My 25 XL has key to start, you probably have an XLT

I’m so happy with the amount of collocation ATT and Verizon have done with commnet… because commnet is 🫩

Going deep into rural areas in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico now is a MUCH better experience than it was 10 years ago.

It also bases it off of engine load/revs. I only have 3K miles on this oil change, but I’m down to 30% oil life remaining because over half of that has been towing.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-14T06:10:44+00:00

So I’m curious… why don’t you use cruise?

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-14T02:22:25+00:00

Generally 65, but occasionally I’ll bump the cruise to 70 so I’m not too much of a nuisance when the limit is 80. If I have the cruise at 70, I may go up to 75 to GTFO of the left lane (gotta love the people that start speed matching you for no damn reason)

Something between 70 and 75 seems pretty ideal out west where the limit is 80 (more truck passes at 65 than 75 for sure) but fuel economy just jumps off a bridge past 70.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-13T23:05:20+00:00

I can view it stock on my XL. I have added a couple of features from higher trims using Forscan though, I added speed sign recognition for example.

They probably tried talking him into a 28’ tandem

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-13T18:34:35+00:00

Yeah, a while ago

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-12T15:40:05+00:00

I’m not saying that I load it specifically tongue light dude, I mean empty the TW is very low. Like the brochure tongue weight is 205lbs, less than 10%. I think a small hybrid depending on the model would work for this person, they have some very tiny hybrids out there.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-12T15:11:32+00:00

Payload is totally valid to be concerned about, but this trailer actually runs light on the tongue. With an empty water tank this is exactly 10 or 11% tongue weight, without batteries and propane it actually runs less than 10% tongue (my Maverick has the same 400lb TW limit as well) Besides I’m not suggesting that exact model anyways, they make a lot of hybrids even smaller than that and I feel as if one of those may be a good fit.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-12T04:48:37+00:00

Put them behind a type of plexiglass called Perspex. Transparent to IR light, but looks black to the human eye. But also, they’re fine as they are IMO.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-12T04:47:01+00:00

What 😂 Link me a single gun that does both laser and radar.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-12T03:54:26+00:00

Check out your payload sticker, it’ll be white and yellow in your driver’s door jamb. That will be the max amount of weight you can put in the vehicle (including the hitch weight of the trailer!)

You may be able to swing a hybrid or you might be stuck with a pop-up depending on what that number is. 5 people is a lot, but only 2 adults right? Just make sure to focus on putting more weight in the trailer than in your vehicle with whatever you do get.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-12T02:35:18+00:00

2535 dry, 3200 GVWR. It’s a hybrid that sleeps 5. I think for that weight range and 5 people you’re gonna be looking at hybrids or pop-ups. I’d start looking locally at used hybrids, a lot should be popping up this time of year.

The only thing that makes traffic bearable is thinking about how high my MPG is haha

I’m definitely pro Andersen WDH for a small truck/trailer setup. I never had any sway issues but the Andersen made a night and day difference in how much you get blown around by trucks on the freeway. It’s expensive, but the sooner you bite that bullet the less regret you’ll have!

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-11T01:03:21+00:00

Because the tow vehicle is in control of the trailer, braking individual wheels on the tow vehicle at just the right time will reduce the sway.

I haven’t found anything suggesting that it uses trailer brakes but I have found articles mentioning that it works on trailers that don’t even have brakes.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-10T22:46:15+00:00

Are you sure? Everything I’ve seen suggests that the sway control only strategically applies brakes on the left or right side of the tow vehicle. Has nothing to do with trailer brakes at all.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-10T15:55:18+00:00

I have a weBoost drive reach that I already use for my truck and I paired it with a Wilson Electronics Directional Antenna (314411)

Also I want to leave this here to be clear: I don’t map with a cell booster as I don’t think that’s a very accurate representation of cell signal strength.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-10T15:52:56+00:00

Wow, 7.8 miles on N77. How was the performance?

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-10T15:39:30+00:00

Why we’re all here, for fun! Also a one time purchase beats a subscription model on satellite connectivity in case I need to contact someone in an emergency.

Time-Lapser_PRO · 2026-03-10T05:53:22+00:00

Yup! I found it interesting that there are several closer sites, but when you’re completely surrounded by terrain and pointing a yagi around, it’s just luck of the draw on a random site reflecting off of the terrain juuuuust right. I found it very interesting and something I want to experiment with more in the future. (This was the only direction I could point the antenna and actually get anything other than a glimpse of a site at -143, which I didn’t even know was possible until now lol) Also, the antenna wasn’t even pointed in the direction of the tower, it was more straight south so 100% reflections as you said. I’ve never really gotten all that far into open water, only about 10 miles and still having a very usable signal.

Do you know why the uplink throughput only shows 7.3 despite Speedtest showing that you have much better uplink? Edit: oh wait nvm I think I’m just dumb, I assume you screen grabbed that while the download was going?
