Who actually uses a weight distributing hitch?
Everyone that tries to tow a trailer with a truck that isn’t actually large/strong enough to tow said trailer. It’s a fix for a problem that’s become all too common place….. like it’s the way it’s should be….it’s not.
Yep….really
you drive your 1/2 ton…..I’ll drive my 3/4.….Some of this is subjective, but it’s mostly it’s strength and torque vs lbs.
One truck is not better than the other except for situations when it is. Either way, don’t ask a 1/2 ton gas to do what should be done by a 3/4 ton diesel.
8000+...
You guys towing more than 8000lbs real weight with a 150 Powerboost or 5.0 are gonna be disappointed…….just sayin’.
The 150 has the guts but not the “ass”. Better reconsider the Super Duty platform.
Looks like a nice little trailer but nowhere close to a trailer like the Opus…..
Yes, the Black Series is an awesome build. Opus has them beat quality-wise and the Blacks are considerably higher priced. Both are very good purpose built trailers.
You could pull either through/over some really...
Looks like a nice little trailer but nowhere close to a trailer like an Opus…… very different build and purpose.
All of the manufactures are building small trailers, putting larger tires on them and calling them “off-road” capable…..not hardly.
I’ve not used this particular one but many like it. These and the TAXA Mantis are our favorites for personal use.
the Opus weighs 4900lbs empty so close to 5800lbs loaded the way we camp with 66gals of water on board.
The truck pulls it great. Mileage is +/- 10mpg on an average trip. Big Bend is...
Absolutely, at least in Texas. There is a much larger market for 4X4 pickups than there is for 4X2 trucks. You can play with market value #s all you want but it's the market that drives sales.
It would be nice if the adaptive cruise had a “resume” button on the console shift handle! It’s hard to hit resume when your steering wheel is turning after a stop ?
I have found, for my style of driving, that the sooner I can use my adaptive cruise the better. When it brakes, it will go into electric mode faster than when I brake. Also the adaptive cruise accelerates more efficiently than I can. It's quickly becoming second nature for me to use the resume...
