I towed a 4,000# Kubota TLB on a 2,200# trailer from WA to AZ through CA over the Siskiyou's and the grapevine with a Super Cab FX2 and it was uneventful. I would advise keeping the speed down to 65 or so especially, as has been mentioned, in WY and MT if it's windy and icy.

I didn't use ZIP sheathing on the AZ house, just ZIP tape and ZIP liquid Flash. With the low humidity and infrequent rainfall it didn't seem necessary . I did use ZIP sheathing on my WA house that I built a couple of years ago.

I just built a house in Tucson with a mini split, heat pump water heater, spray foam on the underside of the roof, R23 BIBS insulation in the walls. It's all electric and our June bill was $83 , July was $81. We payed close attention to air sealing with ZIP flashing on all the windows and...

Yep. We used to go down 6% grades at 45-50 without ever touching our service brakes....

I had a pretty big camper on a stock truck and it was rock solid. I even took 2 spacers out of the spring pack to level it out.

That's nasty looking for 7,000 miles. I live near salt water and this is how mine looks at 13,000miles :

Mine is a 2 wheel drive supercab........

It's shocking to think that I've been driving this truck for a year with the wrong cargo limit.

According to the Google It's 60 miles shorter taking Hwy 95 and takes 20 minutes longer. If you're driving a new truck you won't be setting the cruise at 80 anyway.

Unless you're in a big hurry, I would go down through Lewiston and Mccall to get from Spokane to Boise. Very nice drive along the Snake River. Lot's of great history. We camped on the river (free) near White Bird hill in February one year. Chief Joseph had an epic (but reluctant) battle with...

I put a big azz camper on my Fuso and never had a problem. The weight was distributed a little better.

Rivian did an impressive job in the Long Way UP documentary , considering the difficult conditions for the two prototypes. https://www.longwayup.com/rivian

I put a bend in my plate and screwed up into the bumper. Had to ventilate it a bit for airflow.....

The bed height on my old truck was a lot higher than the ranger. I needed a 10' ramp to get the scooter up on it.

We even bought a townhouse to live in while we're building the new house. Living the dream I tell ya!

Hest makes a comfy mattress that fits perfectly in the back of a Supercab, in case we want to do the 1600 mile trip in 2 days.

Heading down to Tucson to build a winter house :

I had surgery on my right shoulder after a catastrophic full thickness tear in 2003. I swear I could hear it go and my arm was immediately useless. Took 4 months to get back to full strength but has been trouble free ever since. The left arm let go in 2017 at age 66 when I was trying to pull...

That's why you have to have a backup vehicle! Even if it is a "Dodge" mine is reliable as hell.

We're looking at excessive heat warnings for the next couple of days as well. Hopefully they'll open up some shelters.
