius around me and see every used Tremor going for sale. My dealer had 3 brand new ones...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Thanks @UglyViking for the write up. Thanks a lot for having a look! Unfortunately all of those are the base Tremor (non high package). That package which I want is $8K (now $11K on the 2024) and so this goes a long way showing how good the deal I had was (basically including a $8K package for...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Yeah well I have had alerts for the last 3 months and this was the first decent deal to show up in a 500 miles radius. They are rare because the 2023 is gone, and the 2024 Tremor is delayed / late availability. With the 2024 being more expensive and the high package now including more useless...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    You seem very knowledgeable. What about Kimberley Kruiser, Bruder EXP and Kingdom? What’s the best between all of those and the Pause 16.4 and X145?

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    It is true that there is no way we respect payload limit on a Tacoma with a family. The truth is 95% of overlanders are way above GVWR. I always respected that limit and we weighted ourselves fully loaded for a 10 day roadtrip on the Bronco and came in at 20lbs under GVWR with a 980lbs rating...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Well so the fully loaded 2023 Tremor for 61K that was posted yesterday sold this morning 5 minutes after they opened. We just drove to the dealership. I waited 3 months for a deal like this after missing the deals on the new one back in December and missed it. So I guess I have more time to...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    All good ideas. Already test fitted a back facing car seat and I am tall so it works either in the middle seat or behind my wife. I have talked to people on some Tacoma forum who have 2 kids and make it work no pbm. It works for sure. Is it comfortable enough to live with for me? I don’t know...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Again, thanks for the answers. At this point I am pretty much convinced for the Full Size (I still would love someone using a mid size with counter arguments chime in). For the trailer, I went from 0% to 20%. First of all, what trailer are we talking about? A Tune camper, with full interior...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    First of all, thanks a lot all for your messages. Love this community. 1) the overwhelming advice is: full size. I get it. If somebody on this forum reads this and uses a mid-size with a similar setup (alucab, tune, OVRLND,...) with kid I would like to read about your experience. I will say...

    SOLD! 2022 Alu-cab Khaya 4 Sleeper

    Not to highjack your post, but while bumping it, may I ask what setup are you looking at for your growing family? Also, was a Taco doable for a family of 4 or would you rather do full size if you were to re-do it?

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Can you help me choose? Use case: couple, 1st kid on the way, 2nd kid within 2-3Y max. Many 3-season weekends in the Southwest, as well as two or three 7-10 days trips per year. Decent offroad capability is a must (the goal is NOT to offroad, but to camp in remote places anywhere from AZ, to...

    Another Enduro SuperTourer!

    I know but that was not my question, I was interested knowing how much you paid for this particular setup. No pressure though

    It looks phenomenal! How much was the camper and install?

    Our Round-the-World adventure

    Amazing journal. Would you mind sharing average monthly or yearly cost on each continent? With so many different countries explored over such a long duration it would provide a good idea to people with similar aspirations.

    Tufport Overlander

    I was thinking exactly like you. Bought a van where I could not stand up. This thing was just for work, sleep. I like to cook outside better anyway. Guess what after one season we were done with this nightmare. You will realize keeping your head down each time you get in it, each time you feel...

    Tufport Overlander

    I disagree fully. People who want to stay outdoor all the time buy a RTT, not an expensive camper. If you buy an extensive camper, then you want to be able to spend time inside. If not why have a kitchen and everything inside? Plus, the height above the cab is so low that it’s even uncomfortable...
