It might be easier for the time being to just hire a personal driver. Since you don't want to drive.
As for emergency braking, back up cameras, i'm all for that as it's safety related. Cruise control in itself is a nap inducing feature and likely shouldn't ever have been a feature but we have...
this is a solid axle jeep truck, no place for a lot of this shit on it, or at least, as i said, for the base models with manual transmissions...keep it as simple and mechanical as you can, keeping that fob and rfid bullshit with those models is a serious fack up, can you tell?
overland and...
Your insurance rate should be doubled if you have enough tech to have a nap on the way to work as you 'drive' your vehicle. That's a joke. How bout have a coffee and engage yourself 100 while you operate a two ton death machine? How is adaptive cruise control a safety feature...I'm all for...
well quit taking it half way, public transportation, or limo service, or uber...you won't have to worry at all about piloting 2.5 tons of high speed death machines, not sure why you're driving at all, you won't even need insurance lol
maybe take another step further and get the tesla with...
well lets leave it here then...
1. ajt designs is probably doing very well as at least they reduced the size of the fob, i whipped out the visa immediately as soon as i saw there was at least some product available to ease this pain, and reduce this uncomfortable bulge in my pants ;)
2. the...
ya my ram had the 5 1/2' box, doesn't sound like much difference than a 5' but when it's also several inches shallower, it's not near the 'bucket' the 5 1/2' box is on a half ton
having said that, i'm finding i get along with the glad box just fine
you could also likely buy a used motorhome or travel van for less than both, bigger and more luxurious are your goals maybe neither of these options are right for you ;)
you're comparing the most unique and versatile motor vehicle you can get for under 100k to a half ton pick up lol, it just...
Well i also think you'll be ok having seen this trailer set up. I assume it has brakes, you'll want to address that, for lots of towing as you have planned get a wired in brake controller that has good reviews and reputation. Assuming you keep the stock tires also.
And if you save up a bit for...
I have 16,000 kms on my sport-s, 6-spd, non-max tow...
1. Mopar lift plus 3/4" pucks up front and 37's.
2. 4.88 gears.
3. Magnaflow street series side exit exhaust.
4. 2000w stereo upgrade with 1500 of those watts going to two 10's under the back seat. Plus added satellite radio kit for my...
On stock tires up to rubicon stock tires it will do it just fine. Get the curt echo bluetooth brake controller and away you go. It won't be ideal but it will work. If that's your dry trailer weight and you haven't added all your gear/fluids/toys then it's gonna be a workout no doubt and may be a...
Yes and with the manual transmission! That i would at least take for a test drive. But it's a long ways off. Until then i'm so in love with my JT on 37's with the manual and 4.88 gears...it will be a real easy wait lol.
If ford ever reads this. Don't do what many manufacturers do with...
well since you asked lol, you may have brought up the wrong vehicle to point that out, how many codes does my jeep trip on the daily, that rough idle, seems like it's missing etc., ya i've read the threads, so maybe it does give me grief maybe it doesn't, i'll have it looked at when i take it in...
lol, i don't have that luck with tech equipment, sounds like your sharp with it, i have not had any issues with keyed equipment, i guess everyones mileage may vary, i'm constantly let down by tech, rarely by mechanical
Yes i had issues with 4wp, first they ordered rubicon stuff for my sport, so took it apart and had to put it back together same day, then another couple months wait, then finally get the right stuff from yukon for the sport and then they had a last minute panic to find the right axle seals or...
swampnut, do you have a router in your house? how bout wifi stereo speakers etc.?
do i need to say more? about how reliable this stuff is over the course of a year?
and we want this connected by thin air and batteries for our vehicles?
i'm all for progress and improving things, but some...
for a country where preppers are a thing and apocalypse planning is real...this goes hand in hand with that stuff?
our ability to get around you really want all that tied to a 'network' that could be down anytime? pretty tough to turn off a signal to an actual key, or have any sort of...
and what happens when your battery dies? or the watch shits the bed for another reason? ever go places without service or power, outdoorsmen type stuff, hunting etc. then come back to vehicle after 6 days backpacking in somewhere remote? what then?
