Jennifer41 19 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I want you to know that guard probably cost between $1,000-$1,500. This is great to know!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigTom 76 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 This is great to know!!You can add running boards for very little, I think mine were less than $200 and simple to install. No drilling or anything if even a little handy you can do it yourself in an hour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 A friend found factory running boards on Craigslist for his 200f f350 and as Big Tom said they just bolted right on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stitchfan75 3 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 it took me 3 years to find my perfect trailer, google Starcraft 16RB, it's lightweight and can sleep 7 if I need it to, I have found my older children still like their own tents so go figure. It is designed for the "minivan" generation, I actually have a Nissan Armada I tow it with and have no issues but once My Armada dies I'd like to get a minivan with better gas mileage, check it out :) Sitting here at work at 3am I was set on a pop up...and then you post this beauty. I love it! We are only a family of 4 with a camping cat. Our tv is a 1999 Ford Explorer V6...I think it can handle the Starcraft but admittedly am not a towing expert like the husband or my dad.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAs long as it's not the Explorer "Sport", but a regular 4 door Explorer, with the 4.0 equipped and you have a Class III hitch installed (not the ball on the bumper), you should be OK. Also, if it's 2-wheel drive, not a 4x4. The 4x4 actually has a lower tow capacity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennifer41 19 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 We're loving the truck, hating the fuel costs! We're on our way to pick up the camper today. First official road trip in the truck (3 1/2 hr drive) which is pretty different from a road trip in my Odyssey... my kids are too close to me LOL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diesel has gotten to expensive and the 6.4 powerstroke burns through it pretty fast but it has plenty of power. If y'all look around on the diesel forums there are ways to increase its mpg but it's not cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
