How do you like the Atlas? It's a contender to replace our aging Traverse.The FAtlas and my GTS187

The "slippery ramp" tow rating will however go down. Just something to consider...I know the 2020 Ford Explorer is going back to RWD. With this maybe the tow ratings will go up.
Still be looking at 4wd, just stating they are ditching FWD and going to RWD. Which is great as I can’t stand FWD vehicles, I grew up with RWD.The "slippery ramp" tow rating will however go down. Just something to consider...

I still have not used that option, I keep thinking about it but I never take the time.2018 F150, handles everything I throw at it.
One feature I didn't really want, but now use all the time is the backup assist. Grew up.on a farm so backing up trailers is nothing new to me, but for the trip down a long ramp or for wiggling the boat into a tight spot, it now makes the job even easier!

Medium duty to haul to the ramp. The Jeep lives at the river with the boat.

Is that the strings on the cover? I had a giant pvc structure i used before i had a cover. My awning leaks a tiny bit so i figured I'd try just my strings out the vent holes.Nice.
I like your Hangtyte DIY, too!!

Yeah, that's the idea! Very clever to use those vents for attachments. Wouldn't work on mine as they are right over the windshield (I looked, lol).Is that the strings on the cover?
