I don't have a soft start on our AC, but I've never had an issue with the 7.2kw version handling the start up load. I understand the need for those with the 2.4kw version, but what is the benefit for the larger version?
I agree with this. I have the 7.2kW, but on our 30amp rig running AC and a lot of extras I rarely see it spike past 1700-1800w. Just don't run AC, your hair curlers, coffee pot, and microwave at the same time, and you'll be fine.
We've done about a dozen or so nights off-grid in our Grand Desigsn Imagine XLS using the PPOB from our 22 Lariat including an awesome week in the Great Smokies park without hookups. It's magical. Enjoy!
Yes, valid point. I certainly have no intention of towing anything more than a travel trailer, so my needs are different than the rest of you fellas pulling heavy equipment & trailers.
Powerboosts have larger weight ratings, yet another reason this makes it a great tow vehicle IMHO as long as you keep your payload in check with fewer options. Here are the numbers from my sticker. GVWR=7350; FGAWR=3900; RGAWR=4150
Nice pair of whips you have there.
I have the previous iteration of that pad, and it definitely doesn't fit fat tailgates as well. I had hopes for this one, but would love to see how much gap it has on yours.
Also, do yourself a favor and spray some 303 protectant on the downtube straps and...
Many of us have found our new trucks didn't have all the fuses properly seated. I remember checking mine shortly after purchase, and at least a dozen need just a little 'daddy squeeze' as I often describe to my son building Legos.
Interesting. Well, I did add the adapter to my Xmas list this year, so perhaps Santa will deliver if he thinks I've been at least marginally good this year
That is a very impressive payload number. Like others here, I worked hard to maximize payload, but also was itching for the niceties of the Lariat trim. All that being said, I have no plans to tow larger than 5-6k lb trailers. To hear you're getting 12mpg hauling such a big trailer is also...
I opted out of the work surface, step, and power tailgate to keep my payload higher, but was pleased that the clamp pockets and tie down points/bottle openers came standard despite that. I've used both, and they were a nice little add-on.
