    Anyone running a Chevy custom Trail Boss?

    Anyone here running a Chevy double cab Custom Trail Boss? They are the only truck locally that starts under 50k with the options I want. In fact you seem to be able to get them around 40k. 5.3, tow package, small lift and AT tires. Six speed, locker in the rear, and no chrome! Of course there...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    So the take down still has issues with some .357 cartridges. Extraction in particular that causes double feeds. Shooting one particular cartridge that was steel worked amazing and flawless. I just don't want to shoot solely $1 + per cartridge ammo. I ordered a non take down and will send the...

    The Escape 19

    So you can see the tank sensor leads and hose/drain spigot are quite exposed here. As well the tank drains

    Trucks with well over 4000# payload...

    I've found in the middle of nowhere, or "Canada's **************" Manitoba, what the Ford build and price app says and what trucks will sell for on the lot are quite far apart. I don't know what BC is like but here you have to look far and wide, luck out with the sales person, and know exactly what you...

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    Excellent. I have no intentions of ever buying something higher than XLT. The big screen is ridiculous. I can only imagine the glare on sunny days

    Rigid HVAC Micro DC AirCon

    12000 BTU per hour is "1 ton of cooling" While most cooling systems in homes are oversized, even poorly built homes tend to be better insulated that the typical camper. You also need to factor in internal loads like lighting, chargers, transformers/converters and of course living creatures like...

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    Is there an option without the big screen tv in the dash?

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

    Are these actually becoming a reality? These r of the few electric vehicles that look nice in my opinion. How do they sell them, like Tesla, factory direct?

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    Yeah those are thirsty, but reliable. I almost bought a reg cab Long box six liter Chevy six years ago I think was a 2014 but got out bid. Even had a space cap on it already.

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    We tend to also have stuff in and on the truck. Keep in mind the tow ratings at maximum assume your truck is empty save for the 150# driver...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    What do you drive again? That's like 11.5-12.5 Miles per US gallon roughly. I've seen gasser 6.2 (2017+)super duties haul bigger trailers and get more or less same economy so it isn't stellar. Keep in mind this is Southern Manitoba. There isn't any elevation change ?. Literally if there are...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    I was worried about cross winds with the taller trailer but with a full fresh tank she stays pretty planted so far. But I haven't had gusts worse than 40-50kph yet so we'll see, plenty of drives with the pop up with 80kph winds in the past lol. The wind was for sure south west on Sunday if...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    First trip towing the Escape 19. 20 liters per 100 into the south west wind on the way back, and 18.5 with a south wind on the way out. Thanks to the 136 liter tank we appear to still have considerable range. A balmy 36° C as everyone's world collapsed around them with broken air conditioners...

    The Escape 19

    A full engineered composite structure also comes at a cost beyond what most RVrs are willing to pay. Look at how substandard the average camper is built. They aren't worth what they are going for, but it's the top of the price point palatable for most. I'd have liked a sandwich panel like what...

    The Escape 19

    That's pretty big, and way more than my truck could handle. Bigfoot units I think we're all 8' wide as well and they had higher curb weights. Now if I was running a 17+ super duty... I need to find a way to compress images as my camera on my phone takes images far too large to upload here...

    2021 Ford F250 Tremor Adventure Rig

    The 17-19 SD FX4 on stock tires Sat higher than my 1.75" lifted F150 on "34"s. I'm actually glad they lowered the new trucks, especially non FX4 models because the height of the bed is ridiculous for work use. Especially when 5'7" tall.

    Check your tires regardless of age and mileage

    All the tires have cracking like this through the tread. This started over a year ago. The truck does sit as I'm in my work van 6 days a week most of the time, and it's sat a lot the last year as our draconian lockdowns have prevented travel.

    The Escape 19

    I've been absolutely massacred at work. You'd swear Homo sapiens had central air the entire 200,000 years they have existed the way people lose their minds. This weekend will try to take some underneath pictures. Lots of dangle stuff even with axle lift.

    Grand Cherokee WK2 Off-Road Capability and Reliability

    Interesting. Not what I was told, but that's good to hear. I don't recall what went wrong with my friends air suspension on his Overland, but the price to repair it was enough for us to get a cheaper trim sans air suspension. My biggest regret is the Altitude does not come with any skid plates...

    Any Ford guys here add select shift to a vehicle that doesn't have it? Outside of the shift level with the select shift buttons, I'll assume Forscan or As Built would be needed to activate it. I just don't know if all the wiring is already there or not.
