    F150 with the Heavy Duty Payload Package?

    Sometimes it works out in our favour, sometimes it doesn't. I'd say more often than not it doesn't work out as well for us in the vast wilds of Canuckistan

    2021 F150 Spy shots. Is Ford going back to '09-'14?

    Front end kind of looks like updated super duty to me. The current taillight and the ones in the spy shots both remind me of 09-14. Except the back up lights aren't useless on them like they are on the 09-14.

    Do you need the extra 1.5" to fit the tires you want to run?

    I haven't been in a crawling situation yet. Deep snow it hasn't been a problem, most trails I run are 4HI stuff. The engine is lacking in low end torque. Canned tune helps with that somewhat. It's very flat where I live, so highways around here, hasn't been an issue, I pull my 2500# camper at...

    Have looked at Mantis. Wife wasn't thrilled but I liked it, until I hear about durability issues when used on rough roads. Frame issues, body panel issues. And leaks on the early Mantis where the pop up roof latches. The concept is neat. I think of they beefed up the construction some they could...

    2013 F150 FX4 Family Hauler

    I thought ford had a TSB about the intercooler years ago, that was basically drill a hole in it to drain condensation. On a long highway drive with low load you would get condensation and then punch it to pass and the water gets sucked in. The guys telling you to tune first/ at same time as...

    KWJohnston you can check out my build-ish thread, it's kind of rambly though. "The full size mid size" A lot of things I went budget minded, but not "cheap" if you know what I mean? Like, the Bilstein cost more than spacers, but perform better, and are way cheaper than an Icon or King strut or...

    A proper bed rack will support more weight than 90% of fiberglass toppers and most aluminum commercial grade toppers. Most builds are crew cabs because most full size trucks sold are crew cabs. They are the modern sedan. I prefer the increase in bed space with my SCAB, but if I regularly had...

    $46,000 Dollar Overland Trailer?

    We have been spoiled by the economy of scale the automotive industry gives us I bought my truck for $32000 basically in 2014. It has a quad cam variable valve timing engine, a transmission, 4x4, electrical system etc. When you see what you can buy for $32000 for a trailer or camper, it's easy...

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

    East of Lac Du Bonnet, a little east of the junction of highway 313 and 315. Yeah the difference between -20 and -30 is significant. :(

    No. Black series never tickled my fancy. Heavy, expensive and full of stuff I don't want. Don't seem to be built very well either. Perhaps a severely reduced in price unit might work but I'd have to see the price point to bring in a knock off.

    I'm in the HVAC industry, so I assure you I understand. When I see pricing for some mass produced RV stuff (and the RV market is very monopolized, an oligopoly at best) I think to myself "Jesus a commercial grade through the wall package unit is cheaper than that RV roof Mount that is loud and...

    2023 Ford Raptor- Continuation

    Never heard of them putting any enhanced traction in the front differential except for the Raptors. It never mentioned anything in the online builder, especially not in the description for the FX4 package.

    2017 Ford F150 (not too crazy and not too sparse = just right)

    You have to run different back spacing than stock for the UCA, correct?

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

    Sold the 3.25" blocks and my Decked drawers to a friend of mine to use on his fleet truck. Also put a new battery in, but went with some generic wholesale battery rather than interstate. Also just rolled over 100,000km this weekend. I just got back from another backcountry winter camp out. Nice...

    Typically the heater is only used for a short while on really cold mornings so my wife can get out of bed and get dressed. We don't use it to keep a minimum temperature in the camper. Even though an Escape or Trailmarker is more insulated than our pop up, the furnaces are not efficient. As far...
