It is surprising that it didn't start that way instead of the complexity of current hybrids. Ford even had that patent for the Lightning right away for a removable "range extender" for the bed
I agree, and I've seen that they tow their equipment trailer to shows with it. While I feel it "should" be fine, my insurance would probably not agree.
The problem I've run in to is the hitch they have for the bobbed bed isn't certified for towing. My current trailer is about 5500lbs loaded and I wouldn't pull that with a non certified trailer.
Hmm, if I could get the wife to tow this with her Wrangler while I tow the big trailer, then I could still do the bobbed bed and we'd have enough sleeping room for the family.
I've got a year or two on my lease to figure it out. If I'm remembering the rack dimensions right, it would need a little more than a foot cut off the fit on the bobbed bed. That would give me quite a bit of overhang. I have the 23Zero Armadillo A2 right now. I'd also still need to be able to...
I like the bobbed bed option, but would have to reconfigure my current bed rack and tent situation. I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of investment lol
Nice setup. Hope you like the Opus, I saw one in person for the first time last week and it was pretty cool. We have an OBI Dweller 13' that I'm wanting to upgrade the electrical on, first step might just be going from AGM to LiFePo4 batteries.
I love the Xtrusion-Overland rack combined with the X4S. I'm still running it mounted to the X4S rails and have had no issues with movement even after adding a 200lbs+ tent to the top.
If you decide to upgrade to a dc/dc charger and lithium battery, I went with the KickAss battery box and a 100ah battery. It runs our 63L ARB fridge for almost a week without any charge. I haven't gotten a solar panel yet, but it comes pre-wired for everything and you just hook up to it with...
Yea, without a tonneau that has T slot rails the size is a bit short. Because mine was mounted to my BAK Revolver it is a bit longer I think 52 or 54" overall
