Oof. $369 seems steep for that tool set, though it does appear to be good quality tools.

According to the 2024 Towing Guide, the max towing capacity for a 122" wheelbase 4x4 is 9400lbs, whereas a supercrew truck with a similar engine/gear ratio is 12,900lbs max. The maximum combined weight ratings are also about 4000lbs larger, even though the truck itself is heavier. The extra...

Also, I recall that the two manufacturing plants can't produce all of the colors, so if your VIN is specific to a plant that doesn't have access to the new color, you're out of luck.

Wow! A triple single-bunk setup! There aren't many trailers out there with this design. I have one as well (a 2017 KZ Spree 240BHS), but I've always worried what my options would be if we had to replace it, since KZ has discontinued manufacture of any model like that. Great to see other...

I haven't driven that corridor (just crossed it a few times), so I don't have a huge amount to offer. Looks like the most direct/boring route would be I-35 the whole way. If you're going to do that, I might recommend stopping by the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve near Emporia KS, about...

I wasn't confident that I could tow a travel trailer across central NV, so I didn't take US50 between Reno and Ely. But I drove US50 all the way from Ely east to Kansas City. Lots of pretty country, and at a more leisurely pace than the interstates. You can hit Great Basin NP (near Ely)...

Another way to verify this, assuming that you have access to a Cat Scale and time to hitch and unhitch without impacting the truckers, is to park the trailer (only) on the scale and take that reading. You'd need to put the trailer axle(s) on one plate and the tongue on another plate.

I have no suggestions for your crane idea. However, I would assume that something big enough to lift a full waste toter would significantly cut into your payload, which is generally already tight for towing RVs. Also...it seems a bit risky: if the lifting straps slip when the toter is halfway...

Wow, there are so many options to work with, and many people have offered great suggestions above already. Really, the most difficult part will be figuring out what you're going to have to skip because you're limited on time. (I have spent 7 days in Yellowstone on its own, and I still didn't...

Nice! I'm with you--the PPOB is the primary reason that I bought an F150 instead of something else. Also, I wasn't aware that Bass Pro would allow overnight RV parking. That's really good to know, especially now that more and more Walmarts are removing that option. (Cracker Barrel is another...

Those powerboost folks with the propower on-board generator also might have a need to keep the truck on but appear that it's off. I've spent the night in a few walmart parking lots where I might have appreciated the generator connected to the trailer, but wouldn't necessarily wanted to display...

I had USAA for many years, and their customer service was pretty good (excepting their credit card business, which is just as poor as all of the other cc companies). However, USAA got to be just too expensive relative to other insurers, and we switched to Geico 7 or 8 years ago. Once we added...

Not really, no. Sway is not the primary concern here. The WDH's main purpose is to spread the load imparted on the hitch over more of the axles, which will help to avoid overloading any one component (rear axle/suspension/tires), but also to ensure that there's "enough" weight on the front...

As I recall, some 2021 models have reported that, but it's not universal. I added the Ford camera/TPMS and did not have to replace any wiring harnesses.

Probably? It's hard to say definitively without all of the specs, but pretty likely yes. 2400lbs (with a ~400lb tongue weight) should be well within any F150's towing capabilities, especially if you aren't loading up the bed full as well. Does the 1200lb trailer even have brakes to control...

Am I interested in something like that? Yes! Would I buy it? Not anytime soon. I still have ~8.5 years left on my current truck's warranty, and I plan to hold on to it a good deal longer than that.

That has not been my experience, at least not with a larger (29' x 8' x 10') trailer. The "normal" setting was worse mpg, even when accounting for the electric mode of the powerboost in slow traffic.

Or maybe if you don’t have a way to trickle-charge but also don’t drive it regularly? For example, if you had to park it in long-term parking at the airport.

credit card surcharges are generally a violation of the company’s agreement with the credit card company. If the card company finds out, the business could be blocked from using credit cards as a method of payment.

I have not added air while watching the TPMS, so I didn’t realize that. (Like you, I rely on my analog gages when adding air.) It works that way with my trailer TPMS, and with some other cars that I’ve had, so I guess I subconsciously assumed that it worked the same way. Regardless, the TPMS...
