Triple stacked on this day. My oldest son on the Pescador, and towed my youngest son on the Boss 12.

How do you Roll?  It’s not the roll that matters as much as the ability to use one these days.  With restrooms left in deplorable condition, or locked down, porta potty’s tipped over or just plain full, it’s not always easy to find relief before or after heading out on the water, on a long road trip or working in remote areas.  I don’t know about you but I find myself in these situations several times a week.
 
Out of necessity, I found a solution and this is HOW I ROLL:  I carry a 5 gallon bucket, Dunny Seat, plastic liners and a good roll or two in all my rigs.

Tips: Bring more liners than you think you’ll need, open a door on you rig and sit facing the interior of the vehicle (notice the seat will provide backside privacy), and last but not least – dispose of your waste bags as soon as you can, do not let them ferment!

I had fun writing this up hope you get a laugh out of it, but really, I have much more confidence driving 400 miles, fishing a new spot, or working in the wilderness than I did before the miniscule investment.

Roll on my friends!

great recommendation!  but then there is stage fright

Got my baby on board, heading to the cove.

Bought my Dads 06' CRV when he got a new one. I was thinking about buying a beater truck to haul my yak but this came at the right price and I can store everything I need inside!

Miss my 05 crv

Do you find that it's easier loading it on the truck bed rack vs car topping or pretty much the same? I'm also in a CRV and while it's not difficult top loading it, anything easier will give me more of an excuse for a truck  :smt003

i have been very happy with it! comfy to drive, and very capable. more power and torque than a v6 tacoma, better mpgs and towing too.

7500lb towing, I get 20mpg mixed towing and normal city driving.
270hp @ 310ft lb in the ranger vs 270 @ 280ft lb in the v6 tacoma

Ford also sells a tune that maintains warranty and is CA legal for 320hp and 360ft lbs.

The 10 speed tranny (same as f150) is a beast.

Can confirm. My BIL traded his 2010 Ranger with the 4.0l/auto for a 2021 with the 4cyl/10spd auto. I drove both (to Shelter and back) and the 2021 actually has better acceleration/feels more powerful. The only downside is the roof height/tailgate height. It feels like a lifted 4wd when it is a standard 2wd.
I'm old enough to learn to drive without cameras, so relying on a screen is counter intuitive to me. But you have to use it because with a cap on the truck the rear viz is terrible. BUT, the camera provides great viz once you are used to backing up with it and lets you avoid flattening little old ladies that walk behind a backing truck in a random Santa Barbara Bevmo parking lot.
 Towing package is beastly.

crazy part is the tow package is just a hitch.  Nothing else- truck can tow 7500 without an intercooler or special anything. it should be fine for a long time I hope.  I went with the bed rack so its a bit easier to see around..

for trailer brakes I use a Curt Bluetooth controller

It is tall, but tbh i like that more than the trucks that feel like cars... i came from a 1500 suburban tho, so i prefer a tall stance and like to see over traffic. a good solution to the 2wd issue is to get the 4x haha especially if you're going on boat ramps
