It is definitely all about having the right combination when it comes to having a truck and a travel trailer - they have to be a good fit for each other!

@TheMagislayer72 Год назад

As a couples full-time rig this would be perfect

@williambradley2562 Год назад

That is a Big Truck to tow the Palomino trailer #BigTruckBigRV

@BigfootDadExploresMontana Год назад

Awesome setup and really neat view at the end. Thanks for taking us along on the Friday journey. BTW, the dude with the popup may need a little BTBRV quality time. 😉

@jaye2865 Год назад

We live in Oklahoma, but travel down there often. It was fun to see familiar territory. My father worked on a shrimp boat decades ago that was based out of Port Aransas, so my folks enjoy spending time there. I love that these offroad Aussie style campers are making their way here. This one is a little heavy for me as I don't want to invest in a larger truck, but the smaller ones are great. I appreciate the information and the effort that you put into this content. Thanks for doing it.

@154RLR Год назад

We went from an F150 supercab to an F250 diesel supercab(both short boxes) to pull our 7,000 gvwr Lance with an Anderson hitch. The general stability improved significantly, but the steering gearbox on the F250 is considerably less precise than the rack and pinion on the F150. If I take my eye off the road for a second to adjust the radio, the truck starts to drift off the road. I'm assuming this would be less of a problem if the truck was a longer wheelbase(either a 4 door or an 8 foot bed). Driving across the Texas panhandle with 30 MPH winds was still an unpleasant experience experience in the F250.

@corpusbiker2991 Год назад

Corpus Christi drivers have to be experienced to be believed....lol

@kentcoleman3396 Год назад

Thanks JD, great video, informative video and thanks for the very positive review of the Pause 20.3.

@steveboyd582 Год назад

I use my 2017 Ram Longhorn Laramie Diesel Dually to pull all my trailers. From my 10' utility trailer , 20' trailer for my tractor or the DRV 5th Wheel. I would rather have a little overkill . Beats finding out on the road you need more truck.

@wj2791 Год назад

I want you to be on my debate team.. Well done.. I enjoyed watching the whole video.

@markreams3192 Год назад

Those pop up trailers are not the most stable to tow. I’ve owned one. The truck that would typically tow the trailer would be a 3/4 ton with an off road package. The suspension on the Pause looks well dampened with the shocks which should make the trailer behave well on the road. It would be nice if that suspension tech would trickle down to to a lesser extent to non off road travel trailers. I could definitely live full time in that trailer.

@nc_mtbmedic1399 Год назад

This or the roamer one is what I will be full time in soon

@nc_mtbmedic1399 Год назад

Get rid of the Denali and get a f250 / 350 tremor for that trailer and ur dump trailer

@texillini1 Год назад

Can you make a video actually cooking using both the inside and outside kitchens for this Pause?

@JNC7601 Год назад

It would be interesting to see how much of a difference the other coupler would make

@bmerky Год назад

That Pause looks so good on the beach! Thanks JD for the great video, that truck is overkill but I love it

@granttreiber8311 Год назад

still waiting to hear about the comparison to the Black Series you tested?

@codyseale Год назад

I get the fact that"if they build it SOMEBODY will buy it". And if you have the money and that's what you want, then by all means, go for it. But what I don't understand is why build the most extreme off road camper available, when the truck needed to tow it, CAN'T even go where the trailer was intended to go

@bashelbash4697 Год назад

What about a gas f250 6.2L engine with a shorter bed?

@BigTruckBigRV Год назад

In my opinion, depending on load, should be good

@bartman1857 Год назад

At 78" wide interior width does it seem narrow when inside?

@jdhamm155 Год назад

Cant wait for all the electronic stuff to stop working randomly with age. That when i swoop in and buy it for pennies on the dollar

@phonetech1109 Год назад

I'm curious... This is an off-road trailer but weighs too much to be towed by any off-road vehicle. I'm not sure I understand that.

@BigTruckBigRV Год назад

Plenty of 4x4 3/4ton + trucks. New Powerwagon (with improved payload capacity), Tremor, At4, ZR2, Rebel, FX4, And so on

@jaderhuff81 Год назад

120k?

@phillysdetailinggarage Год назад

Do you think Diesel or Gas for a 2500 truck to tow this trailer?

@BigTruckBigRV Год назад

Shouldn't be a problem for most.

@phillysdetailinggarage Год назад

@@BigTruckBigRV perfect!

@carmas54 Год назад

Still has a horrible floorplan … poor internal storage … great for a weekend for 140k plus … the money doesn’t bother me. Nice innovation but somewhat poorly executed. I think they missed the mark on the easiest part… the floorplan. The x195 blows it away with regards to internal space..except for their toilet choice… everything is a trade off and yes I know they have other floorplans that are being worked on. Yes the quality is good … exceptional. They spent 3 years of researching this floorplan and they claim they looked at a lot of Australian trailers like bruder, lotus and royal and this floorplan looks nothing like what they have. No pantry no silverware drawer, no table no fix bed no 12v ac. Not for full timing. It will be interesting to see how many units they sell this year. But if you’re looking for a4 season trailer with innovative features like they x195 and the pause never mind their off road capabilities your out of luck. No one is building a 4 season trailer like these period. At least not in the USA. Shame

@bmerky Год назад

Hopefully they keep innovating and the new floor plans will work for more people, and it seems they are really close to being 4 seasons capable. maybe not 40 below 0 like the Xplores, but still capable.

@smonroeh Год назад

Are you going to actually camp in the darn thing?

@BigTruckBigRV Год назад

How do you know we haven't?

@smonroeh Год назад

@@BigTruckBigRV well you seem to have a month or two lag on your vids, so yes you could have camped in it. but you hadn't yet as of this filming, going by the interior.

@tyflesh Год назад

Well that settles any argument! lol The 450 really kept that trailers attitude in order nice job! Like you said 2500,250 should give similar towing. I'm wondering how rough that 450 rides when not in tow? My 2500 rides a lot stiffer than my 1500 did but we know why that is, just wondering how much stiffer ride is that 450, I've driven one in a box truck configuration and don't think it's ideal ride for personal use..

@akbychoice Год назад

My 450 is rough empty, I don’t mind it though. Many years driving semi off-road to construction and mines was worse.

@tyflesh Год назад

Where you guys headed out to watch the SpaceX Rocket take off?

@pitviper97 Год назад

The way the f450 over took that F150 while towing 7K is hilarious, like bye bye little ford

@XLC-zd8dn Год назад

With an F-250 with a Tremor Package, this would be an outstanding overlander!

@bmerky Год назад

Definitely! That is my dream set up

@mattsbrute Год назад

He totally flexed on the guy in the white truck after going thru the light. I drive a F350 dually.... I know that engine acceleration sound well. Haha

@jeff245245 Год назад

Seems like a really nice unit! I know the truck is great! Isn’t palomino a forest river product?

@nepatswin Год назад

Nice!

@lizzym9029 Год назад

So agree with you!! I would rather have less space for something that is going to last and take me anywhere! What good is all the space if you always have issues? Definitely not for a family but a couple would be perfect. 😊

@LyfovRyan51 Год назад

I live in my caravan full time. It's 3 metric tonnes and I tow it with a 79 series Toyota Landcruiser. I'd like a Silverado, but they have to be converted to right hand drive which doubles the asking price for them in New Zealand. I agree with you on the tow vehicle verses trailer weight.

@kbcoggin Год назад

The guy with a giant fan on his back is using a Paramotor.

@stevetami1 8 месяцев назад

This has been an interesting series. It seems to me they’ve made a “go anywhere” camper that need to be pulled with a “can’t go everywhere” vehicle. That said, quality trumps all.

@loragunning5394 Год назад

I felt much more comfortable watching you tow the Pause with the F450 than I did with the other truck. One thing I've learned from watching RV videos over the past 5-10 years is you want a tow vehicle that will the "the boss" of whatever you are towing, NOT the other way around. I do not own an RV or tow vehicle (yet), but given that my plans for buying an RV are so far focused on a mega-fifth wheel toy hauler, which I originally thought an F450 would be a good fit for, I am now giving serious thought to a HDT, just for safety's sake. I don't want my trailer to be "bossing" my truck around, ever. Also, your enthusiastic "rant" at the end of the video makes me wish Palomino manufactured really big toy-hauler fifth wheels, hahahaha. Been following your channel for years and I take your reviews seriously. When I finally buy my RV, it's likely to be the last home I will live in, so I really, really want it to be as "robust" (to borrow one of your fav terms) as possible.

@artvandelay837 Год назад

can you suggest a video that explains everything you'd need to do for full time 5th wheel living? Like different ways to power your fridge, what to do when you have food in the fridge/freezer but you're driving. Can a generator power everything in a 5th wheel? How noisy is it?
