Far more was gained from the 6G upgrades than lost.
The 6G offered improved an improved 2.3 engine and 2.7 option.
Longer and wider wheelbase. Smarter accessories and mounting points in the bed,.
Suspension, handling, power/torque, box width/size all got improvements. Better off road...
Greetings!
I am looking at a couple of options for a slide in, hard-sided truck camper. (Not a huge fan of pop-ups)
I will likely get an empty 5' - 6' Fiberglass shell type camper and build it out.
Weights are ~550lbs for a basic midsize shell. (similar to a Scout TukTuk or Total Composites)...
