That guy's braver (dumber?) than I am ... there's probably 3000 lbs on the gooseneck, that cradle could've easily crushed the roof straight onto his head
If you're still on 225s, going to 245s should net you about an extra inch of width and probably more if you get "fat" 245s so you'll be around 65" wide.
Check the rules to see if spacers are allowed
'62 Imperial was about 4600 lbs and it was a rare, large luxury car for it's time. Now, the roads are choked with SUVs that weigh this much or more
'55 - '57 Chevys were mid 3000s
Old cars looked super heavy, but they really weren't
I'm curious, what's the advantage of flat-towing vs putting the runabout on a lightweight trailer?
You can buy light (about 1200lbs) aluminum open trailers for less than $6k that will haul pretty much any car, require no installation, and also allow you to back up (IIRC a toad can't easily back...
They do have sensors
On mine it'll sometimes throw the red "unbelted" icon for the middle seat if both outside seats are occupied and belted. I'm guessing the middle pressure sensor gets triggered by the fabric being pulled tight
Not only guardrails, parking lots will have to be rethought for the weight of EVs and modern cars
Average vehicle weight is increasing (not just EVs but ALL cars are getting heavier) and many multilevel parking lots just weren't designed for that much weight per space
Hummer EVs weigh ~9,000...
Yeah these "gauges" offer no useful info, it's baffling that Ford would go with this dumb design of fixed 1/8th increments when a normal full-reading gauge would have cost basically $0 more.
Also applies to the stupid rotary shifter. Doesn't solve any issue, but completely breaks with 50+ years...
Your hard tri-fold cover can't flip open under a low-profile rack ... that's the whole reason I got a hard roll-up instead.
I added Truxedo TS rails under my OEM tonneau cover side rails. Then I designed custom risers that are only tall enough to allow the tonneau cover to roll up under the...
Does Lobo mode give you errors after using it? IIRC another member here tried it and it would light up the CEL after a while.
I'd love to enable it if it really works ... "formerly called Sand mode" ... also Off-Road mode
