    Torque 291 what truck

    I change the oil when it's required. Ford recommends a synthetic blend but I am a long time user of Mobil 1 full synthetic. It runs a bit more but I think it's worth it. Every time I have the oil changed I look at the oil, and dipstick. The oil always looks new. I have had no issues with...

    Torque 291 what truck

    Follow Up to my previous post on my 2012 F150 with Ecoboost towing our TQ291. Again, I have to comment on how some people seem to think they know everything. We have taken several trips now in the last year totaling 20,000 miles. We are N of Chicago and have traveled to Florida and back, then...

    Torque 291 what truck

    I just love it when people seem to think they know EVERYTHING. I did my research and yesterday picked up my trailer. I was worried (a little) about the pin weight. My truck sagged all of 1" when lowered onto my hitch. I am installing air helper springs before we leave for Florida however it...

    Thanks for the in depth response Porthole. The track system you are using looks perfect for me. I have a Condor Chock with the trailer mount. I'm ordering a couple 24" tacks tomorrow. Which attachment do you recommend? And where did you get those? The brand name?

    Torque 291 what truck

    Well after reading all the "Opinions" here, I'm anxious to see how my 2012 Ecoboost F150 will be towing our TQ291. After adding a 4" exhaust, cold air intake, and Bully Dog GT tuner I'm estimating another 100+ horsepower to my already adequately rated truck. No, it's not rated for 14,000 however...

    I have the Condor Chock myself, and plan on using it. I have really good heavy duty tie downs. But I need more anchor points to secure my ATV. Maybe we'll run into each other this year at Sturgis! :)

    Tie down points in our toy hauler.

    That Biker Bar looks pretty slick. Would work fine for my Roadking but I also have a larger ATV to strap down. They only put 4 D Rings in the garage. (all 4 corners) Would have been nice to throw a couple down the middle as well. I really don't feel like cutting up my floor but I guess I have no...

    Tie down points in our toy hauler.

    We are picking up our new 2013 Torque 291 today and leaving on our 1st trip to Bike Week in Daytona in 2 weeks. We are bring our Harley Roadking and our Can Am Outlander ATV with us. Any suggestions on what type of tie down system to add to our coach? There are not adequate tie down points for...
