Again depends on your use. I was realistic and need to watch weight as the 3.7 and stock gears don't pin you to the back of the seat I ran their steel skids on my Ranger and actually rock crawler that truck If you routinely do stuff where it will scrap I'd go steel. No way around it really.

Friend has my truck this week and should be done by the weekend. It's nice to have friends willing to work on your stuff in the evening. A bottle of bourbon will accompany the money I'll bring. MAF cleaned, brake fluid changed, front end and IWE/vacuum system checked. Spark plugs changed. It...

Skids 100% So many exposed crippling expensive stuff. Like the five foot long plastic gas tank. The transmission pan, transfer case. I went with 1/4" aluminum from RCI as it's not a rock crawler. High center myself on frozen gravel under snow one winter and dented the skid rather than the...

Ford also sprays their bed liner over painted beds. It apparently comes off fairly easy. I guess trucks that get it as factory option just get sent down a line at the end and get the liner sprayed on? Edit: Also let's see pics with the suspension upgrade!

gas is $1.50 a liter right now where I live and it might be $1.80 later this year But I still need to tow a 5000# trailer and also haul 800# of crap at the same time, so I've just accepted the fact I'm going to hemorrhage money while doing it. Especially while on 33" ATs

Surprisingly half the supercab trucks I've seen locally (an entire dozen) that are 2.7 have the PP. The tow package and e locker are included in the package so it's actually a deal for me. $2200 for the 2.7, tow package, e locker. It's a good deal here.

So at the price point this thing is going to be at, what's the appeal compared to a gas F250 crew cab or Ram equivalent for less money? It's slightly smaller? Or because it's an SUV?

I find the space and weight of jumper cables to be minimal and have no plans to remove mine when I get a booster pack. That being said, the booster pack can always be with you, and another vehicle might not, nor can it necessarily get close enough to reach with cables.

Ugh, 87 octane is $1.499 a liter now :( That's like $5.66 a gallon roughly. If there was another 80-100km range on an E Transit it would really start looking appealing right now

Is there play in the OEM UCAs? A Billy 5100 at 1.75" has been on my truck for 5 years, and my original factory UCAs are still ok.

I do have a Viair compressor in the truck. The tires on the trailer are a year old. If we get lots of sun I'm not too worried, if it's cloudy for a week straight then we have trouble.

Well the trailer has been packed away in my friends Quonset since October. (Unrelated fact, there is also a band called Since October) We are pulling the yet to be named Escape 19 from this dumpster of a city all the way to Newfoundland come late August! (Involves a ferry unless the Atlantic...

I'm one of those dweebs that sees, upon closer inspection, that your truck is not stock. It's subtle. I like it! Also liking whitewalls out. Don't see much of that.

Oh sorry I missed that he needed larger than 5.5 bed it wasn't in the original post. Anyone offering a crew cab Long bed in only a half ton, it's usually the heaviest configuration available. Is GM offering that combo even anymore? I didn't think Ram was.

My wife's old 97 civic the block heater shorted to the block I guess, it would trip the GFI about a second after being plugged in. Super convenient when it was -30. Didn't start well without the block heater in that weather. And let's be honest, if you are going to hear about somebody...

Look at all those character marks on the fenders. How many people per vehicle? Sounds like it was a good time!

How many 3.3 on Fuelly are work trucks though? Associates 2.7 is around 15-16 MPG in fleet kit and duty. Plus nobody posts axle ratio or other important info. Half the trucks I click on are just the default 50/50 city/highway pie chart.

If around town/suburb non commuter truck and not often hauling I would personally go 3.3 NA or 2.7 F150. And go low trim to keep weight down and don't add unnecessary weight. Now to be fair my 3.7 NA is not at all good on fuel, but I've never driven it unladen. From day one on stock tires I had...

Thanks for measuring! My next tires are going to have to be a common size. I really want 255/80R17s but it's not super common, so kind of left with 285/70R17 or 275/70R18. How did that Barricade raptor grille hold up while you had it? Would you consider a different leaf pack rather than air...

That was a long read but it was interesting. I personally don't think pure electric vehicles for everyone will be the answer, nor viable in the near future. But there are plenty of places electric vehicles work, and one day in the near future one of our vehicles will be full electric. Until Ford...
