Doing a lot of Custom Stuff This Weekend
mrtn replied to DapperVan's topic in Accessories and Modifications
Just did 200+ miles of highway towing (60 mph, trailer + 600 lbs load, half way with just the trailer), averaged 17.6 mpg. -
This is my ski box but whose car is that???

There are plenty of compact 12V pumps available.

Get an inflatable mat. You can stuff it anywhere when not in use. A soft enough foam mattress is way too thick.

You don't really need a store front in the internet era, just a nice webshop plus your outdoor activities.

Is that a heatpress there? I'm in sign supply business, heat presses and thermotransfer vinyl is a big part of it. The TC should be great for this kind of activities. Have you planned a wrap and signage already?

I am not sure about injectors. There have been different injector systems throughout the years, Siemens, Delphi and Bosch. The 75 and 90 hp are just injector map difference. I think the most powerful one has VNT turbo. I know that the later models need some modification for EGR blanking, TDDi is dumb and can be blanked with the €2 plate. You can get plenty of diesel info in facebook group "transit connec'ed".

It's TDCi, the "new" type. TDDi is the old type and was discontinued in 2006. It's considered the most durable one. The power options are defined by ECU mapping and turbo variants, yes.

You would be the first TC EV owner here AFAIK. -
Trailer hitch- bolt on vs. welded on
mrtn replied to Saltwater's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Towing & Upfit Packages
NB: should you decide to have wiring installed you'll need a trailer connector module. Can't crimp the wires to the rear light wiring. -
In construction trade you would be better off with a light trailer. Much safer and more functional plus better load rating.

Dual clutch? Are you sure? The 6-speed auto in the EcoBoost is a standard planetary auto. -
Oh hi there! That's probably the best looking Caddy I've seen. The matte vinyl enhances the lines really well. Regards from a Roland sign equipment dealer.

I am thinking of a 1" lift. -
Need a wire harness for radio

I'm sure an installation guide exists for this head unit. -

I mean the keyboard that pops up when you want to perform a search for POI. The parking brake requirement is there to prevent you from typing while driving. -

Some GPS units disable search keyboard unless parking brake is engaged.
