How do the 331 gears perform for you? I have a '21 5 liter, with 331's as well. It has the #7050 package. I was looking at this same model. Think I'm going to opt for the 274BH (slideless). It's about a 100 lbs lighter than this on the hitch and about 600 lbs lighter gross. Informative video, thanks for the tips 👍

@@fasteddie617 The 3.31 gear set did just fine, that being said I stepped up to a 3/4 ton since this video was made. If you live in a flat area with smaller hills, 3.31 will serve you well but if you live in mountain country I would imagine the 3.31 would start to struggle. When I had a smaller trailer, 5500 pounds, I drove out to the Rockies and at elevation and up steeper grades you could tell the truck started to struggle some but still kept highway speed. The difference in towing with a 1/2 ton to a 3/4 ton is mind blowing with this size trailer, you could definitely tell the trailer commanded the truck with my 1/2 ton but with the 3/4 it’s like it’s not even back there.

the Stock tires on the Bolt are very dangerous, i dropped my Rspec on a Wet road, the bike went into a skid after pressing the brakes, and that was only at 20 MPH, also if you let go of the handlebars for like 2 seconds , it will immediately cause a Death wobble, and the last thing that really annoyed me, was how the Rear tire would always Spin when coming off a light 🤦, but after buying a new set of tires, i haven't had any of those problems anymore

I got 20,000kms out of the stock Bridgestones on my Bolt, and never a problem. Swapped them out for Avon Cobra Chromes and only got around 11,000kms out of them, and I experienced the steering wobble (only when hands-free though). I've just gone back to Bridgestones today - trying the BattleCruise this time.

I wouldn’t be concerned with a 150k mile 2.7, they really built these motors well. That being said, I no longer own a 2.7 and since moved to a 2021 5.0. I towed many many trouble free miles with my 2.7 and was still running like a top when I traded it in at 100k miles.

Respectfully, I must disagree. I am not writing this for any reason, other than my experience is absolutely factual as I say it here. I had a layoff of riding for a few years. When I came back to it, I got the 'Bolt.' Because of the long layoff, I had to re orient my sensitivity to motorcycles in general. I want to upgrade the tires to a better quality, but I have not experienced Any of the issues stated in the video. Not the hint of a front end shimmy in any corner, and I have laid my basic stock Bolt so far over while checking it's boundaries, I managed to scrape the pegs, (not intentional, it just leaned that far). I have accelerated through my turns, and fell NO instability. I did take one hand off, and very lightly touched the the right handlebar, not to steer, but if any unusual vibration, I'ld be the quicker to respond with one hand on. I tested it to see if it tracked in any other direction. I did other questionable test, but the Bolt is fine, no tracking, no shimmy in turns or otherwise. You are correct, the front end should not shimmy, but instead of thinking it is the tire, maybe your front end needs to be checked.. *** EDIT: I don't know your skill level but, it may be your riding technique. Part of what I put the bike through was to accelerate rapidly to third gear, then a sudden slamming stop, with no skid. I had No shimmy and that was with the stock tire. I am going to change the tires, but with regard to your, your review and what you claim I have not remotely experienced. Shimmy? Maybe the tire was out of alignment. Just sayin.. it may have some issues not considered.

Hi Kyle, great video. We have a 2021 model of this camper and we love it. My wife, 12 yr old daughter, 3 dogs and I all fit in. Not a lot of differences between your model and the 2021 except Jayco must have watched your video, moved the bedroom tv mount to the bathroom wall and added shelves to the cabinet over the sink. They also have the fold up glass covered stove so you have that extra counter space. I think your couch may have nicer upholstery than ours. I think you forgot to point out the storage under the dinette seats. I assume you have the same thing where you can remove the seat cushions and get to the storage below. There are also doors for access. This is a great little no nonsense camper. No slides, no high tech junk to break and the build quality seems pretty good. The full dry bathroom and big fridge are great and the 3 widows at the rear give you such a great view of your camp site. We had been towing it with a Durango RT which I think was ok and doable, but I decided to get a Ram 2500 that will not only haul this camper, but pretty much any camper under 9000 pounds I might ever get. Good luck!
@KyleBusch1243 жыл бұрын
Yes, the dinette has space under the seats but no doors for access. I’m glad they moved the TV mount, I did swap out the one in my camper for one that swivels a few weeks back and it’s much nicer now. I also traded up my tire vehicle to a 2021 F150. My new F150 has a higher payload and tire rating with the 5.0 V8 vs my old 2.7 ecoboost. Even though this camper is small, It’s tall with a good deal of wind resistance which makes a big difference in towing. I can only imagine how that Durango felt towing on a windy day.
