    2nd Gen Sequoia as offroad rig and tow platform

    Regular My buddy just picked up a heavy tow 2022 Max. I keep meaning to eye ball his payload sticker. He doesn’t have the Platinum but its a fully optioned limited stealth package which is pretty close to the Platinum in added crap. The payload stuff is interesting. I’m pretty Sure 8 passengers...

    2nd Gen Sequoia as offroad rig and tow platform

    Ford was pretty weird from 2020 -2022 on what they put in the Expedition. My 19 has the Heavy Duty rear end that the HD F150 came with Elocker. Some I have seen have the ESLD and some got a weird posi traction I think it was super inconsistent due to parts availability and Ford priority was the...

    2nd Gen Sequoia as offroad rig and tow platform

    The Second Gen Sequoia is independent all 4 corners. Same stock ground clearance as the Expedition. More after market stuff for lift can be found for the Expedition vs the old 2nd gen Sequoia which is a tough one to find ways to modify at this point. The Toyota price definitely isn’t worth it if...

    2nd Gen Sequoia as offroad rig and tow platform

    I went from 07 4.7 Sequoia only yr it got a boost in Hp and needed premium fuel. Definitely was better than the lower HP versions. The 5.7 is definitely way better on power, but still isn’t much more than a dirt road rig and mileage is horrendous. Towing is meh. Thats why I run a late 2019...

    Any experience with Ember trailers?

    Ember owners are now seeing bolt heads on the black metal exterior trim shearing off. Some think its over torquing. But they are both rusting and shearing off. Shear strength on the screws is pretty poor to start with.

    New Bike Advice Needed

    I found the 29’s to be far superior and easier to ride at speed over the 27’s. Less effort etc. the tires are more balloon like running lower psi 20-30psi and are super grippy. Softer smoother ride also. I don’t like full suspension I just feel way to disconnected from the ground on full...

    Towing with a Tacoma.....

    Biggest issue with the ranger is its tiny fuel tank vs it’s thirsty nature when dragging around a full load / trailer. Its a training tool to get people use to 100 mile EV range?

    Bathroom or Storage?

    Look at the bath in the Winnebago hike 100. They built in shelf ledges for shelves when bathroom need is nill. Casset style toilet Small window or vent to air out wet gear definitely a solid idea

    Financing for a new van? Yikes

    Definitely the way to look at it. But if you only have $50 in your account $1000 for any tent is pretty dumb. I’ve camped with a guy that could pay cash tomorrow for 5 vans and still spend a yr cruising the Mediterranean. He slept in a Cabellas ground tent that sits in his L3 he picked up at...
