    Crew cab long bed (8ft) for overlanding??? Is this viable or realistic?

    What trim?? I just built an XLT cclb 4x4 with options I'd choose and am just over $65k not including my upfit. My 2018 Transit 250 was $40600 or something before upfit which has a lot to do with it being purchased instead of a super duty.

    Ford 150 3.5L Ecoboost vs Ram 1500 3.0 Ecodiesel?

    The coyote, despite pretty much being a mod motor, doesn't seem to have as many issues until you get to oil consumption in the 2018+ ones I think. Whenever they went to direct injection. The 2.7 seems to be holding up best outside of those couple years of defective engines I wanna say 2016 to...

    Ford 150 3.5L Ecoboost vs Ram 1500 3.0 Ecodiesel?

    I don't get how they keep screwing up cam phasers. They've been doing it since the modular V8s.

    Cooler mods: Has anyone done the foam mod?

    I guess we'll never know what fridge Man ended up with. Or how a guy can eat steak every day for that matter. I don't get why the language is still an Issue with the swear filter that's on now. You can't even type the nickname for Richard without it being censored.

    2021 F150 Towing Capacity Increase on some models

    With so many buried features I see why the trucks are so overpriced. The hardware is installed regardless of profit margins.

    2016 USSV Ford F450 Rhino GX $229K Urban Assault Vehicle

    Why would you even want that if it's not armored?

    In search of new adventure vehicle for family of 4 and a couple of pups.

    Come to Canada. I paid $45k for my medium roof 2wd almost 3 years ago. A low roof Transit would handle the wind better, and they drive more car like than the old E series. They top out pretty low in towing due to unibody construction (is my guess) as the drivetrain is essentially F150 (not...

    MAXTRAX Extremes fail in the snow

    Describe the snow type and depth of you can I've used regular max Trax twice to get an F150 out of snow and they worked great. It wasn't the crystalized sand like snow though. I could see that being trouble if deep enough and the board being angled

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    I'd like to see the non toy hauler version when it's made. Too much for my truck and too large but otherwise an interesting concept and good R value which helps both hot and cold weather. Plus it looks cool, and isn't that the most important part?

    ICECO JP40 external temp test with thermal imagery

    Heat travels from high to low. The insulation blanket slows heat gain. It does not slow the escape of "cold"

    I Still Like Pushrods, They're Still Viable

    GM made modern pushrod engines. They even had cam phasing on later ones iirc. Not the same thing as an old school air cooled pushrod motor but the concept isn't dead. Ford's new Godzilla 7.3 gas V8 is pushrod. Sometimes the solution really is just more displacement.

    Birthday gun for myself.

    The .357 is pretty tame in my 12" barrel .38 is like shooting .22 LR and even plus P just sounds louder

    Ranger - pros/cons considering maintenance/reliability

    If you drive so much why don't you go find a used 2wd XL or 300a XLT F150 that's aluminum with the 3.5 or 3.3 cyclone? (2015-2020) Nobody wants those because everyone thinks they need more power for all the things they don't tow because it's a pissing match for 80% of truck owners out there...

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

    Omg regular is $4.76 a US gallon now I'm going to have to put the 87 tune back on. Good thing we can't leave the province on punishment of imprisonment and fines far larger than the price of gas #freedom #democracy

    2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 "Build"

    So far so good. Like that's it's still going to be able to do the typical truck stuff when you aren't sleeping in it.

    Ride height help

    I'd be selling the rims for a set with more positive offset.

    Ride height help

    4" lift and larger are subframe drop lift kits. The front cross member is dropped to lower the front differential so the angle is taken off the CVs. Then taller knuckles are used to keep the UCAs in their proper travel range. It's expensive both in parts and labour. If you don't go that route...

    Ride height help

    The shocks can lift it that high but it will increase wear on ball joints and CVs unless it spends most time on the street. The more a suspension fully cycles under load when lifted that high, the more wear. The sweet spot is 1.75-2".

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

    So 60 cents a gallon LESS for premium than we pay for regular. Woo
