Ford F150 vs Toyota Tundra “tow hooks” comparison

This video compares the different placement of the tow hooks on the Ford F150 versus the Toyota Tundra. Again, this video appears to have been produced by Ford representives.

Ford F150 vs Toyota Tundra vs Chevy Silverado “bed bounce” comparison

This video shows a comparison between the Ford F150, Toyota Tundra, and the Chevy Silverado in regard to “bed bounce”. They show video of the three trucks driving down a test course they designed called “Silver Creek” on their proving grounds in Arizona. This video appears to have been made as a sales tool for Ford so don’t take it as gospel…

Bumped…

It’s just like racing in the BAJA1000 but it’s a HUMMER in Iraq…

New Trip In The Planning Stages

Hello all. I just wanted to let you know that I’m in the planning stages of my next trip. This trip will be to Jalisco Mexico. This will be a road trip so for the next few months I will be detailing all the preperation needed to make this journey. Since this site is all about family travel, I will definately include all the extra steps involved for a family of four. I have two small children ages 3 and 6 and none of us have ever attempted such a long drive. I have talked to someone that has experience driving to the state of Jalisco Mexico and they usually make it in 2 days which includes stopping for the night at about the half way point.

some of the things I will be covering in upcoming installments include route planning, getting passports, vehicle maintenance/preperation, lodging, itenirary, and of course back up plans for anything that can go wrong.

 If you have any suggestions please leave comments. If you have a story you would like to share, please email it to me at kingerick+readertravelstory@gmail.com and I will post it on the site so we can all learn from your experiences.
