Question for the SxS guys in here, need a recommendation for a rental

[Yaj Yak]

So F250 Tremor with a 7.3, toy hauler, and SxS.... So only like 125k or so?

I wish, but maybe I’ll start looking into this more. That was the most fun I’ve had in a long ass time

i mean.

you can go used gasser f250 for 28k
toy hauler to fit it for 30k and a pretty nice sxs for 18k and have just as much fun

 

[Yaj Yak]

probably even able to do it for ~50k if you wanted.

 

[Yaj Yak]

isn't your drive to work like ten feet?

why not have something that gets 9 mpg

Nothing wrong with a half ton.... They will pull a 22-24'ish toy hauler and a SxS with ease.

nahhhhh. most half tons aren't going to be big 'nuff to support a toy hauler with 11-12 feet of cargo area and at least 2k weight capacity for the sxs.

just go overkill from the start to be safe.




but fuck it i guess just make sure you're gcwr is good and send it

toy haulers have huge hitch weights. majority of half tons have low payload capacitys

That trip though has me wanting to either move or trade in the Escape for an F150, toy hauler, and SxS.

How far are you from Attica?

like this would work for half ton, with a 2 seater but i fucking HATE where the door is... if you have a sxs in it you can't get anywhere else in the thing


but hitch weight of 750lbs EMPTY is already devouring a chunk of a half ton truck's typical 1500-1700lb payload capacity.

crown vic and send it

fuck me Lead Pipe there are more options out there for half tons than i thought SEND IT

Nothing a set of bags can't fix ?‍. They makes enough power, sometimes more than 3/4 tons gassers.

contrary to popular belief bags don't increase your payload capacity.

 

[Yaj Yak]

power isn't the issue.

Lol, would you believe I've been looking

No, but makes towing much more comfortable.

i like this.

my van could tow it without my sxs in it for sure, maaaaybe with it in it.

my truck could tow it with my sxs in it for sure.

 

[Yaj Yak]

now to find 20k lying around

 

[Yaj Yak]

No, but makes towing much more comfortable.

if you're within your GVWR/GCWR and using a WD hitch at whatever level your manufacturer says you should (i think newer f150's say anything over 5k lbs and gm is 6 or 7K? i dunno about ram)... you really shouldn't "need" bags at all.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Ram says 5k lbs

9. Weight Distributing Hitch is recommended for trailers over 5,000 lb. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I like that one a lot. Unfortunately I'm so far away from purchasing anything like that. The next big purchases will be a SxS and a new house.

The RAM sags terribly due to coil springs. I could use bags just pulling my T/A.

probably a WD hitch depending on what type of trailer you're using.
