Last Friday I did swing by Toms Camperland in Mesa to look over their Intech trailers and a couple other brands they had in stock. They had one Explorer in stock that had dual tipouts and slideout kitchen option. Although it was a nice trailer and I could deal with the fact that it's not quite...
That's was about the same price I paid for my '05 PW I bought brand new. The good deals are out there especially at the end of the model year. I paid a little over 32K for my 2016 cab/chassis with the Aisin and 6.4L Hemi, it had end of year incentives that knocked off 9K off price.
While recovering from surgery in December I had nothing better to do than cruise the net for stuff I couldn't buy and found a few 2018 Tradesman PW's on dealership lots in Arizona. Lowest priced one was in Flagstaff at around $41K and had a couple options like sprayed in bed liner and bed lights...
Might be able to get to the North Rim, just depends on work schedule. We love to go over to the north side so much calmer than the south rim. Even though it's only about 10-15 miles away as the Condor flies it's a 4+ hour drive to get there, but most everything is a 4 hour drive away, the Grand...
Too bad Intech doesn't make your model anymore it's what I like/need. Going down to Phoenix in a few days to check out Intech trailers at Tom's Camperland looks like they have a Explore in stock as well as a couple of Pursues and Lunas. They look interesting don't know if they will work for us...
Looks like you found the answer to your problem! Of course now there will be the new questions/debate why a Chevy and not a Ford or Ram. Enjoy your new truck.
Yep this is their updated website from 9 years ago. Is it better than the original one?....Yes. Could it be way better?....Yes. Should they (and alot of other companies) do a better job with their website like making them user friendly, more info and PICTURES! and kept updated?.... Heck Yes. I...
With the truck you are planning on getting and the lenght of camper you want the FWC is the logical choice (ATC if you want to save a few $$ although the ATC is not as nice inside and lacks a few features the FWC has). The Granby will eat up half of your GVWR, occupants, gear, water and whatever...
I agree with your first 2 statements. :cool: Does not look like that new Chevy truck will threaten Ram in the looks department. :eek:
But I'am a Ram fan.
The old man was a very smart and wise person, played around with rockets in the 50's/60's at Cape Canaveral, he had what we call today street cred.
Not saying you need to change trucks. After doing some rear suspension mods/sway control etc. you might be just fine and I would do that first...
During your 180 mile test run was there any high side winds or much curvy/hilly 2 lane highways encountered? That's where a lack of "not enough truck" will rear it's ugly head. Driving a pick up truck not up to the requirements of a large hard side camper in high winds WILL get your attention as...
Kinda late to this thread don't know how I missed it.:oops: Any way my .02 cents worth on the original question is if you can afford to get the Aisin by all means do it. I have had the Aisin behind both the Cummins and now a 6.4L Hemi and just can't say enough good things about it, only thing I...
Back in 1979-82 or so I owned my one and only thumper. It was a ******** Mann framed Suzuki DR-370 with Simons Forks and the new (at the time) Fox coil over rear shocks. Handled like a dream but was a bit underpowered but also much lighter than the TT/XR-500's of it's day. For those who don't...
Yep that payload will get used up quickly just like every other truck out there. Still it has more payload than the Taco? I would also think a extra cab/6' bed to have a little more payload potential. A extra cab with clam shell doors (like the FJ Cruiser) would make access to rear of cab a...
The great thing about the pretenders is that they get tired of pretending in the same vehicle so go on to the next vehicle to pretend in. So in the next 2 to 5 years there should be a lot of good clean Gladys/Scrambles that have not been used, abused or molested for us to buy at a better price...
Wasn't really sure if he was asking you or me but he now knows why we did what we did. Like you I was trying to keep the overall lenght of the truck/camper as short as possible to facilitate ease of getting around in city traffic and the ability to get reasonably off the beaten path. I feel I...
For me a extra cab version with a 6' bed in a Ruby trim level would be the shite ?. Sure it might be a bit long to be the "perfect" wheeler for a purist but I'am sure it will get me where I want to go with all the stuff I want to bring with me, ain't happening with a 2 door JK/L. And if I drive...
