i used to have a F150 heavy duty, it does its job but reliability sucks. By the time it reach 160k, rear seals leaks, and can barely get up Stony Trail (Southbound going up Beacon Hill). Also, american truck overrated their towing capacity, the way they rate their towing capacity is based on half tank gas, 0 passenger while Toyota tested it with real world facts like having passengers, loaded up the truck bed and full tank of gas. I was looking for 3/4 ton chevy but ended up with a 2nd gen Tundra towing my 28' trailer, my truck is 210k and it's going strong. Only thing i don't like is the small gas tank, glad to hear the new Tundra has a bigger gas tank than the older ones. Also watch out for trailer weight, what RV dealer posted is dry weight (not including water, luggage, batteries, propane tank), by the time you added all these, the posted weight of 3000 become 4000. My 2 cents and 15 years of trailer towing experience.
TBH all companies overrate their towing capacity. I've been towing trailers, boats, etc... for many years. A good rule of thumb for safety and comfortable towing is your towing weight should not be over 60% of your truck towing capacity.
We love watching your channel. However, you are providing wrong information on how to safely tow a trailer. All you mention was towing capacity. You failed to mentioned the most important thing. The payload of your truck and tongue weight of your trailer. This greatly affects your ability to tow. Weight distribution hitch and anti-sway bars are also something you can add. Please research payloads and learn about it before producing another video on towing a trailer.
When it comes to towing safely, there are many many factors involved. We are in no way professionals and so are the vast majority of our viewers. Going too technical could be very intimidating for people who are interested in getting into the RV world. Our videos have always been providing intro to the topics, if interested, viewers have to do their own research. We do have stabilizing hitch and plan our weight distribution, we just don’t want this video to be too long and deep. Speaking of payload, our model is a travel trailer so towing capacity is more important. If you’re towing a fifth-wheel when the unit is directly adding weight onto the truck bed, certainly payload is a huge factor to consider. We do our research based on our rig and experience, we can’t possibly do research for all trailer and vehicle styles.
Agreed!! I don't think anyone will take your videos as professional advice. We (retired HK couple moved to US 20+ years ago) bought our 16x 7.5 ft enclosed trailer in 2019. In about one year time, we converted it to a travel trailer with full bath/kitchen, grey/black/fresh water tanks, Electric water heater, 500W solar and a DIY 280AH LiFePO4 battery. We were lucky that we had a TUNDRA TRP PRO day one and been towing the trailer just fine. Since then, we have been traveling with it with countless memorial moments in yellow stone, Rockies/Jasper/Banff, PEI, Alcan Highway and Alaska. Canada has much better national park system than anything similar in US. Maybe due to the same reason, US's private campgrounds are relatively better in general than those in Canada. To really experience the beauties of both countries, RV is perfect and sometime a must-have!! Thanks for your sharing and most lovely is listening to those familiar topics in HK Cantonese. Keep going!!
@@9al9al i echo what you said about Tundra, too bad they don't make V8 anymore. My retirement plan is to travel across North America (US and Canada) .. glad you did all the upgrade to your trailer and modified it. @HK-er_in_Canada, welcome to Calgary and just stumbled on your video and love them, espeically it's in my native language Cantonese.

jeep cherokee拖2500lbs teardrop.星期六拿trailer🎉
Congrats!! Have a ton of fun!
下一個日標要買隻釣魚船 Bass boat 👍👍, 完美美加生活
我哋啲狗唔太鍾意坐船😭😭
hello你們好,多謝你們的分享,拖rv我會盡量小心👍
Enjoy the RV💛
Ultimately 5th wheeler tow by 1 ton diesel.
Not us! We’re looking to have more mobility and freedom to go wild camping later on, so we’ll probably downsize to Class B or C
我係用FJ Cruiser 拖 R-Pod 192。上山都OK，只係要慢啲,但唔需要過4千 RPM 或redline.
Tacoma普通上山坡都唔係問題㗎，只係嗰次上唔記得係15%定20%坡嘅山，地板油上咗5-10分鐘先體驗到咩叫極限🤣
Heavy duty pickup truck 美國車可能有個advantage, 傳統上美國heavy duty pickup 用者多數係農場, 戶外生活同喜歡拖trailer 旅行嘅人....早期日本pickup 係俾人扮嘢用....不過而家一定改好咗喇😂😂😂
年紀大，接受能力未行到咁前🤣我哋仲觀望緊美國車
以前係架trailer拖住你架大姑媽，而家先至係架tundra拖番架trailer，真正食力💪
真係爭好遠吓😅
Where were you guys, the leaves had already turned yellow.😧
Tundra 💪towed the space shuttle(NASA) to the museum after it retired.
We were camping in BC in this video~
Good information
💪💪 拖RV嘅車買時真係要話俾dealers 知過用途. 聽講架車車俾 mechanic 將車扭力調校至合適拖RV, something like 高扭力底轉速... anyway, 只係亂講, 自己对呢方面一啲都唔識😂😂
完成唔知有依個設定，學到嘢感激👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
learn your GVM and GCM. towing capacity mean nothing
肥仔嘅坐姿好誘人
佢自己都睇到心跳加速🤣
好正!
下次可唔可以分享吓有咩驚險遭遇？嚟如遇見猛獸，危險環境？
所以帶埋幾隻🐕🐕🐕, 有實際用途😂😂
無錯，最猛最惡就係我哋幾隻狗🤣
we are driving Tundra TRD pro
Woo....nice vehicle👍🏽👍🏽
肥仔對長腿真係無話可說😂😂
嗱，唔好J太多，適可而止對身心都健康啲🤣👍🏽
你們買錯車tocoma 是用來走off-road ,我們在美國是用f250
我哋買Tacoma時都無諗過拖RV，只係覺得Pickup truck好型咋
Like!!!
多謝🤟🏽
Hi 想問吓你張folding table 邊度買？我岩岩都買咗camping trailer, 買咗一張枱但太高
我喺日本Montbell見到，唔想托返嚟所以喺Montbell US官網買~ Free shipping to Canada🇨🇦 呢張枱真係好正㗎有三種高度調教，枱面仲有淺色深色兩面，我有兩個朋友都比我毒咗🤭🤭
@@HKer_In_Canada 唔該晒！一陣上網睇吓先
睇咗，有兩張好似你個張，係$219 or $290 ?😝
@kawong4518 $290🙈it’s longer
想問下是否需要為部RV買保險？大約幾錢一年？謝謝你
Yes I think our trailer insurance is about $400/year
@@HKer_In_Canada thx
Why not F150?
始終未敢太相信美國車，仍需要啲時間😅
@@HKer_In_Canada TBH, American trucks has better performance and history than Japanese trucks.
身邊有朋友揸F150,都唔係無鑊氣...暫時仍然觀望😅
i used to have a F150 heavy duty, it does its job but reliability sucks. By the time it reach 160k, rear seals leaks, and can barely get up Stony Trail (Southbound going up Beacon Hill).
