Have people chiming in on this new motor test driven the 7.3 already? What power trains and vehicles have people been driving where a 6.2 in the aluminium super duty is "under powered"?? (And I mean gassers, not diesel) And while hauling a towing are different things, guys with NA gasser V8S...

So a Chevrolet Ridgeline?

Try tuning it? 6.0 is notoriously thirsty, but they are also a solid, reliable engine, or so guys running them in fleet tell me.

Go narrower tires, and newer gassers have 2+ more gears. Though when towing, unless it's flat and not windy, you won't be in 6th much. I know you aren't interested in a V6, but my 3.7l 14 F150 SCAB on "34s" (33s) 3.73 gears with 1000# in truck towing a 2500# pop up camper gets 17-19 l/100 or...

Wonder if this will be offered in Canada? Sure it will cost 2500$ here though.

We bought my wife an Altitude package WK2 brand new this summer. 3.6, 8 speed, and coil suspension, not air ride. In the Rams there have been problems in cold climates with the air suspension, resulting in failure of the system. A friend of mine had a 2012 or 13 Overland and also had trouble...

Considering how old the platform is, it still performs pretty well. I've wondered why they dropped the Xterra but kept the Frontier so much longer. (By the time so could afford a new Xterra Pro-4X, they were discontinued) I was disappointed how the Pathfinder evolved into the ugly crossover it...

im looking forward to seeing this truck and camper when you get it!

Without trying to derail thread too much, we just bought my wife a 2019 Grand Cherokee with 3.6 and the 8 speed. Nothing sluggish about it. I also just drove my 2014 F150 with 3.7 NA motor on 3" larger than OEM tires, on stock gears, with 1000# in the truck towing a 2500# pop up trailer up...

Wow that last render looks like a Subaru Baja mixed with an Avalanche. Unless they seriously drop some curb weight compared to the Ram, I'd just buy a Pentastar Ram.

This^^ Get 4.30 from factory and give it a try first.

GM lives to let down its die hard fans. If something with that name comes back, it will be a Blazer clone with more bling, if anything. A crew cab Canyon is probably as close as you will get.

Is there a go to list for building a poor man Yeti? At this point, with what little more reading ive had a chance to do, Im looking for a portable power pack that can: a) recharge iphone/onePlus phones and other USB devices like flashlights b)be recharged by shore power aka 120V AC, as well as...

How much of a PITA is the awning and sunroom to set up? That was the other no go, outside of layout of the 14XLP, when the wife and I were looking years back.

How firm/flexible are they?

Nice build! You'll appreciate the RCI skids. Mine already saved the transmission. How are you liking the overheat storage bins?

I like the engine. I bought a 2018 Ford Transit with the same 3.7, it just had less jam in this platform. Only 98XXX km on this guy. Cab corners will have to be replaced before engine gives me trouble. If the 3.7 was in the new aluminium trucks I'd have swapped already. I'm considering the 3.3...

Indeed there is a max payload and max tow package. However to achieve these figures you need to select particulardrivetrain/length/powertrain/configuration packages. Off the top of my head, max payload would be a 5.0 with 3.73 rear end, regular cab Long box, but I don't remember exactly. You...

Floor liners: Rugged Ridge Seat covers: Fia. Ive had for 5 years on my truck, 4 in work duty. Color is fading now, but fit decent and saved my seats from a couple stains. Tires: dont want to lift or level? LT275/70R18. Maybe you can find Super Duty take off tires for dirt cheap at a local...

Besides this trip to BC, which is a beautiful province, my favorite outing with this truck was our last winter camp out. The truck could use a locker, and judging by the axle wrap it has now, once a locker is in place, it would need traction bars. The 3" rear blocks were probably a bad idea, but...
