    Towing with Ford F150 with 3.5 Eco Boost

    Hi all, I am looking to haul my 2018 Forest River Heritage Glen 272 RL. I have a 2011 Suburban but capacity is 8000 pounds so I am maxed out.

    Towing with Ford V-10

    This will probably generate conflicting responses, but here goes. Having towed various trailers with diesel trucks for many years, I'm considering a switch to a smaller (less than 40') gas motorhome. I'd be towing a 4500 pound Jeep. What I'd like FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE is, how well...

    2009 Ford E450 Forest River Lexington

    Took my Ford E450 2009 Forest River Lexington in for state inspection yesterday. 20,500 miles. To my surprise was advised the truck needs new front ball joints, many, many hundreds of $$$. Just recently changed all tires as they are 10 years old and are no longer allowed in service...

    Ford F150 Tires

    I'm ordering a new 2019 F150 next month and am wondering about tires. Standard with the Max Trailer Tow is 275/65R18 OWL All-Terrain Tires, but they have an option of 275/55R20 OWL All-Terrain Tires. Which from your experiences do you think would be best? Also, to further confuse me they have...

    Ford E450 Engine Knocking

    This is a pretty new MH (Forester 2801) with about 11,000 miles and we are getting more and more engine knocking sounds. Is this anything to be concerned about or take into the shop? Engine runs just fine (no misses, same power as always) but the knocking is annoying particularly during...

    New Ford Chassis - Collision Avoidance

    New to the forum, so please bear with me. I checked but didn't see this question. I read somewhere this week that Ford is going to include their regular lane departure and collision avoidance systems in the chassis used for some RVs beginning with the 2020 model year. I know that Dynamax has an...

    Advice needed

    I've read through quite a few posts here but haven't found an answer yet. So I apologize if this has been asked several times before. I want to buy a pickup that will tow my travel trailer which is around 7500-8000 lbs loaded. Which one would you recommend for under $20,000? Ford 150 or 250...

    Can’t afford a new truck, maybe a new engine

    I really can’t afford a new truck but should I need a new engine I was wondering what it would cost. I have 150,000 miles on this 2012 Silverado Duramax. I was just wondering what a new engine and transmission would cost. I hope to put another 150,000 miles on this engine but you never know.

    Newer Ford options

    Have the new F350 in the signature. Supposed to have the heated mirrors. Be darned if I can find the switch for them per the owner's manual. Supposed to be able to turn then off/on via the Sync3 system too, nothing there. I'm thinking they may be fully automatic but I'd prefer manual option and...

    Ford key fob programming.

    Here's a little tip some of you may already know about. About 15 years ago I found a Ford key fob with a few keys in a mall parking lot. Not sure why I held on to them so long. Guess I was hoping the owner would magically appear to claim them. But after recently buying a Class C Forester with...

    Thetford cassette toilet not "flushing"

    Hi, I've searched the forums and haven't found any information on this. My pop up toilet has a button that you press to rinse the bowl. This has worked for years but last year it just quit working. I'm guessing it is a pump but before I start tearing things up I wanted to check to see if...
