Speaking of overweight, how's that Taco Truckhouse Camper getting along? lol

I kinda thought the Expedition Forum here was the de facto "potential" owners group for these vehicles. That's how I used it when I was researching. Howard - is the ECOG independent and run by the owners or is it hosted/paid for/intertwined with EC? I got the sense it was the latter -...

Without access to said company's detailed financial statements, intimate knowledge of their production schedule and personnel and direct experience with their after-sale support (which some current owners could attest to but would be anecdotal) - - any commentary on your areas of inquiry is...

Yeah. It’s a shame the owners didn’t create and join an independent owners forum to store all that valuable information. That would have been smart.

Federal Vanlife Loan Forgiveness Program?

I feel really bad for the people that have put down money - likely in some cases a LOT of money- that will likely never get the money or the vehicle. That could mean financial ruin for some people. Hoping for a good outcome for them.

Well, on that basis my truck should have been a $1 million or more. Damn I missed out!

Congrats.

I have used the 1lb tanks as backup and primary fuel for a million different adventures over the years. One thing I've noticed that you might consider is that the quality of the bottles - and specifically the valves- has gone down significantly. It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer -...

Haha, true. It's similar to knowing someone is an A$$hole when they comment about it early in the conversation. 😬

Trust me, coming soon to a field/wilderness near you unless something changes. Cherish it while you can.

Unfortunately that sounds tame compared to what I see on a daily/weekly basis.

Sadly, times haven't changed much. Only now the ever-increasing "hunters" have a SxS they can drive all across the roadless landscape and wilderness, roads they can drive down looking to shoot stuff out the window so they can post it on the 'gram and a growing cadre of Social Media misfits that...

Just dropping in to mention that the one of the reasons so many people sell their rigs after 2 years is due to falling for marketing like "TurnKey Expedition Vehicle". If you buy one of these (and actually use it) and haven't figured out that "TurnKey" is a euphemism for "TurnWrench" then you...

I have never understood the bright color obsession. I swear to god, we would have paid double for our truck to make it invisible.

No problems doesn't mean not overweight. From a practical matter both of those end up being overweight (if even though they fudge and make claims to the contrary as was pointed out already up thread) It's fine if people want to run around in a truck over GVWR - and this is a hell of a better...

So only mildly overweight for the platform...

There is at least some truth to the old adage: "Front winches are for getting other people out, rear winches are for getting yourself out. "
