The 2.7 HDPP most definitely is not barely better than the Ranger. The F150 hdpp is basically a soft F250.

Not to mention modern diesels aren’t putting power down till 1800-2000 rpm either Sounds like he needs a Lightning EV 800ftlbs at 1rpm. ?

These guys aren’t paying 100k they are like our youtubers getting a demo rig for content creation.

Not to mention buyers should always consider the shipping costs of a product like a Chinese camper when buying. I have been involved in racing sailboats for a long time. Shipping sailboats be it new to sell boats or boats to and from events across the globe is something many sailors are pretty...

Yep thats no longer the case today. But sellers will continue to use that to justify asking prices. Also a big reason the Chinese campers all require sizable assembly is they are specifically designed to pack into containers in a manner that allows for several in a container not 1.

All my camping since the pandemic stupidity has been on private property only. It became far easier to book air bnb’s with hot tubs 2-3 weeks out vs 6-9 months battling bot nets for a campsite in a over crowded campground being treated like a cheap rental for a rave with 100 of your friends...

Your not alone. Definitely in the same boat err camper?. Most of the Indiana manufacturers have pretty much shut down to basic crews or less. Parts quality for many things out of China crashed hard when China started lock downs. Even torsion axles were shipping in with garbage swing arms, auto...

My J80 was 11mpg on a good day. I only did a couple of long trips and decided it was a pretty lousy long trip rig. I could have had my Buddy tow it with his f150 and had better mileage and range in the F150?. Here’s the best J80 Americas fuel tank.

If its windy enough to send me inside you won’t hear a modern generator.

Point being the prices have lots of room to drop as dealers caught holding stock need to make payments to keep the office lights on.

The imported 100k stuff likely have a factory price of 45k. The imported 45k stuff likely has factory price of 18-20k. Add on $3000 for container shipping and another $2000 in assembly labor bits and bobs cost. The US assembly labor cost is likely about the same as the Chinese labor build cost...

Lots of people backing out no doubt about that. Many have said plans changed and sadly walking away from their order. IE the financing was dependent on easy loan money. Lots of that for sure has dried up. Just today I have seen dealers list price at 27-28k on trailers that were $19-$22k pre...

Except the escape fb group I’m on people who were 9-11 months out are getting trailers today. They might be telling new buyers a yr to deliver early and help encourage price stability.

Running a modern inverter generator for 30 minutes while making dinner (inside) due to weather/ bugs etc isn’t going to bother anyone. I’m all about solar and EVs have them here at home. But spending $1000’s on tthe ability to power a hot plate for 15-30 minutes 4x a yr (lithium batteries and...

I would have a generator either way as backup power. My trailer doubles as an evacuation crash pad. Trailer and no generator ability would be pointless in my case. Solar and fancy electric system? Maybe If we used the trailer a bunch.

$80 induction or $500 12v? Pretty easy choice

They are all made the same and not very complicated. My $80 Amazon one has been great for several years. You don’t need to spend crazy money on it. Yep if I upgrade my camp trailer. First thing will be ripping out the stupid gas cook top and fitting a nice cutting block into the space to add...

I recall reading something a while back that Ford delayed the Ranger because they realized it needed to be hybrid/plugin/ power boost capable which lead to a big mind shift in the whole truck design. A XL Ranger power boost will become the mow and blow yard crew rig in the next few years. My...

With induction I have this same burner. Full blast is burn water mode. I use it in our house during power outages to cook dinners. 6-7 is about max for cooking or you end up with charcoal. My 3500 runs about 90% of our 2700sqft 120v house system. My kitchen induction cook top is 240v on a 50 amp...

Because after 27yrs of Toyota trucks my self you need to be completely out of touch with reality to think the Tacoma is anything but dated over priced crap at this point. Buy a 12yr old Tacoma with an updated head unit you get a better truck?
