I don't know if Overlanding is the right term for me. It brings with it some sort of feeling of safari with the imagery of someone crossing Mongolia in a road battered rig. Almost as though I'm supposed to have a windburn face, dirty knuckles, and a resigned acceptance to a sort of state of exhaustion.

No. I'm an escapist. I steal away into the wilderness like it's an affair.

And that's OK with me.

Overlanding in a full-size diesel truck

From the beginning, the decision to move from my 2001 Tundra to a more accommodating truck was a calculated move. I wanted an 8 foot bed and a full-size cab. I considered the newer tundras but unfortunately, they were mutually exclusive. Full-size cab meant short bed. Full-size bed meant smaller cab. And then there was a limitation of the engine. This led me to the diesels of either Ram or Ford. Also, this meant that stock I would have 400 hp and 800 foot pounds of torque for the models of that year. 400 more torque than any Toyota Tundra (rough estimate).

There has been a bit of a learning curve when it comes to diesels of this size. They don't operate in mud and sand like lighter trucks and there is an acceleration lag due to the diesel engines and the turbo spooling. This is fixed through quality programmers like my Edge CTS2.

But to the many jeep and Tacoma overlanding people out there, I did a quick size comparison using a tripod in my driveway. This is my 2014 powerstroke in the same place as a 2003 expedition XLT (using the magic of photography). Granted, I am 6'4", but it's rare for me to actually catch a glimpse of the scale of my truck.

The truck and expedition for information purposes only are in the exact same location and photographed from exactly location with the expedition being superimposed in Photoshop to represent the scale difference.
