Probably because you can squeeze a 35 in the stock location IIRC. I have my admittedly small "34" BFG ko2 in there with plenty of room to spare.

And Titan pro4x started in the 60s locally last I looked. I'm a 40k when new kind of guy. But that's central Canada for you. Nothing available and arms and legs if it is.

I don't think it looks too bad. Real world fuel economy unladen will hopefully be far better than the previous gen. And it gives something more modern and powerful than the Tacoma. And an NA engine for those folks who just can't handle the idea of a turbo 4 behind their mid size.

I'd say an F250 with 6.2 and 4.30 gears. But if the 6 liter Chevy's are priced well then giv'r. Reliability excites me, especially because I can't afford big HP lol. Don't have tons of experience with either personally, but the F250 was in the running for a fleet truck. Friends electrical...

Finally hand calculated the fuel consumption. The last trip was 19.76 liters per 100 km. I haven't weighed the trailer but safely assume at least 4500#. Plus 500# minimum in/on the truck if you include the weight of the tires compared to stock. The trip before was similar, but that tank had some...

Heck they could just add 3 gears to the 4Runner. Isn't it still using a 5 auto?

Are you even overlanding if you don't have an ice maker??

We do. A 5 cu ft absorption fridge. It's a game changer! That's one less 55# cooler to lift on 4-5 day trips. All of the food fits in the fridge and all the drinks go in the cooler. We have a week long trip and my close friend and his wife and his two girls, my "nieces" are tent camping with us...

3-4 days of ice and cold is superior to either of my prior Coleman's. We're happy for what it is, but unless your ice to item ratio favors the ice, you can't really get more than 4-5 days out of even the rotomolds when you need to access it frequently.

Just towed our Escape 19 from Loserpeg to Tulabi Falls and back. 19.8 liters per 100km. Estimating trailer at 4600# with full fresh tank and gear. Mini non scientific review of the Woods rotomold cooler that was half the price of a Yeti: Brought cooler from garage into basement Tuesday night...

There are a few cupboard doors that are alone. The only safety locks I am familiar with lock to the adjacent cupboard door. But I unfortunately don't have kids so am not on the up and up for current lock offerings.

It's specifically the cupboard we keep the bread and chips etc. We call it the Carb Cupboard.

I've noted single speed transfer case in Silverado custom and that u need trail boss to get low range. I guess that few people use their truck as a truck. I meant XL/XLT trims for ford NON auto 4WD having actual locking transfer cases. Clutch packs in a transfer case on an off-road package of...

Honestly I forget. I believe it was just choose for my model year of F150. They have faded on the sides over the years but I've had them for six years. Fit OK and seem durable enough. Have provisions for side air bags.

What about FIA?

So do lower trims without "auto" still lock up in 4hi and 4lo????? Because if not, I guess I'm back to reading up on other manufacturers. Edit* What is even the purpose of an off-road package with a center dif that doesn't even mechanically lock up?????? Just checked all dealers within 100kms...

I'd say the Transit 250-350 would be good for the payload box, the driveability on road box, and the fact it's a Euro platform brought to NA so most of the vehicle is familiar and available in Europe. The van is absolutely horrible as a 2WD for terrain or snow. Things I can do in 2WD in my F150...

The build and price tool is a bit pointless, with the fact that many trucks you build don't exist in a 500 mile radius or in your country or at all. And that you can't factory order past a certain date, and the massive rebates don't apply until after that date.

I'd hazard a guess the 3.3 is slightly less reliable than the 3.7 it replaced because of direct injection, but should otherwise be solid. Honestly with the 10 speed behind it now, and select shift, it will probably do what I need, but just barely.
