    Truck Caps

    I bought my wife a new Bronco Sport that has all that crap on it. The only trouble is when you disable it, when you turn the key off, everything goes back to the factory settings.

    Truck Caps

    I was recently thinking about getting rid of my F350 diesel 4x4 crew cab now that I am selling my travel trailer. I was considering a f150 or a Ranger. The only transmission you can get is a 10 speed. It is always hunting and shifting gears so you get the best mileage per the computer. All the...

    Truck Caps

    In 1975 I bought a new Chevy 3/4 , 4x4 pickup AND a new custom built cabover camper for around $8,000. I know it was a long time ago, but at the same time I was buying a home and I owned a 24" trailer boat. ........and I still saved money.

    Truck Caps

    I had no idea. That one in the picture looks great. What is it made of? I had a fiberglass topper on a pickup many years ago. I didn't like them because anything I want to get out always seemed to be in the front part of it LOL! I have a flip up bed cover (in 4 pieces that folds up) that I...

    Ford Excursion VS. 3/4 Ton Suburban

    I've had diesels since Ford introduced their 6.9 in 1983. My first one didn't even have a turbo ( I put one of the first Banks Turbo on it back then). I have had 3 more since then. Every one had over 150,000 miles when I got rid of it. My 99 had 300,000 miles on it when I got my 2013. The only...

    Ford Excursion VS. 3/4 Ton Suburban

    Just don't get a used Ford with the 6.0 or 6.3 diesel. I have a 6.7 and it has given me no trouble at all. This is my 4 th Ford diesel and the 7.3 was bulletproof. Put almost 300,000 miles on it and all I did was normal maintenance.

    Ford Excursion VS. 3/4 Ton Suburban

    I am a Ford guy and my son likes Chevy. He has a 2022 3/4 4x4 Suburban and loved it. It had the big gas engine in it (I think it was 6.2) and got great mileage and plenty of power. As far as Excursion goes, I don't know much about them. We had an Explorer that was great. I bought my wife a new...

    Broken Stuff

    That's one of the reasons I am not getting rid of my 2013 F350 crew cab short bed 4x4 with a 6.7 diesel & 6 speed auto tranny. It has only 120,000 miles on it and it runs great. I am selling my big 29" travel trailer and I was thinking about getting a smaller truck. Looked at the F150 and Ranger...
