Showing my wife our homestead land for the first time!
Checking out our new property with my wife for the first time. I came out to see the land after we got our offer accepted but my wife had never seen the property until today.

Stud or Dud? 2 year review of Rivian R1T EV [2022 model]
Переглядів 1 тис.21 день тому
In this video I interview my friend about his ownership experience with the Rivian R1T electric truck. He shares his honest experience owning this truck for over two years with roughly 35k miles. I can tell you firsthand, this truck is FAST! And it looks way better than a Tesla Cybertruck, but that's just my opinion.
Surprising my son with a Jeep
Переглядів 3021 день тому
Our son is turning two this week and so I purchased a used Best Choice Products Jeep Wrangler Ride-on toy (Walmart's version of Powerwheels). I swapped the 12v battery for a new one with 15 amp hours which will more than double the 6 am hour battery that came with the toy from the factory. We tried this out on grass, dirt, and it worked best on pavement (no surprise).

You don't need a powerbroom to make your turf look great! Use a shopvac instead and you'll suck up whatever leaves and debris is keeping your fake lawn look dirty.

In this video, I discuss my likes and dislikes of my 2023 Ford F350 Diesel. I have enjoyed owning this truck so far, so much that I sold my other truck, a 2017 Toyota Tundra because I just didn't drive it much.
Sold the Tundra for $22,000
Переглядів 811Місяць тому
I’m selling the Tundra because I don’t drive it much anymore now that I got a new F350. This truck has 112k miles, clean title and is in great shape. I have all maintenance records for it since I bought it 5 years ago from the dealer with 38k miles. Tires have 80% left. Brakes were done at 100k miles, tinted with ARE TW series cap and Decked Bed Drawer system. Contact me at russellrlayton@gmail...

Honda Ridgeline Tows Travel Trailer [R-POD Tour]
Переглядів 929Місяць тому
In this video, I give you a little tour of my buddy's trailer rental. Nathan has a Honda Ridgeline that has a tow capacity of 5,000 pounds. Though he normally tent camps, he figured a mid-summer camping trip (with a baby) would be more pleasant in a travel trailer, so he rented an R-Pod from Outdoorsy.

Coleville Walker KOA Review: Gorgeous Campground in Mono County, CA
Переглядів 1692 місяці тому
In this video, I share our recent experience camping at the Coleville/Walker KOA which is nestled in between Mammoth, CA and Lake Tahoe, CA. Located off Highway 395 near Topaz Lake, this campground offers a good spot to explore the preserved mining town of Bodie State Park or to fish the Walker River. It's also only an hour south of beautiful Lake Tahoe. Our campsite featured an awesome 10' x 1...

Unfortunately, RVs are prone to issues and just about everyone knows that. I have noticed that the landing gear on this fifth wheel have seemed really slow and also like it struggles or skips sometimes like a gear is worn down. After trying to take the fifth wheel off my truck this afternoon to store it, it stopped moving up completely as it seems the motor or gearing gave out. Fortunately, thi...
Should have got the dually?? #payloadlimit
Переглядів 2682 місяці тому
In this video I go over the payload numbers on my specific truck and break down why it's crucial to look at payload numbers, not just trailer tow rating. This F350 diesel is rated to tow roughly 23,600 pounds, so I figured even with my 14,000 pound fifth wheel I'd have no problems getting close to my payload limits. Fortunately, I have a little payload to spare, but not a whole lot!

Nice, good luck
Thanks!
Beautiful property! It's literally a dream! I would go with a full-size skidsteer for that property personally
Thanks brotha! A skid steer would be pretty awesome but tractors are more affordable I believe and the implements appear to be cheaper as well.
@RollingWithRuss Do what's best for you boss!
Congratulations Russ!! I am happy for you and your family.
Well said Russ!
Thanks!
Love it man. All well said. Great message.
Thanks, Justin!
Do you have your customers sign an agreement releasing you of all liability? What does licensing cost over all? What does the law require as far as things must have on your trailer to be legal?
Under 26k pounds the only licenses I need were for the City and County. So business licenses to operate in each municipality and or county I serve. The truck and trailer of course require commercial auto insurance which isn’t cheap.
So Safari mode with the sides up aren’t really meant to be driven like that at highway speeds. That’s why it’s flopping all around and the straps are loosening. Also why don’t you fold it all the way down when you tow? I feel like there are solutions to your complaints but you’re not using them. I run a soft topper on my Gladiator and if I need to haul something or want visibility I just fold it all the way down. I also only fold the sides up when I’m off road doing 30mph and under. But if it’s not for you, it’s not for you.
That’s a fair assessment. I liked the safari mode when transporting my dog in the back in his kennel but when it rained or snowed, I kept the sides down to keep him warm and dry. Unfortunately, that was sometimes the case while towing. But you’re right, it’s all about use case and I was probably just using it wrong.
Imagine if you had land to drop it on
It would have been way more profitable
I love my softopper. Had one on my tundra for 3years in Minnesota. It withstand the frigid cold weather very well. Just bought a second softopper for my other tundra. Softoppers are offordable and can withstand all sorts of weather. These things are stout. Highly recommend them!
Glad to hear you have been happy with yours. They are a good product and I think I may have been ignorant at the time I owned mine of how to best adjust it.
Thanks for having me on! Great video!
Thank you for doing the video Jason!
They do make a very cool car, but lack the technology of Tesla. Big difference.
Yea Tesla probably has way more money into their technology and more years of service to back up their data.
Your a good dad russ 🫡
Thank you, Andre! You will be a great father too!
@@RollingWithRuss 🙏
Hearing him say more was awesome! My nephew is 2 years old and he always says more 🤣
Haha that is so cute. Kids are so fun when they start talking.
Nice video Russ.
Thanks! 👍 Sometimes I wish I could press “pause” on time but it just keeps rolling on.
@@RollingWithRuss When is the big move to Indiana?
Great vid and information. I’m looking to start the same side gig in SoCal, maybe we can chat sometime.
Yeah for sure
Do do your own oil and fuel filter changes? You can do fuel filter changes for way cheaper than $450 if you do them yourself. And that’s using Motorcraft filters.
Haven’t yet but am not opposed to it. That said, my first three changes were “free” included with the purchase of the truck, so I have yet to pay for a full service myself.
Thanks for the video! Is it possible to run a safety pin or two into each of the straps to keep them from extending on their own?
That is a good idea, and to be honest I’m not sure but I don’t see why that wouldn’t work.
You’re getting better mpg than I get from my frontier… expletives come to my mind
Haha yea, I guess having 10 speeds and 3.31 gears probably helps quite a bit. But just remember you could by a few frontiers for the price of one of these trucks so rest at night knowing that haha
Make sure you replace the fuel filter and the top water separator within 8,000 miles
Thanks! Did the fuel filter but am not sure about the water separator. Gotta check that one.
I have a 2004 38' Cedar Creek and the pin weight is around 19%. CAT Scales are were manufacturer estimates are put to test.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
and my dads 2003 f250 6.0 go to high idle
Interesting, must be to warm up.
Can't believe I just watched a video of someone vacuming its lawn..
Haha UA-cam is a wild place
1200 torque? Did you misspeak or is that accurate?
500 horse, 1,200 torque is accurate. All with a factory 100k mile warranty for the Powerstroke motor and transmission. Pretty wild.
That the set up I would like to have. Love the way it’s outfitted. Just can’t justify the cost for a daily driver. Nice truck.
Thanks brother. Yea I love base trucks for some reason, just looks right to me. The new trucks have so many features anyways it’s like a fully loaded truck from 10 years ago in my opinion.
I got the same truck and love it. I too have sync issues with Apple CarPlay but it’s manageable for now. I get literally the same mileage as you at 4k miles
Sweet, glad you like the truck like I do. Overall I am a very happy owner given the mix of features and capability. Thanks for watching!
love mine i got a xlt 250 crew cab long bed with the HO 6.7. Mine also did the instrument cluster turn off then it came back on but said the drive mode weren't available which made me pull over and restart the truck since I was towing and didn't want to lose town/haul. It hasn't done it since. Mine does the carplay thing but its different it will just have no audio but reconnecting it usually fixes it. One time it did just crash carplay every 45seconds to a minute no matter what I did but again it did it once on my way home from work and hasn't done it since.
Haha gotta love ford electronics. Fortunately these issues seem to be inconsistent for both you and I, but we’m glad you like your truck like I do! They are pretty awesome. Thanks for watching!
From my experience using a new high quality usb cord makes a big difference with car play issues. I usually have to replace mine every 6 months or so because of disconnecting issues
Very valid point, that does really seem to help in my experience with my wife’s Honda CRV so I’m sure it would help here too.
It disconnects in the same places it something with pipelines or something interrupts ,i only use wired carplay
Hmm maybe - it usually happens on road trips where I am driving in a new place so I wouldn’t really know if it was pipelines.
These trucks are beasts!!
True that!
If you hold the power button on the head unit and the forward button simultaneously for about 5 seconds it will force a reboot of the stereo and everything should reconnect afterwards.
Awesome, thank you! I will give that a try next time it goes out.
Short trips, will screw up your emissions- big mistake cp4 failure
Yea that’s my fear, gotta replace that CP4 once I am out of warranty,
This is the truck I want but with the godzilla! Thanks for the video!
No problem 👍 Godzilla is a great motor from what I see and hear!
I have a similar setup but in the lariet ultimate, the XL, XLTs will have more electric and leak issues. For two boys two under two and massive car seats and all this it makes up for what it lacks. I will delete it in another 10k miles. Also the mileage and range is great compared to gas trucks. I plan on getting a smaller older toyota 4 runner or a vintage pajero for daily without kids.
WOW, $450 for fuel filters.....Do you take it to the dealer to change the fuel filters?
That's every 10k miles.
That’s for two filters and and oil change. But yes, either the dealer or a diesel shop. Luckily my first three services were included when I bought the truck so I have yet to pay, but next one’s on me.
@RollingWithRuss you cab buy the motorcraft fuel filter kit for about $75, oil filter for $25, and enough full synthetic Rotella T6 oil for about $75 and do it yourself.
Thanks for sharing this cuz I was doing mine with a blower and I didn't really like the results so I'm going to switch to my shop vac.
You got it. I tried the blower too but was also less than satisfied. Hope it turns out well for you!
You gonna diesel delete at all?
……. No comment 😝
Sounds like we just need to plan more camping trips to justify the diesel!
I guess so!
Where at?
CA
Great video man! It was very easy to watch thanks to your great editing skills 🫡
Thanks for watching Andre!
Your truck is insanely powerful man! Gotta love that big fuel tank!!!
Thanks brotha, I love the huge fuel tank!
Got to be hauling a lot of junk to pay for that new truck. You’re working for nothing for a very long time before you can put money away to invest. I would have kept the Tundra for awhile. Everybody does this because it’s easy. Will drive the prices down. Where I live there is only 1 dump. They charge $100/ton to dump. Wouldn’t make anything.
Very valid points.
Sold it on day 2 to a great guy!
Great deal
It was!
Sweet deal.
Thanks!
❤
Appreciate your comment!
Just sent you an email, looking forward to seeing it🤙
Sorry I was slow to respond. Got over 50 messages about the truck in 24 hours and sold it.
I live close (Lodi) and am interested.
Shoot me an email at russellrlayton@gmail.com
My cousin is looking for a new truck and he might be interested what’s the best way to get in touch?
Shoot me an email at russellrlayton@gmail.com
It definitely looks well maintained! You won't have a problem selling it boss
We shall see, thanks brotha!! It is a really well maintained truck I can attest to that.
Wish I was living in CA.. this would cost $30K in AK
Flight and gas might make it worth it? But that’s a long drive…
I loved hearing Decky's comments along with yours. 🙂
Aww thanks, he is the best.
