Like sksman said, the klim heated gloves are the gloves to get. FXR gloves are way too stiff in general. klim gloves are the best!

A tall windshield is what you need! Lol I think I can squeeze another season out of my gloves, and then I’m upgrading to heated gloves. Hate the $400+ price tags on them though

Dejardins is the answer for having your kids operate without a drivers license. both my kids (12 & 14) will be running the bravo this year with their operators license.

3 permits this year. Both kids will have their licenses, so they’re on the bravo this year.

RTK 2up seat is what I’ve used for the past couple seasons, works well and it’s very easy to install. Also has a good sized storage compartment. I rode with the 4yr old in-front of me and my boy on the back. 3up sucks, so the 83’ bravo is finally going on the trails this year for the 12 & 14yr olds so I won’t be doing that anymore lol.

I ordered 2 rubber skid bushings for my 2018 viper back in March, I was told they were on back order until May. Still nothing yet. About another 10,000km with my viper, I’ll be done with Yamaha for good, not because I want to, but because parts are already an issue. Eventually it’ll be just the guys stripping sleds that will have parts.

I would love it if Toyota would make a proper 3/4 ton

Ya around there, my best was 13L per 100 it gets cut in half at a minimum when towing heavy, but man does it ever tow nice!

The 6.0L is a very reliable, been refined over the years and has proven to be a solid winner. I’m sure some people have had problems with them, but for the most part the engine just works. Definitely not a winner in the mileage department, but what big block is?

Yes, definitely the loser for mileage. mine is ok if I’m not towing, it’s when I’m hauling around 5-6ton is when it starts to get a little thirsty.

I need a 3/4 ton for work. But I have decided to keep my 6.0L I know a guy that has one of those 3.0L diesel’s and it’s phenomenal on fuel. I wish I could say the same about my truck lol

That’s right, you’re going to find sick people at hospitals and problems on the Internet. I want to know of these potential problems before spending $40-$50k to get into a new truck. The 4.8. 5.3 and 6.0l engines were all bullet proof engines. I had a 4.8 and beat the piss (worked hard) out of it for 325,000km. They shouldn’t have stopped producing that one either. never owned a 5.3 but they were good before they started designing them to shut down to 4cyls. Big problems with that and still ongoing with the new ones. my 6.0L has been flawless and has also been worked its whole life so far. We got the last year of the 6.0L. I’m afraid if we trade it in, I’ll end up with the known 6.6L engine issues, that by the sounds of it, they still haven’t addressed. And with the 6.6L only being introduced in 2020, it sounds like they still have some work to do on it. I can’t stand ford, dont like the interior or exterior, im sure they’re solid trucks, just don’t like the looks of them.

Great, so GM knows about it and won’t fix it, and now they’re building a new engine that’s going to take 3-4yrs more to get all the bugs out of it? Just wonderful…. they should’ve never stopped producing the 6.0L

I was looking at ram, but they’re having tranny issues. I know a couple guys that bought new and tranny went around 20,000km

I currently have a 2500HD Silverado with the 6.0L gas engine. It’s been flawless and is a very reliable and proven engine. It has 125,000kms on it and still runs like a top. Im considering upgrading to a new truck but the not the 6.6L gas is offered now. I’ve heard of faulty plugs and some of them needing to add oil constantly due to bad rings and seals. just wondering if anyone has one, what your experience is, or if anyone knows that maybe these issues have been resolved for MY25?
