Anyone have a flatbed FWC around Portland?

[_Aaron_]

I'm hoping someone around Portland has a flatbed FWC that they'd be willing to show me. Anyone?

I checked out some FWC models last weekend and I liked them more than I thought I would. So now I'm toying with the idea of going from my 4Runner w/ RTT to a Tacoma and FWC.

The versatility of a "normal" FWC would be nice, but I'm intrigued by the added space and layout of a flatbed FWC.

Thanks in advance!

Call Jeff at American RV. He has had a lot of deliveries, there was a flatbed grandby last time I was there.

I have a Side Dinette Hawk you are welcome to check out...though like Brian says, Jeff may be your best bet for seeing a flatbed. I would assume if you like a normal Hawk or Grandby, you will love the Flatbed version!

Second the American RV suggestion. I know they had a flatbed coming in about this time.

Was at American RV this weekend; that's where I got more interested in FWCs. Jeff said he just moved a flatbed, so I didn't get a chance to see one.

Turns out that this request is probably moot. I sat in a '16 Taco today and unfortunately it doesn't fit me very well. At 6'3" I'm pretty particular about the height of a windshield and I found the Tacoma's too short / limiting. (Boo.) I much prefer the vista from my 4Runner.

Thanks for the suggestions and help, all. Frosty_1, if I see a Hawk around town I'll flag you down!

Aaron,

I too like the Tacoma and Tundra platform, but bought my Chevy 2500HD LTZ for about the same price(or perhaps cheaper) than a new Tundra. My previous rig was a Tundra/Hawk shell combo. The 2500HD doesn't know the Hawk is on. Rides great, plus the new full size truck interiors are really plush...

Do you drive the 2500 around town much? I sat in a Tundra too and it seemed like a lot of truck!

I drive it everyday. All over Southeast, downtown, etc. Of course can't park in garages downtown, but so far hasn't been an issue...
