I switched from K02s to the Defender LTX M/S2s this year in stock size (275/60/20), and couldn't be happier, especially compared to the 18" Goodyears that came on the truck. My truck is also a 6 1/2 foot bed. Tire pressures make a huge difference (I run mine at 38 psi unloaded, 44 psi towing)...

You're in the GTA? Pricing doesn't sound too bad, but I think if you can find a similar truck on the lot outside the GTA, you may be able to do better (more incentive to move a vehicle on the lot vs ordering). I'm near Ottawa, but I've always had better luck buying vehicles in smaller...

I’ve got the Generac as well. So far, so good! It came recommended from my electrician friend, and he installed it for me.

Being in Edmonton, you don’t know anyone with a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel you could borrow for the hour? ;) I towed my 7000 lb 35 footer without the wdh around the block once, and vowed to never again…

Having recently switched from a chain-style hitch to a Husky Centerline hitch, I like the Centerline way better. Handles wind and sway better, and eliminated any 'porpoising' I had on the one highway near me with bad ripple sections. I have a similar truck (2022 Powerboost Lariat, 157"...

Just a little Cougar 30BHS camper. Not as cool as some toys here!

Honestly, I'd look at another set of rims. In my time in the online car community, nothing good usually comes from using wheel adapters... Typically you end up putting extra stress on ball joints, battle weird tire wear, and lots of odd vibrations. If you can find the adapter you're looking...

My 2022 Lariat 502A Powerboost 6.5' box has a payload of 1430 lbs. Notable (heavy) options are moonroof, power running boards and spray in bedliner. It's a Fx4 as well.

In my opinion, go for it. Just be sure to test and tune the weight distribution hitch once you get it home. Dealers only install, they don't fine tune them...

Picked up my PB back in April 2022, with the Goodyear Wrangler 'AT' tires on it. Did around 26 mpg around town, 20 mpg on the highway. Switched to 20" wheels and K02s in the stock sizing, now I get about 24 mpg around town, 19.5 mpg on the highway. No other difference in acceleration or stopping...

The last thing I'd want is my truck to shut down due to a TLS root certificate expiring... :D Certificate rotations and expiry have bitten many a dev and sys admin in the butt before.

Mine came with the Goodyear Wrangler Territory ATs in 18”, but I was not a fan until I aired them up to 40 psi. Swapped them for LT rated K02s on 20” 2020 Sport rims, way heavier but ‘better’ in my opinion. No real change in mileage in my experience, I still average 11.5 l/100km (21 mpg) on the...

No religion or opinion here, just my experience. With my old truck (2011 F150 FX4 Ecoboost x/Max Tow), I towed my 2014 Jayco 28BHBE (7041 lbs dry weight, 34' overall length) without issues across Eastern Canada and northern NY state, on highways and 2 lane roads. Very few white knuckle moments...

Looks great! Now that you've had it for a bit, how do you like it? I'm thinking of ordering it vs the Truxedo Elevate system and saving 50% roughly.

Paging @jflottawa where's your pics to show off? :D

Nice to see a local build! Will have to check it out sometime! There are a few of us from the Ottawa area on here (I'm out in Kemptville). Mike @ No Limits Autoparts in Winchester may have fabricator hookups to help with the sheet metal/carbon fiber stuff. Good luck!

Just to close this loop… yes, they fit nicely.

Not that I've seen... SEMA is only 7 months away, I know my local dealer said he heard rumors of Bak or Extang coming out with more options. They're all the same company anyway...

Completely agree. One you could look at is the Retrax One XR/Pro XR lines. They have integrated T-slots in the rails to accept the rack, no 'sandwiching' like the Elevate stuff.

Based on the compatibility matrix here Elevate ts rails pdf, I’d say so! Curious if it works, because that’s my long term plan too.
