    Brand New 5.0 Issues

    Copy. My error, I should have clarified that my comment was more directed at the KLEnterprise post - which I find a bit suspect.

    Brand New 5.0 Issues

    That’s a shame. Our new 5.0 hasn’t had a single issue. It has been everything we hoped for. Our experience over the years with R.V’s is that often issues are caused by user error or owners choosing the wrong components. Hope you can work through the issues. Enjoy.

    Brand New 5.0 Issues

    Yikes, that is quite the list. Fwiw, once replaced, keep that track on the overhead hatch lubricated with a PTFE dry lube spray. Even new, they should have been lubricated once installed. At best those hatch mechanisms are cheap, cheap, cheap. Good luck.

    5.0 dinette table rear wall

    So not a great picture, but I was able to resize the table, remove one pedestal and make it much more solid, while sliding better. I fit a piece of 3/4” thick maple from one bench to the other, on top of the strip where the filler board would fit. From that, I attached another piece of maple...

    Suburban Recall

    Kosta, will Escape reimburse for any extra cost for the Suburban recall fix over the .3 hr that Suburban has authorized for this fix? The local Suburban authorized RV shop is saying they may charge more than .3 hr.

    Suburban Recall

    Not Escapes fault - but as expected, when I called the local RV repair place, (which is on the Suburban recommended service center list) I was told they really don’t want to do the recall work cause they never get paid. Figured that was coming.

    Escape carpet...

    I should have clarified it was for the steps of a 5.0. Anyway, disregard as I purchased carpet today as I didn’t want to wait any longer for a call back from them.

    Escape carpet...

    I haven’t received a call / message back from Escape, so thought I would ask here. Looking on our build sheet, the name / colour of our carpet isn’t listed. Can a person get a small amount direct from Escape or should I just look at various carpet places in hopes of finding something? If you...

    Hard Roll Up Tonneau with 5.0

    Something like a ‘Revolver’ will be fine. I just don’t know if those roll up covers can be ‘locked’ in a position just ahead of the hitch, to allow for the front portion of the box to be covered. I have a tri-fold style folding hard cover and it is also fine. When at Escape, Pat said most...

    F150 5.0L Coyote TV Experience

    Our Escape 5.0 tows very well with our F150 with the 5.0 V8 engine. We tend to keep our vehicles a long time too and are more than happy with how ours tows.

    5.0 dinette table rear wall

    I haven’t run a stud finder along the rear padded wall yet, but looking for other’s experience. I modded the two leg pedestal table, shortening the length of it, tightening everything, etc. I would like to attach a wooden strip to the end wall just below the table top, to keep it from any...

    Nice surprise from Escape

    Picked up our 5.0 a couple days ago. We had the box of goodies inside and everyone there looked after us really well. Trista, James, Pat, Nicolas, all extremely helpful and generous. Top tier experience.

    F150; 6.5’ box; Anderson rail mount; tri-fold tonneau cover

    Copy, mine is the Xtang Xceed, so different model, sorry. Mine folded, seems to be a bit closer to the hitch than yours, drats. Would you feel comfortable with your tri-fold in the up against the cab, locked position when pulling your 5.0? Wondering if I should just take it right off for...

    F150; 6.5’ box; Anderson rail mount; tri-fold tonneau cover

    I couldn’t remember what model of Xceed tri-fold I had so just looked. It is also an Extang, so fingers crossed :) Out of interest, did you ever have any issues with your tonneau cover top fabric? My first one started pulling away from the sides, but Xceed sent me a brand new one...

    F150; 6.5’ box; Anderson rail mount; tri-fold tonneau cover

    Morning. We pick up our new 5.0 Wednesday. Just wondering if (I know I will find out soon enough) anyone has a picture of their F150 with the 6.5’ box and Anderson rail mount hitch, that is sporting a hard tri-fold tonneau cover. Our folded hard tri-fold cover laying flat at the front is...

    Owners of F150 with the 6 1/2’ box - what 5th wheel hitch?

    Got the brackets and rails installed. Took me about 4 hours but I’ll have to go back and torque a few of the nuts I couldn’t torque without the offset attachment (that is on the way). While I was under there I coated the frame first with Fluid Film. The project was definitely worth saving the...

    Owners of F150 with the 6 1/2’ box - what 5th wheel hitch?

    Got all my parts here but still awaiting arrival of the offset torque adapter. It shipped from the USA and looks like it is still about a week away. On this generation of F150’s the specific fit frame mounts are bent so the holes that attach to the rails are over the F150 frame. So there’s...

    Tundra & 5.0 question

    I believe the owner of that 2017 has also offered you (the buyer) the industry standard rails, so just make sure you source the custom brackets to mount the rails to your frame. From the queries I made to get set up for pulling a 5.0, everything suggests that with the Anderson Classic Rail...
