I want the R3X simply because it looks like the Golf Country I couldn’t afford 20 years ago when I had the chance.

All good. My experience with that for a trailer coming from a state that didn’t title them to a state with titles was pretty simple. Just required a standard title application with the bill of sale and any supporting documents and then I was issued a new title.

Some states title campers, others don’t.

Most campgrounds and campers have all the hookups and dumps on the driver’s side.

I’ve had no issues down to -20°F with no tank heater and 30lb tanks. I live in my trailer full time and have no hookups 70% of the time.

Does the system have an automated stow feature in case of winds? A 25mph wind is not much and in some areas is well within the usual wind spread range during a typical day.

The best kind.

Pretty sure it’s because they’re all Nazis.

The media only cares about selling clicks on ads, any kind of hype works for them. I’m not denying that there are cold weather issues with EVs but I am saying it isn’t the big deal made out to be. When an ICE vehicle runs out of gas does anyone blame the vehicle? No, you blame the moron...

Which is also a load of crap, typical of most media coverage. EVs charge in cold weather it’s just painfully slow for the first 10-15 minutes while the energy is used to heat the battery so it can accept a full rate charge. Far from ideal but not what the media made it out to be. I have charged...

I wouldn’t say it’s overrated. If you can avoid it you should (especially if planning on below freezing use) but it’s not the end of the world.

In my experience the single wall design of most roof top tents is what limits them from extreme foul weather performance. My good ground tents are all dual wall, one extremely waterproof shell coupled with a ventilated inner tent wall to control both exterior and interior moisture.

You can still custom order a single cab 8’ bed F150 XL/XLT with the heavy duty payload package. That gets you up around 3000lb payload with a bit better daily driver comfort compared to a 3/4 ton truck.

That’s the 2024 then, not a ‘23. The ‘23s are still the same as they’ve been since 2016 and largely identical since 2005.

Was that the actual door jamb sticker? I find that number hard to believe since Toyota hasn’t changed anything with the third gen production and no double cab 4wd yet has had a payload that high.
