    With all the down beat 3rd gen threads. Here's an uplifting one. Buy a tent and improve your MPG.

    Yep it's amazing. For starters it's amazing the 3.5 can propel the tent down the road and second my MPGs went up. I attribute it to the tranny slipping continuously.

    June 20 = Front Runner only
    June 25 = CVT Mt. Rainier up top too.

    Proof is in the pudding.... And I know this isn't serious but I'll still tend it over time.

    Haha I’ll have to let my boss know. He took a half day of PTO on Thursday to go to Bend to grab a topper from CVT. He will be ecstatic to go from 9mpg to 9.25mpg in his Furd haha

    Edit: holy $hit this was an old thread ha
