Cole you gotta change your description "new videos every Thursday (;"... just giving you crap bro. Seriously though keep up the consistent content man you're getting attention. Don't get complacent! If you keep going this shit could set you up for life dude! Cheers from Michigan 🤙🏽
They say the only comments that hurt are the ones that are true 😂 and that was the truth. lol. I actually really appreciate that though. I beat myself up when I can’t get a weekly vid out and it’s been multiple weeks now. (My trucks been in the shop for a few weeks but that’s a poor excuse) New vids coming soon I promise! Thanks for giving me crap and pushing me in the right direction! I need it!
@@coleeades you're welcome bro. Don't take it personally I just see you on a path to great success and I know with RU-vid it's all about consistent content. You're killing it bro keep it up. If you don't have your truck you should do some content and you're employers workshop! Seems like they makes some sick ass gear. That truck you camped in is insane.
I agree that the full size truck is the way to go. The fact that you can get one for around the same price as a midsize with close to the same fuel economy and you get so much more truck and comfort. It's a no-brainer for me. I'm currently in a GMC, but my next one will be a Tundra to get that reliability... I don't want to rebuild this darn tranny for the third time!
I have a 3” lift for starters but I’ve had friends run 35” on a leveling kit. Just have to cut out the crash bars with a sawzall/grinder and then do some other mild trimming behind the front wheel with a grinder.
Your towing and payload numbers are a bit off for your specific truck. According to Fords 2019 Tow chart that 13,200 pound towing number is only for 3.5EB powered Supercrew 2x4 6.5 ft bed trucks equipped with the Max Tow Package, 3.55 axle, and 20 inch wheels. Yes very specific these ratings are. Your truck, 3.5 Supercrew 4x4 5.5ft bed can tow 10,700 pounds. Payload is even more specific and yes it's possible for up to 3270 in very specific F150 configurations but not on your truck that's a Supercrew, 4x4, and short box. In 2019 3230 is the max possible payload for 3.5EB only when in a regular cab 2x4 long box AND equipped with the pretty rare heavy duty payload package that brings the GVWR up to 7850. The max possible payload in a supercrew 4x4 short box with 3.5 (your truck) is 2030 pounds or 7000 GVWR meaning your truck in base XL trim weighs 4970 with no options or accessories added. Payload is unique to each truck based on what's added to it and that number is on the "tire and loading info" sticker inside the driver's door. Being an XLT with some options your payload will be lower probably around 1700-1900 pounds. Ford has a chart that breaks down payload based on engine, drive type, cab and bed type (wheelbase), and max GVWR. 3rd Gen Tacomas have a Max payload of 1535 pounds for PreRunner Access cab 2wd models but most are well below that.
This is a fantastic idea! I’m trying this 2-drawer PACKOUT in my little ProMaster City camper. I’m planning on getting the wood top for it, and an aftermarket fold out shelf for one side. Since I’m a single camper, this should be perfect for my camp kitchen. Thanks!
I was using the packout products for gear as well. Also used a professional makeup organizer box which had drawers. Was nice to be able to move that to a table and leave it outside over night. My current set up in my 4runner has everything in drawers which I like, but I find that I'm constantly going back and forth to grab items for cooking. I think I need to figure out the in-between. modular boxes that fit into the drawers but can still be left out overnight in the elements. My favorite camp kitchen though is just a ribeye over the fire, a cutting board, and a knife. Cheers!
@@coleeades Yeah it's possible for up to 3270 in very specific F150 configurations but not on your truck that's a Supercrew, 4x4, and short box.

Great idea! The bins feel like such a waste of space because they are so deep and everything lies on the bottom. Milwaukee is very expensive in Australia but I’ll definitely look for a local alternative.
Simply because the River 2 Max was on sale at Costco for a good deal. I’m sure the River 2 Pro is awesome as well. Just evaluate what power needs you have now and will need in the near future and choose a size based on that.
it is important to note that as well as it is for using for camping, the packout boxes get very warm in the back of your vehicle, and the side rails can get very hot on hot summer trips
Guys I'm struggling to find a hard shell rooftop tent that can be mounted below the cab and doesn't take long to set up. Other than the one being ran here (23 zero A3) I have found the ikamper mini 3.0. does anyone have any other options? I park my 5.5ft truck in a low garage and I fear there isn't enough clearance to get it in the garage if I have to mount above the cab.
ikamper is a great option, they make great tents. You could also do the A2, X2 or X3 from 23 Zero depending on your needs. Happy to answer questions about any of them if you have any. 23 zero makes amazing tents but there are other great brands as well
What I did I ran wires directly to the battery so I get power to my bed independently with a switch and battery voltage meter with two USB connectors to charge my other equipment headlamps and phone.
Great looking truck. People totally overlook the full-size for a lot of reasons that really don’t make sense or are invalid. You hit in a couple of key points. Much better fuel capacity AND better fuel economy. More space. Comfort! With a Tacoma, you go up in tire size and add stuff to the bed, you’ve totally maxed out what that truck can do. Gears, suspension, major money. A half ton eats it up no problem, especially Ford. Highest payload.
For me yes, whisk gets used often and ice cream scoop gets used when I do peach cobbler with ice cream which is a common dessert I like to do. Plus I have plenty of room for them
I just bought these and was hoping for someone who also tows for some ratings on them, and YOU DELIVERED!!!! Thank you so much and mad respect, love the truck brother!
As someone who's gone from a Tacoma, to a Land Cruiser, and now currently tinkering with a 5.0 Lariat F-150, it's refreshing to see someone breaking the mold on the traditional 'overland' vehicle. Topper = gained cargo space, but an added expense and reduced gas mileage. Billie bars and Tonneau = sunk costs and the convenience of a truck bed when needed, but constantly playing packing Tetris. A never-ending game of trade-offs 🤪
So you prefer less performance or just concerned about complexity? Compared to bigger push-rod V8's that were designed over 100 years ago, modern turbo gas truck engines are smaller, lighter, more powerful, faster, tow more weight, superior at high altitude and extreme temperatures, pollute less, easier and quieter to tow with, create peak torque very low in the rpm range similar to a turbo diesel. Which is exactly what a truck needs and why all big trucks use turbo engines.
@@sozoxd3754 I am as well. Toyota Tundras first and second year failures have nothing to do with turbos it’s a manufacturing error. Fords turbos are going well over 300,000 miles easy with no major repairs.
This is great. I'm shopping for a 4Runner and was worried about how to do a chuckbox. Really digging the modularity of the Packout system. With this same kit I could put my kitchen stuff in a 4Runner whereas right now it is the toolbox of my aluminum camper shell.
If it’s of any interest to you I have a full length video showing this setup. Link below: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0t_Tuksvc2g.htmlsi=xJsfTPBoAbG-robK
How do you get companies to send you stuff with less than 2k subs? Also I think out of all the mods you’ve done on the truck a winch would’ve been a better setup. For example you won’t need those traction boards and shovel and whatever else recovery gear you’ve got. And they can be hidden. Just an idea.
Companies just send me emails and I respond if it’s a collab I’m interested in. Only delay on the winch is that I’m not sure I can fit it inside of this bumper. It would have to be a custom fab job and I’m not sure there enough room. But it’s been on my list of upgrades for a long time and would have gotten me out of some sticky situations for sure.
I always go to the carousel of progress because AC. I use it to take a break its dark, cold, decent music and theres never a waiting line. Max i ever wait is 10 minutes. Theres not many people there so its a mega saver for me and my family. Its nice to get away from the crowd sometimes. Personally never experienced a malfunction so maybe i got lucky.
I honestly thought he was going to show how he had a cooker or fridge in those. Don't misunderstand me, I too have a packout setup... but they are modular plastic 'storage' boxes. They don't take on the identity of what you put in them.
Such a great idea, i was just starting to come up with a draw kitchen in my truck cap. This is a 100% better idea as i can just take it out set in the garage and have full use of my truck box when needed. Like other comments i read, just earned a subscriber!!
Appreciate you watching and subscribing. It’s definitely super slick to have a full drawer system and still be able to pull it out. Will be sweet in a truck cap 👍
Nice setup, simple is good. Could you give us some info on the relay and how you connected it with the line from the fuse box and the power cables? Looking forward to more videos!
Well done 👍 I assume that the power from the truck power port you added in your bed gets plugged into the yellow XT60 port on the back of the EcoFlow via the supplied 12v to XT60 cord with the River2 Max? That method limits you to ~100W max charging, but with the gauge of wire you used that is appropriate. I upgraded to the River2 Pro when I got a fridge/freezer and started using the freezer portion of it. Both are great power stations though.
This actually a great idea. Made a pullout kitchen in place of 2/3 of my rear seats and its great, but def not enough room for everything. I can put this on top and store all my extra crap. Subscribing
Thanks for sharing dude, you know you inspired me to get an F-150? I got it in December. For now I’m enjoying the truck(stock) and saving to get an Armadillo too, it’s so cool. Keep it up!
