RE: Can my truck tow this?

Hitch up and go. You’ll know after a few tanks of fuel if it will tow it or not. You’ve already spent the money, go enjoy it. If you find you truck isn’t quite up to the task, get a bigger truck, no big deal.

RE: Do you have a bed liner?

I’ve had spray in, fitted rubber bed mats and nothing at all. I prefer nothing, the mat second and my least favorite is the spray in. I like that things slide easier in a metal bed, makes loading and unloading easier. If I don’t want the load to move, I tie it down. I say start with nothing, if you don’t like that try a bed mat, if you don’t like that, try a spray in. You can always add a spray in, kind of hard to take one out.

RE: TV engine oil

Well, I’ll be honest and say I’m lazy, I just throw the bottles in the bin at the oil recycling place. I do keep the remainder of the big bottles for the next oil change, but there is usually a quart or two remaining in those. What kind of oiler do you use? Those are getting less and less used as everyone changes to aerosols.

RE: beaded cab driver seat??

I used one to get some distance between me and a hot vinyl seat. Never did use one on a long drive. Should be cheap enough to give it a try.

RE: New Ford 7.3 V8

A turbo big block 7.3 would require a huge fuel tank, a big fuel line, and some big radiators. The owner would need deep pockets. All that being said, I think my next truck will be a 7.3 f-350. I can’t wait to see one go up the Ike!

RE: 2020 Silverado 1500 Duramax and the Ike

I find these very entertaining. The real question is, when are we going to see the ford 7.3 big block go up the hill with a full load? I can’t wait!

RE: Mileage observations

Very interesting. That’s pretty good mileage. One of these days I’ll learn to slow down.

RE: Newbie towing question

Play with your tire air pressure some. It makes a big difference in my truck.

RE: New to Me Chevy Tahoe

I agree get the chip to stop the cylinder deactivation. I think range is the name. There is one that increases the cylinder deactivation and one that stops it. Make sure to get the one that stops it.

RE: Tow with Chevy Bolt?

Maybe a camper that is made to be pulled with a motorcycle would be better . The kind that fold out like a tiny tent camper. Do they make an adapter so you can charge with the 30 or 50amp connection at the campsite? You may want to go to the forum mentioned above and get some good range estimates, look at the campgrounds within that range; there may not be too many good options.

RE: rolled MH onto the side - and the towed

I just look at it for myself and make my own decisions.

RE: rolled MH onto the side - and the towed

My last car had several run ins with wildlife. I fixed it all myself, clear carfax. The car I have now has a clear carfax, but the rear bumper doesn’t quite match the rest of the car and the trunk lid doesn’t close just right. Most people would never notice. I think carfax is kind of a joke.

RE: Anyone towed with the new Chevy Gasser??

It’s hard for me to tell how much power a truck has without a load behind it. If a dealership ever offers to allow you to pull a heavy load up a big hill with their truck, sign me up!

RE: Ford 6.7L 1050 ft lbs TQ at 1,600 rpm, 475 HP at 2,800 rpm

I tow with a 2001 super duty with the zf6. The only thing I wish I could change would be to make it quieter. One of these days I will add some of that sound absorbing material in the interior and that should help. I’m going for a 10 hour drive Friday, I’ll bring ear plugs.

RE: Experience towing w/ 2WD F250, 2500 or other 3/4 ton

You’ll be fine the way it is. Just go out and enjoy your new ride. I pulled a small fifth wheel a lot with my 2500 dodge 2wd, never once had an issue.

RE: Removing a B&W gooseneck from F-250

B&W has a slider companion that would work for you.

RE: Newbies

First question to ask: Do you have any used units for sale? Second question: do you have anything cheaper?
If you haven’t done much or any camping, you may not like it and you sure don’t want to be upside down with long term payments on something you don’t like.

RE: How well does the RAM 2500 6.4 Hemi tow?

If your good on payload, you’ll be fine for such a short distance. I wouldn’t think elevation would be an issue either.

RE: Tires

I put a set of BF Goodrich commercial t/a tires on mine. They seem like they will last ok, and traction seems good. They do seem louder than Michelins.
