    NEW RIG: 2012 F-150 FX4

    Sounds painful. I guess a picture of the bed with a tape measure isn't enough? Good ole' insurance agencies trying to get out of paying money. Thats a 34x10.5 tire roughly, and I am assuming an LT load E tire. Its still 2" larger than stock. What was your fuel economy once you actually...

    Using an ice fishing tent for winter camping?

    Can't remember channel name but a guy up near Edmonton did some videos where he did such a thing. First tried in his backyard then did week at a time living out of it while he went to trade school. I'll see if I can find the name YouTube "Steve Wallis"

    Anyone with a Trailmarker trailer yet?

    Curious if anyone on here has purchased and received one of these trailers. If not, has anyone been to the factory and checked out these things in person?

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

    Similar trucks were retailing for mid 20s, thought I could get high teens for my truck, no dice. The new trucks are aluminum, so won't have to worry about cab corners in the future. As well my truck doesn't have an E-locker, or transmission cooler. Yeah I could add these things, but if I can...

    NEW RIG: 2012 F-150 FX4

    For the 09-14 trucks the painted front bumpers don't hold up anywhere near what the chrome ones do. As far as your brakes wearing out "so soon" that's a heavy truck with oversized tires. Didn't read every page of the thread but of you were hauling lots or towing it would run through stock...

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

    A couple years ago during a snowshoe/winter camp. Doesn't take much to stop a leveled full size on large 33s. Was up to the frame and skid plates across the board.

    Honda/ Subaru/ Toyota

    Hyundai Tucson/Kia Sportage, with the exception of the 2.4 engine, unless you have extended warranty, in which case why not the 2.4 engine, because 1-2 years old they go for peanuts. Especially volume trims. Wouldn't drive a a newish CRV because I have a pulse. Previous generation Rav4 is...

    Thoughts on the Rav4 TRD?

    I think its over priced locally, but what do you guys think about the new Rav4 TRD? Maybe competition for some Subarus? Especially ford folks who don't like CVT? Could be good for something thats a daily driver.

    *deleted.comments about trying to sell truck and that despite similar year/mileage on lots for 25K truck only went up to $16700 at wholesale auction. Was looking for 18K*

    Small efficient overlander

    What about the last north American Grand Vitara before Suzuki left NA? (Third generation) 2.4 4 cylinder was a bit under powered, but longitudinal engine, real 4x4. Hybrid body ( integral frame reinforced the unibody) I personally loved the looks of them. There was a V6 available for a few...

    Helpful specs for those interested in the 2.7 EB F150

    I've driven a few crew cab Long box trucks. They are indeed unwieldy in a city.

    Helpful specs for those interested in the 2.7 EB F150

    Im rocking a 3.7 V6 without turbos on a fullsize truck, with larger tires and stock gears. Any of the optional engines produce a euphoric amount of power in my books. Im sure the 2.7 is well beyond adequate for the average truck owner, as the average truck owner hauls air, kids, and groceries...

    hopefully a non biased opinion Transit vs sprinter

    My 2018 Transit 250 MR LWB has a U joint and not the guibo coupling. You might want to double check the van to see what it actually has. As well I believe the long term fix for ford is a new U joint but they have been having problems getting enough parts. Not 100% on that. I hav eeasy 2000#...

    Helpful specs for those interested in the 2.7 EB F150

    I'm not here to hate on the EB trucks, I'm just here to point out some specs right from Ford i wasn't expecting to see in regards to the listed capabilities of the 2.7 EB trucks. Particularly the super cab 4x4 configuration. Unless you have the 2.7 Payload Package, your truck is still limited...

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

    We were in touch with them a while ago via Facebook. They did offer to ship out new drawers, but i declined because the ones they had were the same as whats currently in the truck. They did mention that changes were being made to the system. It is my hope that the changes will address this issue...

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

    Ok, so haven't done enough leg work yet on the 2.7, but just using Fords site, and actually having looked for Payload Package 2.7 EcoBoost trucks (They almost don't exist locally) I'm not sold. Take a look at payload between a 3.3 truck and an Ecoboost truck in same configuration. I am not...

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

    I've never seen an STX here on the lot in person, ever. I've only seen XLT sports. And of course, XLT SCREW cabs with XTR package for the extra chrome nobody wants. Which is probably why that's all that's left for 19s right now lol.

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

    Todd N Natalie: The 300a trucks I've been in have the small non colour MFD in the instrument cluster. But that's something that could have varied by year for all I know. My 2014 300a has the tiny screen that's just text. *Possibly the towing package upgrades the cluster on plain 300a* I realize...

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

    You don't have to stop at a set of lights anywhere to my recollection, nor is a lane closed for 60+ KM, and the quality of the road surface is Excellent. Drive Winnipegs perimeter highway and get back to me :) Ah your a fellow Canadian! Drive the number 1 How many times do you have to stop or...
