We used to load an old 1/2 ton pickup with 10 16 gallon kegs of beer and drive on the highway 7 or 8 miles to a nightclub and unload them. The tire were bulging and about to blow. The rear bumper was almost dragging the ground and the truck was walking all over the road. Any number of things...
I haven't pulled anything with mine, yet, and only took one long road trip with it. Mileage was about 33 mpg. I would expect you would lose another 5 mpg from the weight. I would offer to ride it for you, but my back just can't handle it anymore. I got rid of my Fatboy 13 years ago, but I still...
My 25 Lariat has one and I haven't had any leaks. I rarely use it, but my wife does. I use the rear slider for my dog in good weather. He sticks his face out and watches cars and enjoys the smells.
I found myself without a truck, which i keep saying I won't do again. I wanted something with good mileage, so a hybrid sounded good. Ford is the only manufacturer that makes one that actually gets good mileage. All other trucks might give you a couple of mpg over their regular truck for $2000...
My grandfather used to say this!
If I had locked my key in, I would have used the app to unlock it. I know, Ford tracks everything I do. I sold my soul for convenience!
My dealer lives here. His father owned the business and worked there. His mother was there, too. It is a family business and they own the Toyota dealership, too. I have been taking my RAV there for service since I got it and have no complaints. I even got a new tire there, because they were...
I never rotated my own tires. I used to do oil changes, plugs, points, timing, carb rebuild, but now I don't do any of it. I don't enjoy it anymore and I got rid of my jack stands. My wife has freaked out if I crawl under anything since her grandfather had a car fall on him.
It is slow, but if you are driving why would you care? It doesn't get that hot. The hottest phone I ever had was in my pocket while it was searching for a cell tower. I charge my phone every night and haven't drained one since the 90s, so the charger in my truck is like gravy on a biscuit, nice...
When I look for a new vehicle and the salesman asks what color I always say anything but white. Growing up, a lot of people had white vehicles that were former company cars. Everyone worked in the oilfield and they would replace them by 50k miles and sell them to employees. No white for me...
I got the passenger side tool box, but the installation was a pain. I still need to drill out two holes to mount it correctly. I am not sure if it is because of the spray in bed or if the holes are justbtoo small. The instructions are a joke. Maybe take a pass on this?
Nothing is in mine. Sunglasses are a year round thing that I keep on my face or the top of the cap on my head. Anything on the dash reflects on the windshield and drives me crazy.
Go talk to them and be willing to walk out the door. I once worked a salesman 3 times over a couple of weeks. I knew what I wanted in the deal and never budged. I got my deal, it just took time and patience.
I have had trucks with spray in liners and without. I don't haul gravel, just all kinds of stuff. 5 years down the road, I have scuffed a liner, but the ones without liners have scratches in the paint. Scratches lead to rust. Never enough to damage the bed, but rust nonetheless. Spray in liners...
Welcome to the forum! For your trip, take a lot of money! Gas prices are highway robbery! Don't forget the tunes or audio books.I just got back from a Mississippi to Texas and back with no problems.
