    Test Drive & Ride

    donna, mase sanford, i've been in a renegade before but can't remember how close the rear cab wall is to the back of the seat. if it's right there then unless you changed the seat configuration [kind of seat] then that's where you would be. if the rear cab wall is not right there then you could...

    Toterhome question

    boomer one of my thoughts was that you want to put a box on behind the cab, ok you know how long you want the box, next see what t6he available used trucks have in general as far as tandems and the cab to center of tandems (lets call that cot) is then compare box versus cot. you'll then know if...

    Toterhome question

    boomer, i'm of the mind that too much is a good place to start. that said i'd go with the most engine, more gears, as low on the rear ratio (3.90 or lower--- mileage) and i'd ask the guys here about gettin' a tag or live tandam with air (for stability). the tandem might be better for traction...

    hi guys, mase. been thinkin' about the ultimate r.v.. i've al'ways wondered if you [anybody] could take a moving van trailer with the possom belly, and build your own. you'd need a passage way from the tractor to the trailer, so how 'bout one of the telescoping connectors found on trains? then a...

    paul, mase; as i said earlier my kingsley runs 11,680 on the front i'm real careful with my psi on the front. i've had mine [kwt2000] aligned at a first class shop and it drives great. my only concern was the tire limits. several shops have said i'm ok. i do think that by the nature of some...
