That's still within my spec, albeit barely.
If the rule for towing is 80% of capacity, I'm there but barely. I was factoring 75% for a bit of wiggle room. Car is 3100, trailer is 1600, and that gives me 4700. 80% of 6000 is 4800. Looks like I won't be bringing a spare set of track wheels.
Let's hope they didn't!
I think for my power needs I should be okay until I'm not with the OEM setup. If I get into serious off grid stuff, I may need to invest in solar and a house battery/power station like you have. Less complicated than a Redarc controller and far cheaper.
BTW: I rented a...
I figured the extra armor comes at a cost. I'd be adding a cap and maybe a RTT down the road depending on how a few things progress. I don't want the Baja bar. Maybe a lucky forum member will get one at a substantially discounted rate if they can't be ordered without!
MPG are less of a concern...
Agree 100%. I suspect the TH gets beefier components because that battery pack adds serious mass and most overlanders are really overloaders.
I just got off the phone with a dealer in PA a friend referred me to. They believe their allocation will hit in July with deliveries beginning in August...
I like the X-Overland guys and their productions... but the "final" episode of the series was garbage. It was a 12 minute recaps of the previous few and Clay saying he liked the Trailhunter.
Wow. Ground breaking stuff.
Exactly. XO's production quality rivals Top Gear and in many cases is better. Don't believe me? Watch the Nordic Expedition series from last year. They took three off the shelf Toyota trucks, modded them, shipped them to Northern Europe, and spent 2 months crisscrossing Norway, Finland, Sweden...
Unfortunately Toyota doesn't really care, as evidenced by their cockamamie "ordering" process.
IE: I would have bought a RAV4 Wilderness instead of a Bronco Sport last year in a heartbeat had they offered a sunroof on the model. They do not in the USDM but they did in Canada. For the same...
Really like the look of the rack but would love it more if the lights were flush with the top rail instead of on top of it.
Reason: If I threw a kayak on, it would rest right on top of the lights- even if it was sitting on a topper or a bed rack that was level with the cab.
Not to mention...
