Well, it's been awhile. I have been concentrating on the F150, and forgot about our little pat. Next item to wear out / break is the steering rack. The bushings are worn and now need replacement. it's only safe to drive to work and home again for the time being until I can source a new rack. In...

Nice rig.....and Yes. It can do what is posted in the video. That company that made the video did break something in another video but it was doing something really extreme. For overlanding, it's an ideal platform. Great on gas, compact to get around smaller roads. I love them!

ANYHOO> you are missing the point. I am done.

I was looking at an older used camper at a local dealer first. The owner of the dealer said my truck wont take it (which is fine) he said you need a 250 to use it. I am making the point that NO not any 250 can take it either. Looks at specs. my F150 has more payload than say a 2005...

Saw a Scout Kenai in the back of a Ford 6.5 ft bed today. We know we want that camper now. Add in the roof top tent for Colin to sleep with access from inside the camper makes it the clear winner for us. I know its fine for weight with everything in it and us.

Thanks for the calculator. I will get the information off my truck and put it in, see what I can come up with.

But it can't. the 2005 f250 does not have as high a payload capacity so it's frame is no stronger, no better motor (worse actually with the 5.4 compared to my coyote) etc. Yes, the NEW 250s are able to pull carry more. But I am comparing the 2005 F250 to my 150 with max payload 4x4. I used...

Just for comparison. The max payload for the 2005 F250 is 3,158 lbs, and my 16' F150 is 3270. But using the salespersons logic, I can roll in with the 05 take the camper and go, but my f150 can't. payload is payload.

Oh yes. Airbags will be going in along with the 3 inch vertex suspension. I can stiffen the rear shocks then too to control sway as well

So my local consignment shop has a truck camper for sale and they say 3/4 ton only. Ok, that's fine. What 3/4 ton? if I roll in with a 2003 "3/4" ton F250 can I go with the camper? If so, I should technically be able to put the same camper in my 2016 F150 since it has a higher payload...

Got new shoes for Ruby a while ago. Been recovering from surgery so never been on here much, so here is a poser shot with them. We will be getting out more from now on.

We are finally back exploring. Check out our latest day trip adventure. We are back....FINALLY! Twillingate, NL Thanks for reading. the Autism Family Travels family

Look me up if you are in central. Might be house bound for the summer with a surgery on my stomach. So more than likely I will be close to home this year.

I think I am going to run those 35/10.5/17 if I can buy them locally. That's a goldilocks tire size. no need for huge width here, but height is needed for rocky trails. I wish more companies made this size.

Your front wheel have a different offset than the front? It looks more dished. or is it just because of the center cap?
