    Anyone familiar with Nokian Outpost A/T's?

    These came up in a thread on this subforum earlier but I can't for the life of me remember the name of the thread.

    When to trade up? The economics of "new" vs "old"

    If I could go back to 2014 knowing now what I didn't then, I probably wouldn't have to worry.

    When to trade up? The economics of "new" vs "old"

    I'm in a similar spot with my 2014 but under 100k. Just routine maintenance (brakes, fluids, plugs)and new rear springs. But it's a losing battle with rust. Do I sell it now while it's worth something and hope next spring trucks have come down in price/better availability? Or do I run it until...

    F150 3.5L Ecoboost HDPP vs SuperDuty

    That's pretty good fuel economy in my books when towing. 110kph? If I dog it at 90-100 I could probably see 16l/100. If it isn't windy and I'm doing 110 I'm around 18l/100. The extra gears and that your power band is lower and the torque on tap earlier with the EB will help and it has a taller...

    F150 3.5L Ecoboost HDPP vs SuperDuty

    My 14 F150 3.7 on "34s" towing our Escape 19 trailer that weighs under 5000# and a slight incline and delightful head wind has me getting 9.8 MPG whatever 23.5 l/100 works out to Unloaded with just my shell and nothing on the roof rack I can see 19 MPG. Can't cheat physics. Load up an Ecoboost...

    Full size wheelbase

    Yeah break over is the biggest issue. I have RCI 1/4" aluminum skid plates and it's a good thing. That's the second hit I've taken there. I can't imagine an even longer wheelbase than 145 without significantly larger tires

    Full size wheelbase

    F150 Supercab 6.5' bed is 145" wheelbase. Supercrew 5.5' bed is the same. I seldom need to drive people longer than a couple hours sitting in the back of my Supercab, which has way more room than an extended cab Tacoma. How tall are your family members and friends who tag along? The supercrew...

    How are you guys handling yourselves in strange circumstances off the grid?

    I live in a miserable dumpster of a city that's isolated from any other large urban centers. The farther you go from this cess pool, the safer you are. It's no guarantee of course, but one of the reasons I like camping and being outdoors away from the only major city in my province. I've been...

    Rivian R1T (pickup) vs. R1S (SUV) for "overlanding"

    I really hope real people start getting these things and soon so we can see how they hold up in the real world. Especially with long weekend camping adventures etc.

    Arkto campers

    I like this one. Layout much nicer than a taxa mantis. Toilet, lots of water, fridge, regular propane tank. Getting to be a real expensive hobby, with the price for all these trailers though.

    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    A little late since.you went with a heavy duty truck. And, it's a hybrid F150 and not a Tundra, but I think the two are similar enough to draw some vague conclusions. Friend and associate has an F150 Power boost with crew cab and 6.5 bed with a contractor grade aluminum topper with roof rack...

    Anyone tow the maximum "3500" lbs with a 4 door Bronco yet? If so, how did it do?

    Hmm yeah that gasser fuel economy isn't stellar. I'll look into the cycles they use for the WLTP. Thanks!

    Ford new, smaller EV Truck coming, F150 BRO Raptor

    My issue here are #1 no pro in Canada, high 80s for ER XLT #2 I can't use a CCSB for work #3 they don't exist/aren't available regardless if you have 100k lying around. The Transit EV was so close, but 10x mile range in best case scenario stops me from picking up cabin country jobs. 170km ish...

    Small Toy Hauler?

    It's super disappointing the price point of the mainstream stuff Locally R-POD was 25, 26, then 29k etc and in the USA at the time I had 25 as the low price, I was seeing them as low as 14k which is a lot more reasonable for the quality. Mass production and scale for motor vehicles does not at...
