Andre, has come a long way.. I remember when tfl made him do the silly Russian videos...

I think the first TFL video I watched was a Subaru getting stuck in a snowstorm. I remember Andre just yelling stuff in Russian, thinking it was kinda weird but funny. I now know it was just an act, and glad Andre has become a staple of the TFL team.

That’s fancy. And here I am just sleeping on the floor in the back seat of my crew cab F-150 next to my refrigerator and all in one battery system I charge from the inverter when running or a folding solar panel otherwise. I get a little better MPG with the 2.7L EcoBoost.

Anas saleh thirty K would buy a lot of Mustang. With two or more people this does seem like a good high end option though, so, yes, if I was going to get a truck camper this or something similar would be at the top of my list. However, I’d need a different truck-my 2019 2.7L crew cab short bed F-150 (I bought doing research on TFL, Ford) is too soft for a camper-more of a tippy car feel.

Of all of the vehicles TFL has built or bought, this has become my favorite! I wonder if the 4.30 gears would have given better fuel economy with the camper.

Robb M they didn’t do 4.30 with 37’s. Dumb

I watch almost all of TFL's truck content, but this series is my favorite so far.

Don't forget to get a coffee at that general store, it's really good!

This company is awesome. Ive been looking at Van Conversions. This may be better. Thanks Andre for showing me important details of the truck.

I’m hyped for this trip, and I ain’t even going, my trip (hopefully) is travelling from Newcastle to Plymouth, jumping on a ferry, over a 10 day period riding from Northern Spain to south and back up back on the ferry and back to Newcastle in September, all on a 2019 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro

Two points; 1) Was that an actual arrest, or a police fan having some fun? 2) Andre is the best presenter on the TFL crew.

This is a really neat setup and if I were a single guy this would be a top choice. I do have one question though. If you tied Andrea’s hands behind his back, could he still talk? Sorry Andrea, I couldn’t resist! You did an outstanding job on this video.

We may have to give this a try😉

It would be great to see a break down of price from the lift/installation cost and the cost of the trailer.

Pilot or Loves should sponsor you guys ;)

I remember as a kid we had a Ford F-250 Camper Special with an in bed. (Similar but no pop-up) we had a great time in that as a family. On one trip my brothers and I were horsing around up top and broke a window. My dad was not a happy camper when glass fell down on the hood while he was driving down the road.

Well done! Andre has some of the best reviews on this channel. Absolutely immaculate

Awesome video tfl! I cant wait for more road trip camping videos to follow! I am saving up for a stock crew cab one ton short bed and the best pop up camper on the market....the Alaskan 7 footer with toilet, it's own electric system and batteries and hard sides for winter! Thanks and keep the cool videos flowing!

I got one of those Ridge Wallets for Father’s Day. I normally just carried my cards loose in my pocket to minimize the wallet bulge. Once I got the wallet loaded up it fit nicely into my front pocket, holds cash without it moving around. It’s super high quality materials and they warranty it for life. Just my experience with it.

Range: ~390 highway miles, and less on dirt. I'd want an aux tank. What a beautiful rig--and great video.

Great vid!!! Thanks for the tour Four Wheel Campers 👍🏽

Love your new rig! So glad you went with the Ford truck! Heavy duty as any truck could be in my opinion. Of course I'm a Ford man ♥️ used to work on a Ford race team Roush Fenway Racing. My life revolves around Fords

I like how technical he is on how the Bed has dropped when the camper was on, nobody else thinks of that

great series andre...beautiful 4w pop up....and great truck....very excited with this series...best one

I was just thinking it was past time to have an in-depth video of the camper. Perfect!

Andre, you can keep the wallet! I want that camper....and that truck!! Thanks for another great video!!

Keep up great work TFL. Best channel on KZread

Good One Andre...dig the new camper ... cant’ wait to see next adventure.

I think this is really cool and the Gladiator too but the Trail Boss should tag along on the trip also

Chevrolet is too cheap with standard and available equipment on the Trail Boss.....no electric locker in the rear differential...no option to have an electric locker in the front differential.....no winch....Class 2 (2500) not available with the Trail Boss...and no option for the new 6.6L engine. To be fair, Ford does not offer an electric locker in the front differential either...not even in the new Tremor Package...but they should. It appears that Dodge and Jeep are the only manufacturer's that offer what many consumers want direct from the factory.....and that is electric lockers in both the front and rear differentials. Even with the multiple speed automatic transmissions...all the companies should offer more choice in gear ratios.....Ford should offer 4.10:1 and Dodge should offer 4.30:1.

WOW. what a beast! very beautiful videos as always! Ciao from Italy...

Love this series already

That was a real good video. I think the no pavement needed series is going to be good too.

Shades of Motor Mountain USA. I loved that series, and I'm gonna love this.

Looking forward to watching this series.

The Trans American Trail is tuff in places for an adventure bike, so this going to be interesting.

20:05 Whoah! That's not too bad.... If you're in a Winnebago..

Very nice setup!

That's definitely high quality, very impressive

Man y'all have turned that Ford into an awesome overlanding rig

Great video Andre!

i love the video, tks Andre!

I wonder if you tuned the truck, how much better the mpg would be?

Andre that's what the backseat is for...😂😂 happy camping

It's a pity that I would not be able to partake in the treasure hunt ☹️ - really enjoyed the rig with the camper ontop

Awesome build!!!

Yo! I see you are cruising through my neck of the woods in South Dakota!

I hope you will publish the trip data like GPS track here so we can better follow your awesome journey.

I'd like to see the split on the fill ups because going from CA to CO involves lots of mountains and a net elevation rise. Time to do your normal MPG loop with this thing for comparison.

I live in San Jose ca my trucks getting a new clutch and Hamilton cam I should have it back by next week I’ll take a road trip to see if I can find it I always wanted to go threw monument valley area and Grand Canyon this is more of a reason to head that way 🤙

It’s interesting that you guys went with the gas engine. If I ever were to get a HD gas truck for off-roading it would have to be a PW, but this helps me decide whether to spend an extra $10k on a diesel or not just to get 5mpg more for long distance trips. I don’t tow much and when I do it’s not even close to 10,000 lbs so diesel isn’t necessary for me.

@15Jeep

The Power Wagon with 6.4L would be a good choice for off-road with limited and infrequent towing needs. The Ford Tremor with 7.3L is still a good choice...a bit stronger on the towing and a bit less with off-road capability...but that can be rectified with a Carli suspension and the Fox 2.0 or King 2.5 shocks. You might consider air bags to supplement the coil springs on the rear suspension of the Power Wagon.....to hold payload and or towing weight when needed.

Great camper Andre 👍

Hello Andre’! Man sometimes I envy you! I’m wondering what the outcome would be with a PowerStroke Diesel would be? Or a Power Wagon, modified to also carry that fine pop up truck camper, or even a Silverado 2500, modified totally the same way as the Super Duty has been.

Nice truck!

Andre did you check under the backseat for a Ford included hitch adapter? RAM includes theirs under the backseat and I'm sure Ford probably does the same.

Love this truck

With Camper 11.4 mpg , 13.3 mpg no camper with lift and big tires, and 15.5 mpg stock. Not bad. This truck can get into the backwoods unlike a tall pop top van like Sportsmobile.

There is Four Wheel Pop-Up Campers showroom/dealer/installer in Colorado... Loved the video, excited about the series, seems a bit far to go just for the MPG test :-).

Hey, I saw you and your truck on Tincup pass last week. We were in my Kawasaki Teryx 4 and wife in our 570.

Looks exciting Andre. Enjoy your adventure; will be watching. I’m confident this is a well built camper. Did you ever look at a Northern Lite Camper? Take care otherwise.

Would be awesome to see you guys traveling with this truck and a RAM Prospector!

What accessories do you have under the hood to provide better performance...i.e. air filter, boost tubes ,.exhaust pipes, exhaust manifold...things to help the truck with peak performance...?

I have watched your segment on love/hate 2020 Super Duty. Your "hates" could have been alleviated a little by picking a truck that optioned differently. You should not have chosen a 3.55 gear set, but rather gone with the 4:30. That would have helped tremendously. Just one example of a few that a different choice would have made a difference.

Like the concept of the Four Wheel camper.....and it is awesome! However, the cost is outrageous.....even though it is unique. Compare to a nice travel trailer or 5th wheel.....much larger...way more materials and substantially more labor time to build, but the cost does not reflect both of those factors when comparing to the cost of the Four Wheel camper. On the other hand.....IF the Four Wheel camper was made of a two part composite body similar to the Earthroamer.....the cost would be justifiable.

This is my dream truck !!!!

Cool rig, man

Nice setup. Thanks for doing these videos on the new 7.3 gasser. Do you know what the wet weight of the camper is? Inquiring minds want to know...Lol

Love the camper. I’ll be getting the same one soon. What are the specs on your rims and tires?

I have a 2018 lifted chevy colorado with a huge 1400lb camper and I get 16mpg with the V6. You don't need a huge truck to build an overland rig. I got offroading in my rig and transmission temps never go above 170 degrees.

Good Morning My Good Friends Of The Fast Lane Trucks

Andre, let me know when your in northern Oklahoma, I would love to meet you on your adventures!

You need to redo your gas mileage test after you pack the trailer with your gear, and water. That’s going to add even more weight.

@ShredGarage

4 жыл бұрын

Mark Ely a super duty wont get effected by weight a whole lot. Mainly the aerodynamics. I doubt they’ll lose much more mpg with weight.

Thanks Andre for the detailed video I really appreciate it. I know things seem to be getting back to normal but you really should be wearing a mask, just in case you never really know

cool truck

What a rig! Is there room for a bigger gas tank on that truck? It doesn't seem like it has much range, especially with all the mods. That first gas station wasn't California...

I like the low profile. Is there solar or how the batteries just get charged from alternator?

Just when I was starting to get a bit bored with TFL you totally redeem yourself! Really looking forward to this series. I was a little surprised with the poor fuel mileage though. How fast were you driving? My lifted on 35's, tuned and deleted '08 Duramax gets almost 20 MPG if I keep it around 70 MPH. Even at 80 MPH on I-70 across UT and CO I can pull 17 MPG and that's with a camper on the back.

Is it a Class 1 (1500), Class 2 (2500) or Class 3 (3500) truck? 2. What gear ratios are in the front and rear differentials? 3. What brand and size of tire?
