This thread is a break-off from the original topic found here --> 2016 Spring Group Ride - Pioneer Takeover - April 8 & 9th - Royal Blue!

Here please discuss any lodging and travel plans you may have with each other. This way the ride thread can be a tad bit shorter with all travel plans found here.

Thanks.

We might could work something out. Coming thru north Alabama?

Anyway, I don't think two pioneers will fit on a 16' trailer. I've got a 20' and it's tight for two.

I don't have a pic of two pioneers on it but this will give you an idea.



We still might could work it out though.

Hotel information:

Yes there is a Comfort Inn right off at Exit 141 I-75 about 10 min from campground which is at Exit 144 I-75 then 4 miles of rural road. I've stayed there a few time very nice place and Trail #12 comes out right by there. You could ride out from motel on SXS but its about 40 min by trail to RRB campground.

I don't see how you pull all that with the F150. I've pulled the pioneer and 1 foreman on 16' with F150 it didn't do good going up hills.

 

[joeymt33]

Here's my f150 pulling 13k. It performs like a champ!



I also haul a 8.5' x 16' enclosed with work equipment.

The Ecoboost is an awesome engine. Combine that with the Torqshift and it a great combo.

My Ecoboost is putting out 528ftlb and 430hp. So that helps. 3.55:1 gears, 10 ply 34" tall michelins with upgraded rear springs. I'm always got 500-600 lbs in the bed. Maintain 18mpg interstate and 20-21 on 55-60 highways.

Was it ecoboost?

 

[scott]

No 5.4L 4x4 2006... My buddy pulled it all home dodge 2500 diesel. That's what i'm getting next. It was nothing for that dodge huge differance

 

[Tflynn]

Ha never mind we posted at the same time I guess @joeymt33

 

[Tflynn]

No 5.4L 4x4 2006

That ecoboost is supposed to be awesome. From those numbers Joey just gave, it's like what a diesel was in the early to mid 2000's, with a bit more horsepower

 

[scott]

Going to royal blue ford coming home the dodge. The dodge had a atv in truck bed too.. Pioneer and foreman on trailer but can't see the foreman.

Yeah, I had a custom tune written from 5 star performance. Made a huge difference. I don't tow with the performance tune in though, that might be pushing it.

Turbo is the way to go. I was a nitrous guy when I raced bikes but few years ago I stuck td04 turbo on my lil 99 Neon. And that's the most fun car I've ever owned. I was always looking for excuses to run to the store lol.

Yea i agree that's why i want the dodge diesel.. I would love to get the turbo kit for my jeep but it's like 6k lol i could buy an atv for that or a lot of guns and ammo.

I built mine from scratch for right at 1300 bucks. Most stuff was bought used except for wideband and piggyback controller. Mine was easy due to stock srt4 setup bolting right on my 2.0 head. Anyhow, I apologize to admins for the distraction. Back on subject!! Lol

We love our 2013 D-Max. 17mpg average day to day. 13mpg dragging our 32' 5th wheel travel trailer,staying around 65 mph.

Maybe one across the front of trailer, and one on the back. I'll check on positionING one across the front when is get back home.
