A year later, it's holding up very well. I use the truck hard (I never hesitate just to push shit out of my way) and my bumper gets a lot of scrapes and scratches. I got some rustoleum black gloss spray paint I just keep in the bed and touch up any areas that get anything too deep to prevent...

Thank you, this is where I was in my thinking as well. I appreciate your experience and feedback validating my thought process. I'm ready to hit the road.

So I had a crew unpack and repack the trailer for me and we were able to easily eliminate 1,160 lbs in cargo as well as get it rebalanced. I was astounded with the results. More than 1500 lbs came off the rear axle!! Original Repacked Difference Steer 4420 4760 340 Drive 7880 6370...

Yea, she's a heavy truck. Ranch Hand bumper is 276 lbs. Another 104 for the winch is 380 lbs on the front. I also have a 50 gallon TransferFlow tank in the bed. That's ~170 lbs. Plus the 50 gallons of diesel in the tank is 355 lbs. Another 34 gallons in the OEM tank is 240 lbs. Total 765...

Thank you, a lot of great information here. Thanks for pointing out my math error on tongue weight. It didn't occur to me at first (obviously), but it makes sense now thanks to the explanations. Regarding GAWR, that was also of chief concern to me. When I got the weigh ticket, my jaw dropped...

Hi guys, hoping one of you guys with alot of towing experience can help me out here. 6.7L F350 tremor stock suspension. Bought a cargo trailer that sits on two 7k axles, derated to 9990 to keep me under the CDL limit. Filled it with stuff and took it to the scales. The weights...

This exactly. I love my Diamondback. And I also wish I could carry large things without removing it. Several times recently I have had the thought that I can't haul something quickly. It can be removed in about 10 minutes and reinstalled in about 15 minutes, but man what a pain in the ass...

Ugh. I know these are the oil change guys, but when I hear basic shit like this, I am so NOT looking forward to the dealership mechanics inspecting (and repairing?!?!?!) axle welds.

One size fits all, so yes, it will definitely 100% work with the 2022 and beyond. That said, the Forscan community will need some experience with the 2022s to ensure all the various hacks work. I believe some minor changes for example from 2019 to 2020 for a few features, so you may see the...

That was not my experience at all... In fact, the whole point of the OBD port is a universal one size fits all diagnostic mechanism that works on ALL vehicles regardless of make, model, etc. So that question puzzles me a bit. Perhaps they were trying to plug it in upside down? To answer...

TLDR: Windows laptop Save your cash. Yours is $100, the one I bought and use is less than $20. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B083FML519/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Whether you go with yours or the one I bought, you'll need a Windows laptop (or a Mac running some...

For the dogs I just bought a crib mattress at target. Fits perfectly in the back with the seats up without losing access to the under seat storage bin. https://www.target.com/p/beautyrest-silver-slumbertime-crib-and-toddler-mattress/-/A-79421276#lnk=sametab I’ve laid on it and it supports my...

+1…shit

Hell yea…. That’s awesome! Then I stand corrected. I couldn’t see the full thread since I don’t really do any social media besides this forum.
