I misunderstood something. Is TrueTrac what in F150's rear diff or it's something else?

How many testicles can be cut off from the Defender? What you did to the defender wasn't it enough already? Do you guys have any shame left?

While the Tundra never quite made it to the commercial/ agricultural/ small business segment as the big three did, It did capture the hearts of overland/outdoor crowd for reason. It will be very disappointing if Toyota didn't address the needs of this segment. Toyota needs to bring all the...

yeah, isolating a cargo/crew van is must.

Chaynah.

@Pinnacle Campers Would you mind to tell us how it drove in snow/ice? Did you have to engage the snow mode?

Pinnacle Campers I'll be stupid one and ask, what's going on with front and entire windscreen? lamination?

After the very long overdue Nissan is updating the Frontier. It is an exiting news because a new player, with good old heritage, is coming to the town. It will be based on the international model, Navara, but will have more American look and options. Probably very similar to the Titan, which is...

@Tex68w I agree. Nissan is gonna be discontinued and the part will probably be somewhat hard to get, although the NV and the a titan share lot of parts. Had it been a factory built 4x4 I would have bought it. In the northeast you can still find low mileage 2wd E series around 15-18k. I am not...

If your plans involve some serious off-roading than yes the Jeep with a small trailer is the way to go. if not then there are vans that could provide you better comfort at the end of the long days. One option would be a Ford Transit AWD, put a lift kit and rear locker + good tires. It’s...

@Grassland This is what I am wondering about too. If that is the same axle as of the F150, why couldn’t one buy the same locker the F150 uses and put in the rear axle? This something the after market RV shops should advertise. There is a guy on YouTube, he has got an ecoboost Transit with an arb...

Thanks for the image. I have not noticed that up until now. And yes, the LSD is an option and you can pick it when choosing your diff ratio. The most of the people don’t know what it is so the dealers don’t bather much with it so you ether ask specifically about it to the dealer and he looks it...

T town Yes they are very rear. The most of the contractors / fleet here in the NE want fully enclosed vans. You may come across ones with rear windows but it's may not have defrosters, which you need in NE and many other places too. Anyway cargo Transits right off the dealer's parking lot are...

Yesterday I went check out Transits vans in Hudson Valley, NY. I was mostly interested in cargo vans, but this is the reason I changed my mind; I felt I was in a small cell with now windows apart Form windshield. Didn’t like how it felt inside. However, on the lot there was a rw crew wan...

@Christian P. Please let us know what’s your experience with the van and the dealer if your don’t mind. I am moving to CT next month and would love to know about the dealers in the area. @dankine have you had a chance to drive your van on forest roads in Quebec? That’s the places I am planning...

@Victorian I am very curious about this engine too. Everyone is talking about the ecoboost and how powerful it is, but the 3.5 engine is left out from the conversation. Did you test drive the both engines prior to buying one? How does the 3.5 pfdi feel, especially when you over the high passes?

@Scott Brady test drove an awd Transit. I am not sure if there is a longer version of this video, but he makes some good points here (Ford's atmospheric 3.5 engine for example).

sealface What a great tuck. May I ask how is your overall experience with the Titan? It's somewhat surprising for me that the Titan has not made its way into the overland community. It's more capable than the Tundra.

Yes, the Nissan V8 is one is best. It's such shame that even the Titan has not been a successful truck, given the fact it's amazing V8 and factory locker. I wonder if one gets an NV decides to convert to a 4X4 how hard it would be? maybe it can take the transfer case and axels from the Titan?

Has anyone driven an NV here? If so how does it drive? Is it more similar to an E250 or a Ford Transit? They are quite cheap in the Northeast.
