Re: Arctic Wolf Fifth Wheels
I do not want to spend over $40k for one, on a budget as in I just purchased a truck to pull it. I'm thinking I should go cheap with entry level stuff and just fix most **** on my own and insulate and well pretty much do a lot that the makers of the trailer do not do1KViews0likes0CommentsCrusader lite 27rk, anybody have experience with
Looking at purchacing a new Crusader lite 27rk this coming July and wondering if anybody has one and any experience with it. With its lite pin weight I think it would be a good match with my Nissan titan xd diesel and love the layout. A bedroom slideout would be nice, but my truck limitations are limited so I can deal without one.821Views0likes2CommentsRe: Ford finally releases specs for F-150 3.0L diesel

The mpg is huge in this market, this is really where Nissan/Cummins dropped the ball. You cant deliver sub HD power but achieve the same mpg as the HD set for near same money. Nobody is buying that combo. Bring the power down so you can keep the chassis and powertrain lighter but still capable and deliver killer mpg. Hopefully they stay out of the sub 1500 pound payload area and all will be good. I think Nissan was looking at the towing experience. A heavier truck equals a way better driving experience.266Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford finally releases specs for F-150 3.0L diesel

The gas motor makes plenty at 375/470 and tows my 8500 lb trailer very well. Higher up front and maintenance costs but better fuel mileage might not be enough to sway me. Might be a better choice in the non-HDPP truck. Now if it had been a 5.0 liter and delivered 350/600 I'd be all over it. Unless Ford did what Nissan did and made the Titan with a **** payload. I want to see 2300+ payload worst case. M I own the Nissan and just cannot understand why the specs are as is. This truck pulls anything I put behind it with no problem. Work stuff so far, as of yet to buy a TT, but looking at getting one within next year. Probably the Kodiak 291RESL265Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford finally releases specs for F-150 3.0L diesel

More sway and white knuckle driving. I imagine this truck if it gets the rated mileage of 30 like they are trying to say will be more of a everyday driver than a tow rig265Views0likes0Comments
