Get a transmission cooler for that Trailblazer. It's the weak link in that vehicle as far as towing goes. I pulled a Jayco Swift slx with mine just fine. A person in my subdivision pulls a smallish...

I had a Frontier and upgraded to an F-150 Ecoboost. My rv is a Rockwood mini lite 2306. The Frontier would move it, but it was not a comfortable drive. Even though I kept weights well below specs,...

I towed a Rockwood Mini Lite 2306 with my Frontier for a season. It was ok, but I upgraded to an Ecoboost f150, and the difference in feel is quite noticeable. I think the frontal area makes a bigger...

12 volt/USB charging stations installed in bunks.

I bought the outlets and fuse for $25, and I already had the wire on hand.

The hardest part was fishing the wire under the floor, then up the wall adjacent the bunks.

I towed my Mini Lite 2306 with a 2wd Frontier, then upgraded to an F150. Frontier did just okay in my opinion, on level roads. Hills made me uneasy. I have no worries at any time in my F150. To me it...

My ecoboost was $35000 new. Less with rebates. I bought it used (5000 miles on it) for $23000. Could I have found a diesel for that?

My oil change costs me $25, and gas is $2 per gallon right now....
