    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Pleasant surprise!

    Ahhhhh! Thanks so much! I'm going to do this for my Eagle. Next time I do this... http://www.charliewhitfield.photography/Badlands-Winter/ ... my feet will thank me. (I think I'll look into the "Arctic Pack" too.)

    Picked up my new Frontier! Thanks all for the advice! Ordered Firestone airbags. Now puzzling over where to drill holes in bed for eye-bolts...

    Thanks for the input everyone! That little push may have tipped me on the V6 over the I4. Other thoughts welcome even if contrary to what I do. Going for the Frontier. I'll post picture.

    Consumer Reports wasn't very kind to new 2017 Tacoma. It seems a little strange though: they have reliability "poor" for 2017 and "good" for 2016. That's hard to understand given that both are gen 3 (maybe it's due to lack of data points for 2017?). Nissan benefits on the year-by-year...

    Thanks RC. I'm set on Tacoma (gen2 or 3) or Frontier. I've measured these out carefully and all are good fit (except gen3 I have to lift 1" extra for the 19" bed wall). Frontier wins by a wide margin on price for a V6 and edges out Tacoma on Consumer Reports (mechanical issues seem to decline...

    Squatch, that fit looks perfect. Too bad newer trucks all have higher bed walls. I looked at a few used trucks this weekend on the dealer lot, but they all have so much undercarriage rust here (even 2015s) that it just puts me off at any price. If it wasn't for the d**** road salt here, I could...

    Thanks all for the tips! I've been using cars.com to see pricing near and far; prices always equal to or better than that listed at the dealer's website. I will try carmax too. New 2016 models no longer exist for Tacoma, but do for every other mid-size model. For Chevy/GMC these are sometimes...

    I picked up a used FWC Eagle about 5 years ago and put it on the back of my '98 Dodge Dakota. The Dodge is pretty rusty (I'm in central Illinois) and I'm starting to worry that imminent catastrophic failure will damage my wonderful camper. So I'm looking at buying a new or nearly new truck...
