Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to do this as soon as we get back from Baja!

💯 it really comes down to the needs and riding style of the user. Spoked wheels would be a upgrade once we beat these ones up 😂

Yea the pictures looks great, I like that the new one looks to have full size wheels and tires with h would give needed clearance for me but it would probably be to tall for Dee.

Sweet let us know what else you add to it!

If I recall it was around $1400 for the tow 😕

Thanks! Have fun with your KRUZR we are loving ours still!

You said it 😂 not me

@@tonyshelton3744 oh great to know we will be there early December!

Warranty still in use, only the suspension would not be covered. I asked when there 😁

Thank you! 🙏

And we love every bit of it!

Thanks, I figured it’s always good to start with the things you add from stock.

We had a prototype of this bushel.biz/directdrive/tru-speed/ we now have the production version and it’s working great for speed correction!

A great tip for any day! And yea the ground was on the frame crossmember by the fuel tank.

Oh yea, I went down the bulletproof diesel rabbit hole.

We were there in Feb and planning to go back this January

@@ExploringStillConnected was there in feb thru mid april , Agua verde bout a week , loved la paz area , for a few weeks & bounced around . hope to head back this winter. ~peace~

See you in the road!

Ford could not find a tow company within their umbrella that could tow us. We weight about 19.5k so the typical tow truck won’t give us a tow. We are still dealing with ford to cover the tow. Our truck is a 2023 and fix was covered. As for why the first company would now tow is, it was the weight issue.

@@ExploringStillConnected I'd be curious to learn if you guys decide to go with another type of roadside assistance. What was the weight limit Ford or the other tower could do ? I'm at 14.3k so wondering if I'd have more luck in your situation.

@PeteLeuenberger I’m not sure, I would just ask a local tow company and see what they say. Know I know I’m looking for big rigs 😂

You got that right, thanks!

Thanks! We went with the liquid spring package form Buckstop Truckware which starts around 37k and goes up from there. www.buckstopinc.com/single-wheel-conversion-f23.html they have conventional lifts too that start at 22k that are pretty dang sweet too!

Thanks Bill it was definitely an adventure to remember.

Simple is our favorit kind of fix! Now we know what to look for if this ever happens again.

@@ExploringStillConnected I love your interior. I ordered my '23 F550 with the Baja interior but was told by the time mine was on the assembly line they were only building Onyx black. Which I do like, but would have preferred your interior. It looks great!

@joz_tec thanks! We totally lucked out on that one as we were able to order off the 2022 build sheet. I hear there are only a few out there with our color combo.

@@joz_tec Dee is such a trouper too. Making lemonade with a smile!

You are telling me, the whole time I was thinking the CP4 went out :D

@@ExploringStillConnected same here. Better get that CP4 replaced soon though. We don’t to watch a video of you stranded again with a potential $12-15k repair that won’t be covered by warranty.

🤣

Thanks! It was a wild ride to be sure!

Right now we have a hitch carrier but it is sub optimal. The plan is to build a custom trailer to carry the bikes and some extra goodies for big expeditions.

While doing my research I found Myks Garage channel and I like a lot of the ideas in his trailer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHilln95mqaml6csi=IAyLn9aALLXzZUmf

No issues on the nose cap, definitely feel the 19.5k lbs going down the road on acceleration. But still can cruise at 81 and 65 through mountain passes.

@@usmcshepherdE9 this is the 8’ model on a 11’ bed

@@ExploringStillConnected gotcha….thank you.

@@usmcshepherdE9 it’s a eby flatbed

@@ExploringStillConnected gotcha…never heard of that one…will check it out

Yea I saw that, and now they run on propane. Definitely would be fun to have one someday 😍

I like the fact that so far this is the only truck top camper I have seen, and believe me I have been looking for my perfect one and still have not found it, That actually foregoes the stupid black tank to go with the cassette toilet. Which is by far and away above and beyond better than dealing with a black tank, So what if I have to dump it a little bit more often at least there are 10 times more places to dump that thing than having to show up at 1 or 2 places in a big city or every RV park and pay for it. Although I do not like the design of their bathrooms in the king's start I like to have a fully enclosed space that I can close the door on not a curtain rod. I love their solution to the useless Dinette! The garage is amazing edition. As is the backs storage locker. However I do not like the fact that it is not a true 4 season camper if any part of the water line or water jugs are freezing because it gets cold it's definitely not a true Four season! The stainless steel construction is definitely unique to this trailer line the only other campers I see doing it is airstream. But it looks like there are so many scenes that have to be constantly sealed on this thing that that concerns me. Something like a northern light which is just a 2 piece bonded fiberglass shell has far less things to worry about with waterleakage than something like this. Another thing I dislike is how cheap the doors along the outside feel like I'd fall off at a moment's notice cause I looked at them wrong. For hit a bump in the road. What I'm drawn to the most right now is the Cirrus series camper. If they made one with a cassette toilet and got rid of the dinnette in favor of something like king Starr's doing they'd have me sold in a heartbeat. Can I probably add in later on One of those flat bed storage builds specific to truck campers. There's 2 different companies doing it and I cannot for the life of me remember their names off the top of my head.

Appreciate the constructive criticism, it helps a lot. For 2025 the KRUZR gets a closet door. It can be used as a hanger or storage closet since it has two adjustable or removable shelves.

If that change is being made, IMO, you just made this camper outstanding compared to everything else out there.

They do have the option to add a window on the front, works well with the truck windows and would allow kids and small pets to fit through.
