Maybe I've missed it if you've stated against it but you should seriously consider Subaru. Our Forester and our friends' Crosstrek have been excellent and gotten us to many places. Definitely not 4wd but I'm surprised how capable they are.

Could it be CV joints? Does it happen when cornering too?

After reading this thread I see the typical LR vs Toyota theme emerge. I just spent a month travelling London, Italy and Greece and I was surprised by how little Toyota product I actually saw. What I did see a lot of was LR (both old and new defender) and....wait for it...Ford. Personally, I...

thanks for the replies everyone....but it still doesn't help me understand how much weight load would help this "harshness" issue as stated in the article. Any other's out there care to chime in?

We've had them for about 6 months now and they are great. The first week I had them on our truck I did a 2000 km trip through the Rockies in December and they performed fantastic. This model (Outpost) replaced Nokian's Rottiva tire and we had those for two cycles (aprox 100k km) without any...

Just finished reading the editors choice full size shoot out where the Ford Tremor won out. This was good to see as we are partial to Ford products. One question for Scott (or the forum)....several times throughout, the article stresses the need for camper weight to make the ride tolerable...

Aside from the FWC Project M there is very little wedge or pop up style camper for the 11th gen F150 in the market. Go Fast Camper could provide an option if they receive enough requests. For anyone interested in this here is the link to their newly launched "request" form. If there is enough...

Availability for 11th gen (2004-2008) F150 5.5 bed?

They say the best vehicle for a build out is the one you already have...so, I'm wanting to build out my very low mileage 2008 F150 and I prefer a wedge camper (for a variety of reasons). Trouble is, I'm having a difficult time finding anyone who makes a wedge camper that will fit my truck (5.5...

@montypower , not sure how tall you are but one of the things that has me hesitant to purchase a Taco is the seating position. I'm just under 6' feet and the taco always feels like I am sitting on the floor as opposed to our F150, which is a more traditional truck style seating position (knees...

This is such a great build!!! Kudos to you on your resourcefulness. I'm really attracted to the Go Fast and AT Summit style campers but really dislike the angled side walls so I particularly appreciate that your build uses straight walls off the truck box. I too would love to see your total...

Sadly, I have to agree and share my similar experience with Vagabond over the last two weeks. I have had zero response from Vagabond to my email (other than their auto reply confirming my message). I see they are quite active on IG so I sent them a direct message through that platform and...

Fantastic example of how these things can be done "just right". After reading the article on the expo homepage (and all the wonderful trips you've experienced) just curious why you're selling?

@DaveInDenver what a thoughtful response. Posts like this is one of the reasons I appreciate this forum so much!

This is great! Exactly the kind of feedback we're looking for. Anybody else have thoughts/ideas? keep em coming :)
