Popular Post John and Debbie Posted November 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi y'all. We left Hohenwald today and drove to David Crockett State Park. It towed great behind our 2017 Ford Expedition EL with heavy duty tow package. There were some steep (to my surprise) sections and it pulled OK. We will be going over the Rockies so that will be a good test. So far, I am very pleased with Oliver. 15 John and Debbie, Beaverton, Oregon, 2017 Ford Expedition EL 4x4 3.5 liter Ecoboost, with heavy duty tow package.

Moderators topgun2 Posted November 9, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 9, 2022 John & Debbie - Can you believe it? That loooooog wait finally came to an end. A nice brand new and very shiny end too - looking good. Hopefully there will be more pictures to come but most important - have a safe and fun trip west. Unfortunately, it looks like things are turning colder for you. Finally, let us know if we can help in any way as you two are now on your way.

I plan to conduct a thorough inspection and test all systems over the next several days. It will be interesting to see if the many service tickets reported by all of you helpful forum posters have caused Oliver's production quality control to improve enough to provide us with a flawless trailer.

We'll see how close she is in 139 days. 😉 1 ----- Steve - Northern Ohio, USA Wandering around on occasion, always lost. 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser - 2023 Oliver Elite II Twin Hull #1360 “Curiosity” Facebook - Instagram Camped in Curiosity = Green —— Visited with Curiosity = Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I hear Santa bringing a bunch of Ollie gifts?🎅 Seriously - I'm guessing that you have been doing a bunch of reading here on the Forum and in the Oliver University. But, I'm guessing that there is still a bunch more to do. Spring is such a wonderful time to get an Oliver (like there is really a "bad" time?). All that planning for where you will go and the things you will do - exciting!

Interesting to note that from this thread my math says they expect to deliver 46 in 3 months and then 24 in a month and a half February and March. That seems to be a pretty steady one every other day rate even through the Holiday's and model year changeover. 1 Mike & Marianne Hermann, Scottsdale AZ 2022 RAM 2500 Hemi 4x4 Elite II Hull #1337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
