That's pretty cool. Does it hook under the back crossbar?

Nope its fixed with L-bolts thru siderail hole but many are fixing it on the rear crossbar though

2012 Ford Explorer pulls my 18 ft Nitro plenty well.

2013 F350 to pull my ranger currently. I did like my Chevy with a 8ft bed, it fit the yak perfect, sucked pulling the boat.

you won't have any trouble finding your truck in a Nor'easter! 

Nor will any members have trouble finding me at fishing grounds!  Toyota calls it Inferno Orange .... good name since I'm a Firefighter ...

I have a 4runner too. How do you like the Showdown? Is it noisy?  What cross bars are you running?

I'm running the Timberline towers, and Jetstream cross bars. I like the whole setup a lot, keeps my truck from getting banged up when loading, and makes it a lot easier to load in general. I don't notice any extra noise or mpg loss, the 4runner isn't really aerodynamic in general lol.

Although I prefer the 19 look over the 18 models, I wasn't exactly looking to upgrade from my 14 Z71.  My 14 had a 7.5" lift and 22s with 35s on it.  It was a tank!  I must admit that the new one rides so much smoother than the old one though ?

Edit:  The reason I got the 19 is due to my transfer case and tranny starting to slip ?  I did have a few issues with the 14, but I bought it well-used (100k miles when I got it).  I had to fix the AC, compressor and condenser.  That was a headache to do on my own, but I'm a DIY'er through and through.

 

The 2020 hd models are catching my eye, but I know most people disregard the new look.

Beautiful truck. I have a 99 with over 300k, same color. Original motor and trans. It’s been all over the country fishing, since dad had it. I bought a 12 f150 in 15, it stays in the garage. I just cannot part with the 99. I know it like the back of my hand.

Man that 14 sounds like a dream haha. Love the look of those, but with those issues popping up never hurts to upgrade into something newer, plus having the warranty is a plus!

Last month, I posted my tow vehicle, a 2003, red, Ford F-150. A couple of days ago, I retired the old truck and replaced it with a new, 2019 F150. A cap and bedrug are on order. Haven’t even hooked it up to a boat yet.

 My everyday ride is my fishing vehicle. My kayak fits on top no problems.

 

Great gas mileage and I need it. I put a little over 100 miles a day on it 5 days a week,

I’m amazed at some of your older trucks with low miles. I put 25k/year on mine and don’t leave a 50 mile radius more than a few times a year.

Company vehicle helps a ton! Once I started driving one my truck might only move once a week.
