Apparently, you missed me in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas panhandle, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska last June.
When I camped at Grand Teton National Park, there was another F150 shortbed with a fiver several spaces away.
I do wish I had the 36 gallon gas tank though.

Wow, thanks for that. I hadn't ever seen that before. Very cool.

Just spent the last week in Ocean Shores Washington, about 400 miles from home. The 4th was crazy with bonfires, booze and explosives. Had to get a picture on the beach. Also a picture just before making the Columbia river crossing.

Lets see your campers being towed-image-1107613133.jpg

This past weekend out at River Ranch In Winter Haven Fl. I now have a 2 1/2 leveling kit with 35's and I think I need to add helper springs to bring it back to a level tow. It's unhooked in the photo. Anyone else tow with this leveling set-up?

Up at 6000ft in Cisco Grove, CA last week. First time I towed with the Ecoboost. I used to tow this trailer with a modified 7.4L big block Suburban and the 3.5L tows as good or better. Average 12.5MPG in the flat valley and 10MPG up the hills.
