Friends, I’m truck shopping right now. I have a Bighorn Fifth-wheel 16,000lb gross weight. It would be moved rarely and we live in it full time in South Florida (city). I been looking at different trucks - but am wondering what successes you all been having pulling heavy fifth wheels. What truck...

We just bought a 2018 Heartland Wilderness 2850BH and can't wait to hit the road. We've been researching and weighing options for nearly a year and we finally jumped in. The dry weight is 6,742 lbs, and the rig is 32' 9" long tip to toe. Currently we have a 2015 Toyota Tundra 4x4 but it's a...

Okay, so not my tow vehicle. But my Dad is having problems with his 2003 Sierra with the 5.3. We put a reader on it. Says mass flow sensor fault, as well as multiple Mis fires. He did a new MAS, plugs, wires, and fuel filter. Truck is still acting the same. At idle it is fine. Drive it down the...

We just bought a 2012 F-150 V6 ecoboost to pull our 30' Trail Runner. Anyone have experience with the turbo engine? I did quite a bit of research and they seem to be a no brainer for towing and gas mileage.

Hello, I noticed some time back (months) that all 4 tires on my F-350 have cracks about 1 inch from the wheels, running all the way around the tire. Are these dangerous? The tires ar BF Goodrich Rugged Trail t/a, built 40/04, installed June/05. They have 40,000 miles, about 12,000 to 15,000...

We are planning to purchase a Landmark Pinehurst in early January and also order a 2010 Chevy 3500HD Duramax diesel. We have been told that we need the 3500 vs the 2500 Chevy, which increases the GVW from 9200 to 9900. We'd appreciate any feedback on this.

This I found from webshots. he's towing 2 trailers, (F350)no sway and no equailizers, ball hitch setup looks to be too light for this haul. first is a park model with a tow buddy pulling 2nd trailer.:eek: If it break loose some will suffer a major accident...

we have a 2006 big horn 3500rl and are looking for some pictures of truck graphics someone might of put on there truck. we have a 2006 250 diesel quad cab.thanks

This is an ongoing issue, just thought I would throw it out for discussion. I currently have a 1999 F-250 that I purchased new and it has been the best truck I have ever owned. I will probably buy new in the next few years and go with a dually. If Ford still had the 7.3, it would be a...

Well just got done weighing my new to me truck. I have a large tool box and a Back Rack and every tool a carpenter can have in there, along with my hitch and a compressor. It weighed 8,660 lbs.

If you have not seen the new Garmin nüvi that is available, you should go to the Garmin site & check it out. I purchased the 465T a month ago, and it has been great! It runs in two modes - 'car' and 'truck.' In 'car' mode it operates like any other Garmin. You enter where you want to go, and it...

I just bought a Cyclone 3950 and we are now in the learning curve of using it. Right off I experinced a problem while turning a semi tight corner. While I was watching to make sure the cab did not catch the trailer; the back of the pin box got into the rail on the side of my truck bed that is...

Wondering if half of those pulling a 3670RL are doing so with a 3/4 ton truck or does anyone use that size for this trailer, but does anyone use at least a 1 ton or larger?? Just curious as I do see the F250's being used for this size trailer and was just wondering how normal this is??

I found a nice tow rig I'm very interested in purchasing, but I have just one small problem - it is 800 miles away! :eek: The truck is in Port Richey, FL and I am in Williamsburg, VA. I thought I would give it a shot to see if someone on here might be able to give it a look over for me next...

I have checked the truck and power is working on it so it is a trailer problem. It does not look like a charging wire is hooked to the battery. Where could I find out how to find and hook up the charging wire?

We have a 2010 Bighorn 3670RL and a 2009 Dodge 3500. What do I need to do to get the truck to charge the trailer batteries while driving?

I am just curious why there is such a heavy bias on the forum against the 150 or 1500 sized trucks. I recognize that the HD trucks can pull more but when I can afford to have a TV that is dedicated to that task I might consider it. Alas I am just a poor family man and cant afford to buy a truck...

We've been looking for months-came across a 2009 Big Country 3490BHS that the dealer has priced at $x. Seems like a great deal and it has everything we want except the power awning. Is a manual awning a pain to deal with? We are members or RV.org and purchased their buying guides, and mult...

I currently own a Chevy Duramax 2500 and have been reading these threads for a while. After reading all that I can read I have determined that i am over the capacities with just a 3/4 ton. Are the 1 ton SRW Dodge and Chevy crew cabs sufficient tow vehicles for an normally loaded 3055 RL or do...

The current seat in my new truck is not compatible with the Bruno poer pedestal. They want to sell you and entire seat with their logo emblazoned on it. They will not provide a seat without it...some vehicles can use their existing seat..but, not a Silverado. They make additional lifts and...

Did you know the VA will currently pay $11,000 cash money for certain vets to buy a vehicle? Did you know that they will also pay for the modifications to make the vehicle driveable if you meet their criteria? I didn't either until I started digging. I'll be posting forms, and experiences...
