Show us what you tow.

I also work down in Falmouth from time to time, I will have to stop at Crabapples next time I'm down there.

 

See you at Nickerson!

 

OH YEAH...I'm looking it up and trying to set dates, I gotta go for it...I just won't tell the GF where we are camping til we get there...LMAO....

 

Dude... I will be SHOCKED if she hates it! Take her to Fisherman's Landing Beach she should love the Crystal clear water and I mean Crystal clear to the bottom!

 

Psh, I don't have Tundra money! I am just a lowly fabricator.

 

Lol. The Tundra is not mine it's my buddy's @eborgie. We used his truck to grab my 4Runner when I bought it. I still have my Tacoma but you should think of it this way, buy a Tundra and you can use it for product development and fitment in a whole new Toyota market.

 

We released sliders today for them!

Bumpers next on the list. And yes, I estimate in 2-3 years I'll be getting out of the F150 and into a crewmax TRD PRO. That's assuming Toyota gets their shit together and get with the technology advancements in fuel management and forced induction. I looked at Tundras but damn, 13/15 mpg? Cmon son! I understand they're big trucks but so is the F150 and I get 18/22 mpg with the 5.0 V8. Now towing a space shuttle, can't do that in the Ford. Haha

 

19ft 3300lb trailer dry prob 4500 loaded and 3 dirt bikes firestones at 50psi levels out nice tows like a dream

 

^^^ Nice mirrors!

 

Thanks machman001.i would have to say one of my favorite mods,when folded down for normal driving no blind spots.

 

I have the same mirrors on my Taco...absolutely love them...great choice

 

Were you the guy I saw driving in Woonsocket one time? We talked at a light for a couple of seconds

 

I don't think so...I don't get to drive the truck much at all, unfortunately. I have a company service van that I drive 90% of the time. I only get the truck out on the weekends, or camping. When I'm in Woonsocket, I'm in my service van. But keep an eye out, you never know, flag me down if you see my truck

 

This is the only picture I have of the truck and trailer together.





This is a Keystone Passport ML 199. Dry weight 3595 pounds and hitch weight is 385. The trailer can carry an additional 1695 pounds, but I don't plan on doing that. This is the lightest trailer I could find with two axels--but more importantly also had most of what my wife and I wanted.

You can see from the picture that with the weight distribution hitch the rear end does not drup. Two years ago I installed an Icon 3-leaf AAL and this year reinstalled the stock overload.

I can't tell much difference in normal braking. However, hard braking does require more stopping distance. There is no tailgating. Getting up to speed requires more time. The transmission shift at a higher RPM. The worse case is entering an limit access highway where the on ramp is up hill. In this case I push the truck hard and am able to get it up to at least 60mph. Most drivers are polite and slide into the left lane. If the road is level, I have no problem getting up to 65 or 70. I've not checked my gas mileage while pulling. I'll do that on my next trip.

 

Yet another Sweeet Rig!
TACOMA POWER!!!

 

Really nice set up...good luck and happy camping...I think I will snoop around that Model TT...I like it

 

These "Powerful Trucks" can really perform nicely when all the planning & preparing come together for a road trip get away

 

BINGO!

 

I agree, I like to camp with no one else around.

I like to avoid all campgrounds, dispersed area use.
