The new 10 speed F150's only have a liquid/oil cooler for the transmission and its common for them to get hot. This is typical around the forums. Prior to 2018 they had the liquid/oil cooler in the radiator end tank, and then an air cooler in series with that. I've yet to see my 2014's...

Yeah I bought a Lexus GX used in Feb 2020 for around 21k and i think its probably work about 25k now.

So i actually looked at the parts diagrams of the Silverado and to me it looks like they only have an air cooler, no liquid/oil cooler. That might be why it was struggling at low speed. we saw the 5.3L tow an 8000 lb trailer up the ike not that long ago and didnt get hot. The video was actually...

You win. Astro van is the correct answer. We towed a ~3500 lb ATV trailer with ours and it did well. The rear suspension was a bit soft. And if the engine or transmission ever blow up you can swap in virtually any chevy truck engine from like 1990 up to 2013

I wouldn't buy an old Toyota for the purposes you are looking for just because of how ridiculous the prices are. A 1st gen Tacoma is going for stupid money these days.

1995 4Runner 22RE with solid axle swap, 5.29 gears, ARB locker, and 33x10.5 KM2's. The tires are getting pretty worn so i am in the process of looking at going to a 35 or 37"

2011 GX460 on the stock suspension. 255/70R18 Blizzaks 285/70R17 KO2’s on TRD OR wheels: 5500 lb GVWR TT at the top of Wolf Creek Pass here in UT. I estimate this trailer was around 8000lbs. Just the crushed stone was 6500 lbs. I only had to drive a mile to my house from the quarry but it...

The same reason people live in Massachusetts and then don't ski, snowboard, snowshoe, cross country ski, ice skate, snow mobile, or do anything and then piss and moan about the snow. It was me and like two other people in the entire state that actually got excited for snow. Now I live in Utah...

Ohhh wow. Rancho shocks? The pinnacle of suspension technology? I take it back. Its a true automotive marvel. I am sure you cannot get skid plates and locker on any other Silverado trim. Especially on the RST with Z71 or diesel offroad package.

I've smashed both running boards on my F150 to the point that I pulled them off because they were so crooked that I would slip on them if it was wet/snowy. But yes, I agree, for most people it does not really matter.

what else does the TB offer besides the appearance and the lift? Some 32” Duratracs? Sweet.

See, I am much more of a fan of the RST look than the TB. I like the color matched bumper and grill bars. Plus, every other Silverado I see is a TB. Just get an RST with the diesel offroad package(which comes with 3.73 gears btw) and go get a set of wheels and tires. It's not like the TB offers...

My next oil change will be PP Euro L. I already have it in the garage, just waiting for the miles.

IDK about the lifter thing. I am on one of the 3.0 Duramax facebook group and some of the GM Techs on there say they have been doing lifter and rocker arm repairs on a lot of 5.3/6.2's. For the price, I would have a hard time buying anything but the 3.0 if I was buying a GM 1500. Its only...

Lol. You’re right. I mean i have an actual 4Runner, a rebadged 4Runner and F150 with a twin turbo V6(the horror!) and can assure you that they all suck in their own ways.

Let me know what you need to do to fit 35's on one of those. It most likely involves new wheels, a lift, cutting, hammering, chopping the body mount and maybe a sawzall.

Do they still make the 370? Its not on their website and Cargurus doesnt show it as a new model.

My house is at 6500'. I tow mostly down to southern UT or into Wyoming. In Wyoming I am usually 7000'+ but I have been up to 10 or 11000 ft. Any passes we hit are usually in the 8-9000' range. I run 40/60 coolant/DI water. We have a shop on the Ecoboost forum who has been putting 30% coolant...

just buy takeoffs. Guaranteed 90% of these things immediately get aftermarket wheels and 37’s the second they roll of the lot and the owners try to sell the stock setup. Thats how it works with Wranglers and 4Runners. I picked up a set of BFG KO2’s from a Wrangler Rubicon with 35 miles and a set...

I have a 180F tstat in it now vs the OEM 192F stat. I am exceeding the cooling capacity of the radiator.
