[QUOTE="Scott Phillips, post: 1354738, member: 33338"] I forgot to mention that I am interested in the SCREW as it will need to be used to haul kids in car seats and I like/need the extra tow rating at 8000 pounds and the Octane 222 GVRW is 8000 pounds. That seems like it should work, but although growing up on a farm I'm not too well versed in tow ratings. (We have always just had multiple F-250 and F-350's to use so it was a non-issue or we just didn't care on country roads). I think my biggest problem now is the stupid shark fin on the 2019 that appears to stick up super high. If I can't get dimensions to the top of the fin then I guess I need to test drive one and see if it will fit in my garage. I wonder what kind of hacks there are to decrease the fin height. As I understand it, the large fin is used when the truck has it's own dataplan and makes it's own hotspot. Something that I don't care about as using my phone with unlimited data and can hotspot itself is good enough for me. Motoman, thanks for showing your two setups and I like both of those for their respective purposes. I really like my 1up rack and have the single along with 2 extensions for 3 bikes and I have no reason to change. Putting a single 1up on a truck along with a bike is less than 5 minutes all locked and loaded. I am thinking that if I am taking more than 3 bikes, then it is toy hauler and camping time. [/QUOTE]
