    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    Stopping will be very noticeably long lol. Lots of former Tacoma guys finally moved to big boy trucks after realizing just how bad their ability to stop was. That and how crappy their mileage was with no power. At some point you learn there is a very good reason there are heavier larger trucks...

    At a Crossroads: Planning a Vehicle for Future Family Use

    ^ To add ns7i We found that base camping was the only way we were going to make camping trips work. Setting up for one night then tearing down and moving on sucks. On long highway trips like our Yellowstone trip we did a hotel room 10 hours in, then noon arrival in Yellowstone base camped for...

    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    Even the Expedition you could spec out the options via weight impact on the rated load capacity when I bought mine. 1700lbs on my fully loaded heavy tow pack Expedition. Which is basically a F150 station wagon. Had I skipped the glass roof and the fancy crap the wife likes I’d be up a few 100 on...

    Time for a New Truck--MPG is a Priority

    The 2.7 can be had in the heavy package now with a 35gallon tank. One friend just sold his first yr 2.7 and got the Heavy payload 2.7. His range now is crazy. He still does his big hunting trips getting 24mpg only with 35gallons its a loooong way between pit stops

    Time for a New Truck--MPG is a Priority

    Definitely the 2.7L is a great option several friends have them they only rarely occasionally tow their boats to the lake for the summer and home for the winter. Most of the time its road trips dogs in crates under the topper. 70mph and under most see 24-26mpg in mild temps. My 3.73 heavy tow...

    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    My LC even loaded to weight limit handled like complete trash. Over loaded? Pfft maybe in the Alaskan Tundra with max speeds under 50mph. No way in hell it was remotely enjoyable to drive anywhere in the lower 48 with traffic loaded over capacity. Especially with off road tires.

    Congratulations Hey your getting way ahead of your self on vehicle stuff. Since you already have a Sequoia keep it. Consider it your 4x4 Sienna with a real spare tire.

    Whoa...the new 2020+ Titan Pro-4x has serious potential...

    Not to mention that soo many people get wrapped around the axle about Toyota quality when in many cases the less costly vehicle doesn’t see enough use for quality to be a huge issue. Someone who picks up a Kia and runs it 12 yrs with little to no issues is $1000’s ahead of a person who picked up...

    Hybrid or Gas for full-time camper? MPG guesses?

    So far the larger heavier hybrids start to see bigger mileage gains in the slow speed use were the gas side is at its least efficient. So the F150 hybrid owners who do lots of short local trips which really kills gas mileage they typically see a far greater bump in average mileage with the...

    Lol nope and I aint sayn given if ya don’t know about it thats just fine???. But yeah some utubers been channeling it for yrs, it just requires skill beyond turning a key so tends to be governed by Mother Nature who doesn’t tolerate being a dummy. Rescue is also far between if not totally not an...

    The Status of Overlanding Today

    Most definitely became a super commercial marketing slogan. The biggest contributor to that push that pulled in big multi national companies latching on to the concept is the SEMA show. The whole gear up to explore the rugged west was blown up with crazy builds and Auto Maker sponsored stuff...

    Minimum EV Range Requirement for Touring Western U.S.

    Lol yeah funny enough same tech just packaged better with a charge port on the left side for left hand drive vehicles. I’ll never put 350,000 miles on mine so reliability is a non issue
