After a buncha years with a TC, we don’t have a truck suitable for a TC, so decided to upgrade a bit.
After a couple months of missed “deals” in this crazy buyers market, we snagged one.
2017 Torque T29. Been stored in a barn since new and owner literally used it once for a weekend of camping and a few times as a spare bedroom! He!!, my biggest issue is it might not have all the breakin bugs worked out of it.




Can’t wait to get it. Its in Spokane and can’t get over there til next weekend.

You are not going to tow it with your Geo Metro? Let me see if we can use a trailer toad on your setup.


No, I was planning on using the Hyundai...more horsepower! But sure glad it comes with a wdh because I'm not certain of the available payload of an Elantra....

In seriousness though, what do you mean by trailer toad?

Thanks guys!
Haven’t seen it in person yet. Buddy went and inspected it and put some money down to hold it. It was already sold once, 3 hours after the add went up, but that guy’s bank didn’t think he needed it as badly as he did apparently...
Yeah I figure min 3500 Dooley or I may just go straight med duty just to keep the weight cops off my 6. Lol.
She’s a big piggy. 1350lb bare tongue weight. Rated 12.5klb gvw with 6k axles and has 5klbs CCC or 4200lb ccc + a full load of water.
It’ll be general campin-ish. Mainly wanted an open garage TH for the heavier chassis and more interior space.
Everyone in the family has formed their own ideas as to what toys we will be hauling in it, either current or not yet purchased, lol. We have bikes, snomachines, a 4 wheeler and a CJ5. But generally motorsports activities, save for boating, have been separate from camping in our world. Will see...

Lordy lord. There goes the neighborhood. I guess this means we're going to have to put up with you.

Just to get the jabs out of the way, you're going to need a bigger truck and a WD hitch with sway control. I don't even know what truck you have, but I can predict that's what you'll be told.

I can't wait to see some pics of the inside. Is this for sleds or just general use? You might as well go all in and get a SxS now.

Congrats man.
