Ford Performance/Rigid make the plug and play fog replacement buckets. I tried a pair, they were utterly pointless.

An article published in the largest car magazine, written by the most reputable journalist currently working in that space, citing peer reviewed science, can be considered real information.

Again with a really poor quality source. Use real info from real publications please.

I think it's also important to note here, that purely from the perspective of an enthusiast, EVs are the faster, more exciting vehicles. This year I got to drive both the Hummer EV and Raptor R (great time to be a truck guy!), And after the Hummer, the 700bhp Raptor honestly felt...

I'm proud of you for being open to real information.

Rather than add multiple little lights (none of which will be terribly effective) why not simply spend less money on a single pair of 6 or 9 inch driving lights and mount them to your front bumper? Those will handle any/all use cases, and create truly effective lighting that will genuinely...

This explainer from my buddy Jonny is as good as it gets. This debate has been settled for ages...

That's untrue. I'd encourage you to sincerely evaluate the quality and truthfulness of the information sources you consume, if you're receiving lies like that.

Deaver makes a good product and it sounds like their progressive leaf pack might be right for you moving up and down in weight.

With the camper alone it's not necessary, but if you're loading up with gear too, or doing further mods, then you'll need them. My full build is here: https://decked.com/blogs/decked/build-of-the-month-wes-silers-danger-ranger Definitely recommend going with OME. The Ranger is the best...

No one's being forced. You and I currently subsidize oil and gas companies to the tune of $20 billion/year. "Standards of power"? A $50k Kia EV will now out accelerate a $500k Lamborghini. The world has changed. EVs aren't suitable for every person or every job, yet, but for the vast, vast...

EVs are not your enemy. As above, you'll be able to pull emergency home power off one, which is really neat. And some solar can make you totally energy independent. I plan to do this (EV + home battery storage + solar) using tax breaks next year. Should make round town driving essentially...

Sounds like you made an informed decision and ended up with the right product for your needs. Since you're in San Diego, lemme know if you ever need me to point you in the right direction down in Baja.

None of the above. Don't mean to be a dick, just vehicles in motion are exposed to...forces. Those forces will increase the further away you are from an axle. The tailgate isn't exactly designed to support dynamic loads, and neither is plywood, or most camper shells.

That does not sound terribly strong.

Every company that makes these things outright lies about their weight. And the Ranger is unable to safely carry any slide in, let alone one that's right feet long. The math is simple. Ranger payloads range from ~1560 - 2100 lbs. Two adult humans (300 lbs), full tank of gas (114), and 150...

As you might have seen, Montana is having a little winter weather right now. Figured that was as good as any reason to road trip up to our cabin in Glacier. Took 7 hours instead of the usual 5 thanks to slow drivers, but we had zero issues in a fully loaded Ranger on Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3s...

Prettying important for stability while doing higher speed stuff too, like just cruising gravel. The products I mentioned will save you time/money/worry. Lemme know if you need help learning to use them and I'll share some how to videos I've shot.

You need to be on a slippery surface to use 4wd, since it must break traction to turn. Use your judgement. A lot of the answer to your question is tires.

Oh, and two great YouTube channels for you: - Ronny Dahl - Robert Pepper Auto Journo
