Truck camper

[tx2sturgis]

This is the pickup as I bought it, no topper yet. It should be about 2 weeks for the shell to come in.

And pulling the cargo trailer I bought last year and I have it partially completed inside. 

My current Ford van has the smallest V8, it gets good mileage but is not very good at pulling this trailer.

This new pickup fixes that problem. It's got plenty of pulling power, a 5.6L V8, almost 400 horsepower, and 4 wheel drive. 7 speed automatic, with tow-mode. I got a very good deal on a new closeout 2017 model. Plus five year, 100,000 mile warranty.

Nissan Titan XD, which is what we used to call a 'heavy half'...not quite a 3/4 ton, but still rated at 11,000 pounds trailering and nearly 3000 pounds payload.

I took the pickup with the trailer on a test ride today, pulling some long grades, with a 25 mph headwind and it performed flawlessly. 

Wait for it.....wait for it....

I'm one happy camper!
