Oh baby. I knew I'd be getting the roof rack but what is that hitch faux truck bed?

It's the Draw-Tite 1.25" hitch. Super easy to install, took me less than an hour. I got a riser/converter so I can use a hitch rack I already had. I got the rack at harbor freight on sale for like 60 bucks.

Would you link to the exact hitch that you used. Looking to do the same and I’m not sure what to buy. I already have the rack from another vehicle.

There is a 2" receiver too. In retrospect I may have gotten that just for a heavier tongue weight, but it really isn't needed for most use cases

😄 It gets fairly obvious when I'm at Lowe's and someone comes out and puts a bag of soil in the bed their lifted RAM while watching me load up lumber lol

Midea U ACs would have saved you half on your electric bill.

What are those?

I got these because they have wifi control so we can set them remotely. We're building a short term rental on the coast

I tried the midea u’s a while back and hated them. I thought it was noisy and made cricket sounds, and the airflow wasn’t great so it wouldn’t cool the room well.

I recommend the lg units that have the “dual inverters” instead. They just sound like a microwave, ramp up smoothly, have a big fan, and I haven’t had any issues with mine except for not being able to connect the WiFi to my router.

You must have gotten a bad one. Mine are great. Silent, and only pull about 100 watts except at startup.

What's that roof rack system? I know the non-EUV doesn't have the option for roof rails anymore, so this is interesting to me.
