Cole you gotta change your description "new videos every Thursday (;"... just giving you crap bro. Seriously though keep up the consistent content man you're getting attention. Don't get complacent! If you keep going this shit could set you up for life dude! Cheers from Michigan 🤙🏽

Sam's has it right now for $299

I agree that the full size truck is the way to go. The fact that you can get one for around the same price as a midsize with close to the same fuel economy and you get so much more truck and comfort. It's a no-brainer for me. I'm currently in a GMC, but my next one will be a Tundra to get that reliability... I don't want to rebuild this darn tranny for the third time!

how did you fit 35s did you have to trim or did they just fit right in with no rubbing? i’m wanting to do the exact setup

Your towing and payload numbers are a bit off for your specific truck. According to Fords 2019 Tow chart that 13,200 pound towing number is only for 3.5EB powered Supercrew 2x4 6.5 ft bed trucks equipped with the Max Tow Package, 3.55 axle, and 20 inch wheels. Yes very specific these ratings are. Your truck, 3.5 Supercrew 4x4 5.5ft bed can tow 10,700 pounds. Payload is even more specific and yes it's possible for up to 3270 in very specific F150 configurations but not on your truck that's a Supercrew, 4x4, and short box. In 2019 3230 is the max possible payload for 3.5EB only when in a regular cab 2x4 long box AND equipped with the pretty rare heavy duty payload package that brings the GVWR up to 7850. The max possible payload in a supercrew 4x4 short box with 3.5 (your truck) is 2030 pounds or 7000 GVWR meaning your truck in base XL trim weighs 4970 with no options or accessories added. Payload is unique to each truck based on what's added to it and that number is on the "tire and loading info" sticker inside the driver's door. Being an XLT with some options your payload will be lower probably around 1700-1900 pounds. Ford has a chart that breaks down payload based on engine, drive type, cab and bed type (wheelbase), and max GVWR. 3rd Gen Tacomas have a Max payload of 1535 pounds for PreRunner Access cab 2wd models but most are well below that.

Excellent

F L E X is also another good option, if ya don’t like the red.

Love these videos I just think that's funny that some people have a set up like this just to eat instant meals

Also, video, I have a 2017 Ford, with the same bed length . I'm just now getting into camping with the truck and this video was very informative

This is a fantastic idea! I’m trying this 2-drawer PACKOUT in my little ProMaster City camper. I’m planning on getting the wood top for it, and an aftermarket fold out shelf for one side. Since I’m a single camper, this should be perfect for my camp kitchen. Thanks!

I was using the packout products for gear as well. Also used a professional makeup organizer box which had drawers. Was nice to be able to move that to a table and leave it outside over night. My current set up in my 4runner has everything in drawers which I like, but I find that I'm constantly going back and forth to grab items for cooking. I think I need to figure out the in-between. modular boxes that fit into the drawers but can still be left out overnight in the elements. My favorite camp kitchen though is just a ribeye over the fire, a cutting board, and a knife. Cheers!

Nice video! I bought one because it is dual zone and is basically the only dual zone that will fit under my tonneau cover. We will see how it lasts!

F150 payload is 1200-2000. Def not close to 3200 as stated in the video

Great idea! The bins feel like such a waste of space because they are so deep and everything lies on the bottom. Milwaukee is very expensive in Australia but I’ll definitely look for a local alternative.

I’ve been using the packouts as my kitchen in my van. I didn’t want to do a buildout that was permanent so it’s perfect for me.

Csn i ask a question?why you choose river 2 max? Why not river 2 pro?i jusy need owner opinion.thanks

I'm still between this and the mountaineer. Might do both, but this is pushing me to the Everest at the moment.

it is important to note that as well as it is for using for camping, the packout boxes get very warm in the back of your vehicle, and the side rails can get very hot on hot summer trips

Guys I'm struggling to find a hard shell rooftop tent that can be mounted below the cab and doesn't take long to set up. Other than the one being ran here (23 zero A3) I have found the ikamper mini 3.0. does anyone have any other options? I park my 5.5ft truck in a low garage and I fear there isn't enough clearance to get it in the garage if I have to mount above the cab.

What I did I ran wires directly to the battery so I get power to my bed independently with a switch and battery voltage meter with two USB connectors to charge my other equipment headlamps and phone.

Great looking truck. People totally overlook the full-size for a lot of reasons that really don’t make sense or are invalid. You hit in a couple of key points. Much better fuel capacity AND better fuel economy. More space. Comfort! With a Tacoma, you go up in tire size and add stuff to the bed, you’ve totally maxed out what that truck can do. Gears, suspension, major money. A half ton eats it up no problem, especially Ford. Highest payload.

Is a Ice cream scoop and wisk needed?

I just bought these and was hoping for someone who also tows for some ratings on them, and YOU DELIVERED!!!! Thank you so much and mad respect, love the truck brother!

As someone who's gone from a Tacoma, to a Land Cruiser, and now currently tinkering with a 5.0 Lariat F-150, it's refreshing to see someone breaking the mold on the traditional 'overland' vehicle. Topper = gained cargo space, but an added expense and reduced gas mileage. Billie bars and Tonneau = sunk costs and the convenience of a truck bed when needed, but constantly playing packing Tetris. A never-ending game of trade-offs 🤪

Ill pass on a dual turbo v6 in a full size truck

New follower that loved this video! Thanks for sharing.

I want Icon on my f150, but my wallet says rough country😂 also my truck has 176k on it. Don’t want to dump to much money into it

This is great. I'm shopping for a 4Runner and was worried about how to do a chuckbox. Really digging the modularity of the Packout system. With this same kit I could put my kitchen stuff in a 4Runner whereas right now it is the toolbox of my aluminum camper shell.

I have been looking for videos that show this set up off. Thanks.

How do you get companies to send you stuff with less than 2k subs? Also I think out of all the mods you’ve done on the truck a winch would’ve been a better setup. For example you won’t need those traction boards and shovel and whatever else recovery gear you’ve got. And they can be hidden. Just an idea.

Nice setup just be aware mosquito spray with deet will melt plastic

I always go to the carousel of progress because AC. I use it to take a break its dark, cold, decent music and theres never a waiting line. Max i ever wait is 10 minutes. Theres not many people there so its a mega saver for me and my family. Its nice to get away from the crowd sometimes. Personally never experienced a malfunction so maybe i got lucky.

I honestly thought he was going to show how he had a cooker or fridge in those. Don't misunderstand me, I too have a packout setup... but they are modular plastic 'storage' boxes. They don't take on the identity of what you put in them.

Who makes the green bin?

What’s the offset on your wheels ?

Such a great idea, i was just starting to come up with a draw kitchen in my truck cap. This is a 100% better idea as i can just take it out set in the garage and have full use of my truck box when needed. Like other comments i read, just earned a subscriber!!

Great review

Nice I’m going to check those out Lowe’s sells that’s brand

I did similar on my f150. Ran a 25ft long sae cable from battery to tailgate and use it to run my diesel heater or fridge if I don't have my ecoflow

Nice setup, simple is good. Could you give us some info on the relay and how you connected it with the line from the fuse box and the power cables? Looking forward to more videos!

This is awesome! Now I have some kind of idea how to do this on my f150!

Well done 👍 I assume that the power from the truck power port you added in your bed gets plugged into the yellow XT60 port on the back of the EcoFlow via the supplied 12v to XT60 cord with the River2 Max? That method limits you to ~100W max charging, but with the gauge of wire you used that is appropriate. I upgraded to the River2 Pro when I got a fridge/freezer and started using the freezer portion of it. Both are great power stations though.

Great idea but maybe 9 minutes too long. js.

This actually a great idea. Made a pullout kitchen in place of 2/3 of my rear seats and its great, but def not enough room for everything. I can put this on top and store all my extra crap. Subscribing

Great set-up, Cole. LOVE that kitchen box. Cheers! 🍻

Which engine do you have in that bad boy

We love our diesel heater! You should consider picking up one of the Coleman ovens. Hands down one of our all-time cooking devices. Not to mention it packs up small. Wonderful for doing reheats on leftovers. We also found a round Pyrex pie dish works the best. Of course, it's heavy and glass. Awesome for cooking biscuits, Tombstone pizzas, and cinnamon rolls..Ok I'll stop there getting hungry 😋 🛻+⛺️=🙂!

Pinstripes are how u know the truck actually gets used

How are your phasers doing :/. Ford dealership tech here…..

Thanks for sharing dude, you know you inspired me to get an F-150? I got it in December. For now I’m enjoying the truck(stock) and saving to get an Armadillo too, it’s so cool. Keep it up!
