Hey guys, I have a 2014 Bobcat that I love. I've currently got it on a 2000 Tundra with a ton of miles and the truck is getting very tired. I was looking to upgrade to a newer tundra of the same generation with less miles. My hunt hasn't been going very well. It seems that this generation of truck has almost developed a cult status and the used price and availability is very reflective of that.
My Bobcat was in a bit of a wreck from the previous owner and though it's 100% functional with the damage I don't think the resale would let me make a horizontal move for a FWC or ATC of the same quality so in other words I think I'll probably end up buying trucks to fit the camper.
I've been going over the used market and the fact that the F150 has been the best selling vehicle in American means there is a pretty solid supply out there.
From just looking at the stats (below) there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in the bed size from the Tundra to the F150. The biggest seems to be the bed rail height which would be fairly easy to deal with by adding some plywood sheets under the camper.
I use tripod jacks and already have steel plates bolted to the lifting part to allow for the smaller camper on a wider truck (my tundra has the big trd wheel flares which stick out quite a ways)
Anyways, thoughts about a Bobcat on a full size truck?
Thanks!
