No idea how but a local family 3 kids have a 4x4 sprinter sd length, all built up to seat 3 kids plus 2 parents and sleeps all of them. One of these days I’ll find out. Guessing two rear beds stacked?

The tow guys I’ve seen recover undamaged stuck cars usually like to have someone spin the tires lightly to prevent side loading/ drag. It was likely fine and the screeching was gravel jammed into his brake shields.

Thats why Ford defaults to numb mode every time you start up. Even my 400hp Expedition in sport mode is way too much for most people. LOL

Pipe line welder. My cousin runs a F350 standard cab and he’s right about max payload with all his gear. He runs it stock for max mileage and reliability. He has a play truck 7.4L he lifted and put giant tires on not used for work. LoL A ranger? Would be like my cousin trying to use a Honda...

Buy an el cheapo solar controller and swap it in. See if anything changes. It does sound like the controller is screwy. My load side is all through the 20amp output on the solar controller. Neg goes to a bar with all the negatives from lights etc. pos has a 15amp In-line fuse then a fuse box...

Europe distances are pretty short. The comparison in the US are what US drivers call local trips. Just as an example my mother in law finally left our house to drive home. She has a Subaru Crosstrek lives 750 miles away not a local trip. She crosses sections of the west coast with very little in...

Not to mention some of those stretches are 24hrs of road time at 70-75-80mph.

Except most of those Cab overs are pretty much zero survivors in any sort of road crash. Pretty sure modern US passenger crash ratings have some impact on the light and medium duty trucks in the US. I’d rather be in a modern Ford 550 than a VW delivery cab over truck.

High speeds you want two bow ties. The idea being the long hull / bow has wind loads taken up by the “v” two ties from each side vs wracking the hull with wind loads. Decked hulls are less of an issue than say canoe but at high out west speeds for sure single tie isn’t really easy ideal at high...

Best setup is in your case is a cab top rack and the whole thing moved forward. Get a cockpit cover.

Yeah that was finally the bullet proof 2.5 too??

The Subaru cvt front vs rear power feed / clutch starts to bind up when it gets over worked. Think really brutal snow storm aka big ******** ski day on the mountain. Nothing like first getting stuck in the parking lot because cvt won’t back the car out of the nose in outer parking spot due to one...

Any outdoor carpet and is fine. Lots of big sales going right now. Avoid any carpet sold as RV or camper carpet you’ll pay too much ? https://outdoorrugs.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8IaGBhCHARIsAGIRRYpeGbaoOctnljtkokAzArHfn1kyb-auVT2wN6oomMGeDCU-rrwv9-gaAn7KEALw_wcB

The tuned higher output 4.7 in a Sequoia at 80mph crossing Nevada and Utah would cruise at 80 but it wasn’t a leisurely cruise lol. The 4.7 in 100 got a lazy leisure tune it’s working hard to haul that brick at 80 lol. Yeah it does it but I would never call 3200-3500 down shifts to 4000rpm a...

I bet the 2022 dealer lots are a bizarre combination of chip hold back, over stock 2021’s being sold off at crazy deals and 2022’s being hidden off site for the first 1/4 of 2022. If you can wait till June -August i bet pricing gets really attractive ?

Lol the J80 and the 100 sweat the west distances especially with headwinds and climbs even when bare nakid of outside junk. LoL They are totally different beasts running 3L diesels in places where speeds are low and fuel stops are rare. The US spec LC’s only work because most people never...

The two 120v 15 amp sockets are likely sharing the 15 amp circuit so your not doing anything except likely popping the 15amp breaker.

Ditto on the power comments I had a 4runner, moved to a J80 then a 1st gen Sequoia 4.7 which is tuned more aggressively than the LC. It was ok for our big trips but needed premium “only a sequoia 06-07 thing” due to hotter factory tune. It was working hard on the big trips but did fine. But the...

So in theory big tents seem cool. In practice especially in my region you need to bring a skidsteer to scrape off a big enough tent spot to pitch it. #1 reason my big tent has only been used like 4 times in 16yrs. So consider your regions of interest and weigh the foot print size as a possible...

Yep Its only a Toyota thing. My brother was just shopping for a typical family hauler. All the Toyota dealers on “ALL” models were tacking $5000 over MSRP. He walked. His Wife is now driving a Pilot mid trim 26,000 miles on it paid $28,000. LOL People are crazy! I wouldn’t pay MSRP for ANY...
