    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    I'll plus 1 on that size trailer being small, but not for the reason you're probably thinking. I'm guessing that 34' trailer may have been similar to my old trailer (32' single non-camp slide). With 2 dogs and just one kiddo (about a year and a half old when we got it, and 3 when we sold it)...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    I guess I learned something new today. I knew it was the case for the Dodge trucks, didn't realize that GM and Ford HD trucks didn't have it. Thanks for the clarification.

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Are you talking about the Hemi lifters or the Cummins hydraulic lifters? Either way, any engine that has some sort of cylinder deactivation is going to be subject to potential lifter issues, and any modern V8 has cylinder deactivation. Anything with hydraulic lifters is also susceptible to...

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    I keep meaning to update my own build page, but I'm afraid you'll show up to start whispering "40s" in my ear when I just upgraded to 38s… Stay strong @Kingsize24. haha Unrelated, until your post I had completely forgotten that they offered the 5.7 on the power wagon. How does she feel overall...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Yeah, I am specifically talking about the new Tundra. Every truck listed is a truck you can go buy off the lot new, as that appeared to be the OPs interest and I didn't feel like it was relevant to list out every possible truck made since 1990 (half joke). It's crazy to me how much larger the...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Turning radius is a pretty good indicator of general maneuverability on tight trails. Wheelbase is important for sure, but generally speaking the two are pretty closely intertwined. For example, in the midsize market the gladiator has one of the longest wheelbases, and it is partly the reason...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Using latest model information, at least that I could find. All trucks are crew cab for sake of consistency unless noted. Model Bed length Turning radius Better or worse than Ram 2500 Ram 2500 6.4' 23.9' Same Ford F-250 6.75' 24.8' 0.9' Worse GM 2500 ~6.75' 26.4' 2.5' Worse Ram 1500...

    Man, I wish I had the skill to be tandem towing. My giant moving house is more than enough for me tho…

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    A few things I'll share, as someone who has taken a decent amount of trips in the north east, and is finally getting back to it more regularly, and who has 2 young kids and 2 dogs (lab and small mixed). You will not check the box with everything you want. You will need to decide what trade offs...

    2023 RAM 3500 HELP

    The front 9.25" AAM has been the same on the 3500 since like 2014? Any front locker that fits on anything from then forward will work with your truck.

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    That's really impressive. 68° is like at home comfort, not like "comfortable for camping" comfort. The fact you were out 5 days and only dropped by ~1 gal is pretty impressive. I was looking at the smaller units from them for my truck bed (I don't need much) and to say they sip propane is an...

    What size propane tank, 5lb? What did you have the temp set at if I can ask?

    Looking for recommendations on a family hauler/tow rig/occasional camp vehicle

    Agree with @Kingsize24, the GMT900s are nice looking vehicles, but the build quality took a serious dive and as it was the early years of the AFM stuff they are far more prone to issue. You can replace the lifters with solid conversions and tune it off, but it's additional cost and work...

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    Man, this build is gonna look so amazing when it's done. It looks great now, but once you get that trailer paint matched it is gonna be damn near perfection.

    BFGoodrich KO3 coming soon!

    I've had KO2s in the past and so long as they are sized correctly for the vehicle I've been mostly pleased with them. That said, I think there is much new tire tech available today, and you can see the evolution of some of that with the KO3s. I like the tighter spacing of the center lugs in the...

    BFGoodrich KO3 coming soon!

    I did see those, and overall they seem like nothing but improvements. That said, They sadly don't offer a 38-39" and I was hoping to get a bit of a larger tire. BFG is the only brand that offers a 39" AT as it stands, hence why I'm holding out for their KO3. Now, I've seen that the BFGs are...

    BFGoodrich KO3 coming soon!

    I know this post is close to a year old but I've been looking at my next tire as my Falken AT3Ws are wearing a bit odd and getting louder, not much tread left so overall mostly happy with them. I've been eyeing a step up to the "39s" in the KO2 and that lead me to see the KO3, which appears to...

    2022 RAM 5500 Composite "Super Camper"

    Looks good. I know in the 2/3500s there is normally a jack and funnel under the pass seat. I take it that stuff wasn't there for the 5500 or did you just strip it?
