    E-bike or motorcycle for secondary vehicle

    A cool scooter to look at is the 2005-2006 Honda Big Ruckus. 250cc scooter, requires a motorcycle license, fits two people, and keeps up with traffic. Hard to find low mileage units now.

    MB Truck vs Unimog

    We've had two diesel RV's, a truck camper, and now our Saurer 6dm. Primary reason to have purchased it, was to travel mainland Mexico and Baja. We have yet to take a US trip. At the time of the purchase, we lived in northern Arizona, in a cabin in the woods, on a mountain. Didn't really have to...

    FMTV for World Travel?

    Driving a military or similar vehicle at high speeds, creates heat. Very hard on drivetrain. And you have to consider braking a 12-14 ton vehicle even with exhaust brake and air brakes. Need a big dime to get it done!

    Ford F550 and the 7.3

    Watch out for service records, especially for the automatic transmission. If similar to F350 version, I haven’t looked, they don’t last long. Your results may vary of course.

    Baja California

    Well, for all trips into Baja, you need a FMM tourist visa. On occasion, you might get stopped to produce that visa. At Mexicali West, immigration office is the white building on the left. Banjercito is there too, one stop!

    "E-bike" mopeds more dangerous than motorcycles?

    I would never ride my e-bike in city traffic. Ours are for Baja beaches and picking up beer in small villages.

    Looking at possibly buying a 2002 f350 7.3 Diesel -- Need help! Photos included

    If I were me, search Arizona Craigslist, and set your FB Marketplace to Phoenix, to look for one of these trucks. High mileage on most, but for 15k you should find a 100k miler or less. Flights are cheap!

    Vehicle choice...

    We have a Saurer 6dm, similar to some of the larger MAN trucks, with a converted German army aluminum cargo box on the back. As tough of a truck this is, if I wasn’t a mechanic-hobbyist, I wouldn’t own a 35 year old military truck. With 7 filters, fuel, air, transmission, oil, coolant, air...

    LET ME SEE YOUR IMPORTED DOUBLE CAB MB OR IVECO VEHICLE CONVERSION

    Nine people? You might fit them in the truck you want. But the cabin is going to be huge! You might want to consider a 40’ diesel pusher RV. Or a school bus conversion. Saw one last year in Baja, outfitted with bunk beds, they were a family of nine. Lived in it full time.
