I don't doubt it with the considerable weight over the rearend and the extra wide contact patch afforded by the DRW setup. However, the place where the camper would likely see the most use is surf fishing/beach camping at a beach where 4WD is a requirement (Island Beach State Park, NJ-2WD...

I tried some searching on this but all I came up with were a few folks who were lucky enough to find one of the super-rare factory 4x4 Toyota motorhomes. This one is for sale by me: It's an '87 with 41K original miles. The Mini-Cruiser shell was built by a company called RBR-they're not...

I just borrowed this Kelty (Pathfinder?) from my neighbor-his son outgrew it (weight limit is 40lbs) and my daughter is only 5 months old so we'll get some use out of it. I'll post my impressions as she should be ready for it by April or May:

Well it finally arrived-aside from two small issues with the dealer that have been resolved everything is good! We're very much looking forward to some light off-roading to some of our favorite spots in the Spring and Summer. More pics to come...

All good points thanks. A 7.3L CC 4x4 Manual 450/550 is the goal, but as you said they are tough to find. I suppose I could do a manual swap which shouldn't be that hard if I could find the transmission. The 6.0Ls don't scare me as much as they used to-even though I'm a dyed-in-the-wool 7.3L...

Last week I sold my F-350 Regular Cab :( because it really didn't fit my growing family. In the meantime we're upgrading to a 4WD Kia Borrego-it will be a good way to move the whole family around and do some mild overlanding until I can find an F-450 or 550 Crew Cab to use as a custom camper...

I'm chomping at the bit to get my new (to me) Borrego here-we ended up buying long distance because we found a really good price online. Now it's just endless paperwork and hoop jumping to get the thing here. As for Hyundai vs. Kia I would forget Hyundai-AFAIK everything they've ever offered...

That sounds interesting! I can only imagine what kinds of overlanding opportunities there are in western part of China... Well the truck (2003 F-350) has been sold :( but a new chapter begins... I should be posting pictures of the new Borrego in about two weeks. I hated to get rid of my 7.3L...

LOL...when I first searched "Borrego" on this site I saw all of the Anza Borrego threads and thought WOW! Lots of Borrego owners here! :p That explanation does make sense since the nameplate used outside of North America is "Mohave." In any event, hopefully I'll be posting pics of ours at...

LOL...I've read that it's supposed to mean "Big Horned Sheep." Guess someone was stretching the truth a little on that one :p It actually did. I've come across a few in my search-it's got some pretty impressive numbers (upwards of 300 HP I believe and a nice torque figure), comes with a six...

Sure-I agree. I think that the Borrego could have been a more serious off-road vehicle had they developed it more. In the meantime, it will suit our needs and do what we need it to do. With a good set of ATs (or maybe even MTs) I'm very interested to see what it can do. Regardless, it's not...

Yes, the only way to get the balance of the warranty is to buy CPO through a dealer-it's a money maker for the dealers for sure, but it's good peace of mind. Most vehicles I've looked at only have about 25K miles on them, so there's 35K left on the 5 year/60K bumper to bumper (covers everything...

I could only find one other thread on the Kia Borrego that started in 2008 just as it was introduced that petered out after news of its early demise broke. We are probably going to be purchasing one by the end of the month. As someone else here pointed out, resale values took a big hit because...

$10K OBO TAKES IT ALL-MAKE ME AN OFFER!!! If not it goes for trade by the end of the month-gotta get the wife in a decent car somehow... 2003 F350 Regular Cab XL (Work package) 7.3L bone stock SRW 4x4 A/T Manual hubs 195,000 miles Ice cold AC (recently recharged/seals replaced/105 orifice...

NICE! Thanks for posting. With the distance from the hitch itself you could probably even open the swing up door on the Sorento with a load on! That's definitely going on my list along with this: http://www.surcoinc.com/R-BR_SR5.html I like the crate idea too-I'll have to test it out. The...

It's a shame-I actually went to a dealership to look at a 2009 in person and of course I got swarmed by salesguys trying to steer me to the 2011-2012 models. When I started rattling off facts about the 1st generation models (part time 4WD, low range, 5000lb towing capacity, body on frame...

My wife and I are looking for a Kia Sorento for her DD/our family vehicle. Right now it will mostly get her to work and get all four of us (me, her, our two month old, and the dog) to grandma's. This Christmas we'll be doing it in her Toyota Corolla-50 miles north to grandma number 1 on...

Holy hell-I just Googled them! :Wow1: $200 apiece was a WAG-I had no idea I was $75 to $100 low... I've also never bought tires larger than 31" either-I was flirting with the idea of putting 35s on my Toyota hunting buggy-maybe I should rethink that.

I'm sure they have the data somewhere, but they're not sharing it-I tried. I called the dealer, explained the situation, asked if there was another number I could call, etc... I guess the other problem is that there are so many different kinds of carseats, and there's no way to account for...

I'm late to the party on this one but to get back to the OPs point, it is a little ridiculous when you see a landscaper, contractor, etc...with an F-350 jacked up 6" on 38" Super Swampers with stacks as a "work truck." It must be nice to claim tires that are $200 apiece that wear out in 20K...
