  1. My friend Dan is a mechanic for VW in Lakeland and had one. I'll ask him.
  2. Very short wheel base therefore causing front end to lift. What will you tow?
  3. Hybrids are great because you get the camper but not the weight. Did you buy the hybrid new or used? The one downfall I see on them is if you don't keep the seals in good condition they will leak and cause rotting.
  4. Some of the vehicles mentioned I wouldn't hook a golf cart to. It's been discussed many times how you can have a vehicle that says it can do xy and z but in reality it's all bs. Most SUVs have a short wheel base and when you put a trailer behind them it lifts the front end which imo takes the integrity of the front end and changes it. Ive told the story many times about a person who pulled a horse trailer with a 4 Runner and wrecked because a semi sucked them in on the interstate then pushed them away after passing. If you're gonna play the game of I want to pull a camper but I want the comfor
  5. Dave I still drive the red truck more than my new one. 391k miles. I was just worried if the red truck ever have out I'm gonna be at somebody's mercy. I looked for a while and found a good deal on this truck. They wanted $52k to replace my truck with what I have now. It was hard after 8 new Chevys but I'm not paying that.
  6. I just got a 2013 Dodge 2500 crew can. It has the 342 rear end which is nice for when I'm empty. Averaging 21.2 mpg. Pulls really nice and has built in tow mirrors.
  7. Not only do I think 7 minutes is acceptable but look at the traffic they have to come through. Some of the roads to get to the fort are narrow and if a bus was to have to pull over that could delay it more.
  8. Every vehicle should be equipped with a fire extinguisher. Coulda saved this truck.
  9. That truck belongs to Patrick from myrvhotel.com. He sent me a pic last night of it up close. Luckily he has another truck.
  10. I figured it was the other way around Bob. You have my number if you want to come by. I requested 900 loop which is where I used to always stay and 800 as a back up.
  11. We will be in from 6/27 until 7/15. Jason, I look forward to seeing your new set up.
  12. I was looking at the Tacoma crew cab 2wd for my daughters first ride and couldn't believe the prices. 10 year old ones with high miles still going for 10k. Crazy.
  13. Lou there is only a couple spots available so it won't do anybody else any good.
  14. If you think replacing that egr cooler will fix the issue call me in a year and let me know how its going. My uncle did that too and then had to eat that repair and spend bucks for it to be done right.
  15. Usually the dealer wants to go right back to putting on a new egr cooler. I'm glad I didn't buy one of these. I almost traded my 04. dura ax for one in 08. My duramax has 386k miles on it now. I somehow doubt that truck would've ever done that. I'm unfortunately going to have to get another truck as mine is not pulling like it used to and I know one day she's gonna let go. Chevy has priced me out so I'm gonna try a new Dodge with a Cummins. Hope it gives me what my Chevy did.
  16. My uncle has an 04 F260 with the 6.0 and he just spent $5,400 on his. Luckily we have a guy in JAX who is very good at fixing that issue. The truck only has 75000 miles on it. He pulls his 20' fishing boat with it. Never even seen more than 5k lbs behind it.
  17. My uncle just had $5400 worth done to his. They deleted all the crap and the guy who fixed it is known as one of the best in Jacksonville.
  18. Its funny the things you remember from years ago. I remember when we went in 72 the only souvies I saw back then were the hats you could get your name embroider on and magnets that said Walt Disney World on them. I got a magnet and for years thought it was the coolest thing ever. No matter how many times I go to the mk I always go in on the right side of the train station and say to myself I'm home. We went over thanksgiving weekend and rode COP. Its those things I guess that keep us young. This thread is like a rewind of life at Disney.
