    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    Sorry, it was a SuperCrew. You are lucky to have that 1900#! I wish the dealers would show payload sticker with all the other pics online. Would be much easier to shop than opening every door on the lot. :rolleyes:

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    I don't think they've had the HDPP option for several years. My lightly optioned SC XLT was only 1300#. I don't think you'll find many 4X4 SCs on dealer lots with 2000# payload.

    Scout camper feel too heavy?

    I might have missed it, maybe in another thread, but how much over payload are you? Would you suggest a number of pounds that is OK or would you use a percentage?

    Scout camper feel too heavy?

    One thing I don't understand about overloading a truck is the "why." There are plenty of appropriate vehicles for any size camper. :unsure:

    Scout camper feel too heavy?

    It's not just Tacomas. A guy on a Frontier forum was showing off his 1500# pop up. Again, payload about 1100#.:rolleyes:

    3rd Gen Silverado HD rear axles differences 2500/3500

    Should be adequate for the rated payload of a 2500.

    Resources for Truck Campers ?

    East of the Mississippi you are going to be on state or national forest roads. Popular routes are well documented on YouTube if you can stand the bubba bro presentation. Carry a battery operated pole saw in case you get stuck where you can't turn around.

    2024 F150

    You might go to a dealer and look underneath one with the FX4 pkg. If those "skid plates" cover what concerns you it should be easy to add them to your truck.

    Thoughts for an Overlander in today's market? Suggestions?

    Yes, I got some clamp on extensions that gave a good view on the road. The mirror differences confused me when I was trying to back up the trailer so not completely satisfactory. If I keep the combo I may put a camera at the back of the trailer with a constant rear view.

    Thoughts for an Overlander in today's market? Suggestions?

    I have a 2022 Frontier that I use to pull a small Casita travel trailer. In the midst of COVID I found myself needing a new tow vehicle and Frontiers were actually available. The pluses are a strong naturally aspirated V6, comfortable cabin and a useful tow mode. Negatives are low payload and...

    Wife needs car: Highlander vs. 4Runner vs Sequoia vs Landcruiser, rough differences info?

    I think it will be awhile before you can just go to a dealer and pick out a new 4Runner or LC.

    Will the Honda/Nissan Possible Merger Save the Frontier and/or Titan?

    They have said the brands will retain their separate identities. If they prune Nissan my guess is some of the overlapping small "clown" SUVs. IIRC Nissan said they were going to use the Titan factory space in MS for some other product. Titan is done and gone. Frontier seems different enough...

    Better Buy Your New Rig Before the Tariffs Kick In 🤑

    Jane, my point was that current 2-3% inflation isn't "runaway" but some stupid policy could change that in a hurry. Hopefully better minds will prevail.

    The COVID inflation has been over for awhile now.
