Agree! I wanted a pickup for years but I refused to buy a full-size truck (they're great, but way more than I need). I was excited for the Ranger, but it's bigger than F-150s used to be. The Maverick is the perfect vehicle for me.

My wife found a great deal on a small, used camper online a few months ago (about half price of new). I surprised her when she was out of town and bought it. It's something we both have wanted for years. We took it out last weekend for the first time. It's the first time I've ever driven while...

Nice setup!

The timer is a great idea! I'm in the market for a remote temp monitor for our little camping trailer (which I'll also use in "dog mode"). Thanks for the link...that'll help!

Not much to add except that I had the same easy experience registering the truck I bought out of state from LM. I didn't have to think about it at all.

I'd be interested to see how two 10-year-old Mavs look when one is hand washed and the other cleaned at a regular car wash. I owned a Fusion for 12 years and regularly took it through the regular car wash. My neighbor couldn't believe how good it looked when I cleaned it up for sale (he's in...

Wow! That's next level. I love the idea of having AC all night without a plug in power source.

Ouch! That's tragic. Good context for the discussion.

It's a very valid concern, especially the accidents. It encourages me to look for was to make riding safer. That said, I can't imaging not taking my dog camping, to his favorite trails, or to play with his doggo buddies. So, I'll do what I can to mitigate risk while adventuring with my buddy.

Oh, cool setup. We just bought a little (5x8) camper with ac. I've been learning about adding a higher wattage inverter on another thread. Great idea to let it run the camper ac!

Great points. For me these are always quick stops in very public places. I won't be leaving him in the truck while I furniture shop. And he is only with me when we're going on a trail or camping, so no inner city errand runs.

Good call on the dog bowl. I keep a bowl in the truck. And I usually have a bottle of water with me.

Totally agree. People do dumb stuff all the time. I know just taking him in the car is a risk. Heck, so is leaving him at home alone. But if I can greatly reduce the risk so he can do some of his favorite things, I'll do it. The ideas in this thread have helped a lot. I'd never leave him there...

Risk is my main concern. There's definitely increased risk just by taking doggo along. But the reward of him loving to camp and hike are worth it. That said, I want to mitigate the risk as much as possible. This thread has helped a lot.

Ooh, window disable is a great idea!

Could be a camping option!

Sounds like a really good theft deterrent. My dog can look fierce, but he'd mostly just try to get away. Good idea higing the keys.

Yeah, I kinda laughed at the idea of a 3,600-pound generator that can't power a hair dryer. At least it's portable.🤪 I hadn't thought of the propane option. I'll look into that since I keep it on hand for my grill.

That sounds great! And maybe something useful for camping, too.

That might be a self driving car...
