Nice idea. I think I'll copy that!

" ... but since a RR driver's seat moves back and forth as you start and stop ..." It doesn't move when you start and stop. You didn't misread. To most people, "start and stop" suggests stopping at a stop sign or red light and then moving forward. He meant "shut off the ignition and turn on...

I don't have a Decked bed storage system in the Ranger, but I have had them in a couple of other trucks. They completely change the bed, of course, so it may make your truck less usable, or more. I wouldn't go that route to solve just the specific problem of storing a firearm, but they are...

Trigger. Explain how your comment wasn't stupid, and I'll admit to being triggered.

Take that stupidity elsewhere. You never get off the beaten path. Just say that.

My point has nothing to do with the machine and everything to do with circumstances. If you run out of gas in a place with cell phone service and taxis, Uber, etc are available for under $500, that's an expensive gas tank. Compare that to have no phone service, no available towing or taxi, 200...

Wow. They don't ship to the US, but they also won't ship to Hawaii!

I've been out of gas a couple of times. In one case, $2600 would have been ridiculous. The other time, it would have felt like a screaming bargain.

No. 100 mph in a 70 is a misdemeanor in Florida, which isn't what you said.

" Yes, speeding can be a felony in Florida if you are driving 50 mph or more over the posted speed limit. Under Florida's "Super Speeder" rules (as of 2025/2026), extreme speeding is a criminal offense, not just a traffic ticket.30+ MPH over: Misdemeanor, mandatory court appearance.50+ MPH over...

It's unlikely to be a felony. But it would definitely be a criminal charge as opposed to most traffic citations that are civil offenses.

I haven't had a problem either. I've had two Samsung Androids. Both have Otter cases, which have thickish rubber. My previous Tacoma had a useless wireless charge pad. It wouldn't work unless I removed the phone from the case, which was a pain. I think the different experiences are...

My camper is more that 16% when unloaded. That's 450 pounds. Fully loaded, the tongue weight can be 18%. My camper is made by NuCamp. They're a medium sized manufacturer known for high quality. Recommending weight distribution hitches and 12% tongue weight in all cases is like recommending...

I'm comfortable following manufacturer recommendations. To each his own.

Why? Assume a trailer is 3000 pounds gross. Now assume it's designed to have a tongue weight of up to 550 pounds. That's more than 18%, but the weight is still well within the Ranger's capacity.

I have a Leitner Designs rack. They aren't cheap, but they're very high quality and highly modular. I was initially drawn to their systems because the rear horizontal bar can be moved to accommodate loads of different lengths. Truck Bed Rack Systems | Rack Systems for Trucks | LEITNER Designs...

Another advantage of the lower weight of the Andersen wd hitch (or any hitch that's light) is that it adds relatively less tongue weight. While the weight distribution is the point, every extra pound gets you closer to the payload limit. WD hitches can be very heavy. In my experience, payload...

What's the thinking? Does DI only tend to cause more blow by and/or fuel dilution?

I think you're good. Do check with your RV manufacturer about guidance on a WD hitch. My guess is that they'll be neutral. If that's the case, my experience suggests getting one, but that's your call. We have a NuCamp Tab400. It's pretty lightweight ... gross is about 3500 pounds. NuCamp...

That's not universally good advice. It may be advisable here, but it may not.
