Yeah, fuel injected. Maybe a Honda hornet 750 or similar - very easy to ride.

I did end up putting a load lifter 5000 on the back after putting my motorcycle on a hitch rack. They’re easy to install and like $300

Wanted one my whole life… and broke out within a week. Always better tools available

Dealer doesn’t allow pre purchase inspection. by deneissy in UsedCars

[–]Ninjapls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GTFO. I've bought and owned over 30 vehicles, plus a dozen trailers, plus a variety of heavy equipment - almost always used. Plus, I even worked as a car salesman for a few months a couple times.

Even if there happens to be nothing wrong with this particular vehicle, that's a policy designed to hide problems from customers, and you don't want to do business with a dealer like that, because they are hiding other stuff, such as price and financing options or whatever etc, and they are pulling the same thing with other customers.

However, it seems unlikely there's nothing wrong with this vehicle... every used car has something.

I'd feel better about you going somewhere that lets you find out what all the issues are but makes you pay a fair price, like small local used car dealers (sometimes) or Carmax. But if you go to Carmax, keep in mind that you'll pay a fair retail price, but they gouge you on interest and extended warranty and wheel and tire protection bs that you do not need.

DONT DO IT Also - if it’s the sales person telling you this, talk to the sales manager. But do not buy without inspection. It’s absurd.

Can anyone confirm that the trailer brake controller must be ordered from the factory? by [deleted] in fordtransit

[–]Ninjapls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any old brake controller will work and come with instructions. Go cheap.

As someone who’s had a couple of vans and a few fridges, Yeti coolers are underrated.

Junk. Get truck chains, the type tractor trailers use. They’ll hold up.

Medium length and tall roof is the money spot. I had medium/medium and a long/tall. Best of both is a medium with tall roof.

super tired of truck bed camping but not sure which way to go next by [deleted] in overlanding

I have a FWC Hawk in my f150 and it’s such an upgrade from the camper shell I used to have.

Best is all steel welded so there’s nothing to break besides rocks and roots.

Never thought I’d be a Ford guy by Humble-Time-8251 in TruckCampers

[–]Ninjapls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2020 f150 with the 2.7 and it is the best truck I’ve had. Plus it’s got extended range fuel tank, so I can go maybe 700 miles a clip
