Now is not the time to buy literally anything. We need another van for fleet, oops 55k CAD and there is none. Look at the used market and it's as if every ad is trolling you. Raptors start at 88k CAD locally so 40k for a 7 year old used one with 160k km seems like a deal these days. Just drive...

I forget where it is on the Ford site but you can find capacities and base curb weights online for various combinations (ie different engines, cabs, beds, drive trains) which is a helpful starting point. A 300a XLT will be much closer to the listings than a 500a Lariat. IIRC when looking at...

Quick notes: Regular F150, most have 8.8 IFS front axle, super 8.8 rear solid axle. Some F150 have 9.75 rear solid axle. To have over 2200# payload you will need a 5.0 or 3.5 with very specific options/build package in a lower trim truck. Ie max payload or max towing or both. The advertised fuel...

Fiddy is a semi float rear I think. Or that new 3/4 float 9.75 but I don't even know what a 3/4 float is

Pricing out tires for my wife's WK2 and $120 per tire difference between 18s in the O.D we want and 20s. With the state of our roads alone I'm leaning towards getting 18s just for that much more sidewall

That's not your run of the mill F150 that will be a max payload package, max tow package truck and good luck seeing one in real life. 9.75 rear axle in the 150, iirc 10.5 sterling in the super duty. 8.8 IFS front dif in the fiddy and larger straight axle in the super. The super duty brakes are...

We ended up with an Escape 19. I have a thread in the retail trailer sections somewhere.

The non take down cycles way better. It took six kinds of ammo without issue, and only had trouble feeding the shortest of the .38 rounds. Which happened to be blazer FMJ target/Plinker rounds. Three types of .357 ranging from SJHP to hard nose lead, a boring LRD .38, an FMJ .38 and a .38+ P...

Who's taking their truck through an automatic car wash tho?

I'm running RCI in aluminum and I'm happy with them. No rust! Lightweight!

For the backlog and supply chain issues to get better

Stock wheels are +50 or something nuts now IIRC. Is the rubbing because the wheels are out further from the axles? Edit: online is still showing +44 as OEM offset for the 2021s but I feel like McCarthy ended up with fitment issues using same rims and tires from his 19 and them rubbing on his 21...

The factory wheel offset is even more positive than the prior generations by something like 6MM. What's the offset of the new wheels? I'd go to the 285/70R18 as that's still larger than 33". For example it's bigger than a 285/70R17 which many people would call a 33, but isn't. A 275/70R18 would...

I'm guessing 2024 or later.

Things are going to get worse before they get better judging by how the copper/aluminium/steel/microchip industries are faring. This is absolute insanity for a 301A Supercab with 2.7 PP

Weight distribution probably makes a big difference. On a gentle incline approach to a roadway I went to drive up and turn right onto the road and even with LSD in 2WD truck just spun and slowly slid sideways rather than move forward in any way. My truck isn't unloaded in the back, but far more...

In deep fresh snow the KO2s have been good. On ice and hard pack polished stuff not at all. Superior to the Hankook Dynapro OEM tire that came on my truck, but I'm considering a true set of winters to run 4-5 months of the year.

And good skid plates! I went with RCI full aluminum package, but I don't think they support the GM market at all. A full front, trans, transfer case and fuel tank package is great insurance. With some bigger tires and slight lift, and armor, you can get a lot of places with less stress than...

I'm running a similar sized truck with similar level and tire size. I have high centered before and also buried the truck deep enough in snow to have to shovel out. I would say that the vast majority of the time it's been more than adequate.

Mission Overland trailers are designed or built by the original owner of Off-grid. I don't recall the story but he sold to a venture capitalist that also owns Escape as mentioned.
