    Default Goodbye old faithful

    DBE71495-94D4-4982-B6C0-CC2ABE11B48E.jpgI say goodbye to my old faithful today. 2014 RT Limited. He has traveled across country 5 times for me without any fails or problems. Just turned 56k miles on him………. Time to let someone else enjoy the ride & looking forward to my new ride. 2021 F3 Limited. I should be able to pick up my new ride on Thursday…….. looking forward to a cross country trip on him as soon as this September.

    ~~~what is the cost to add an installed trailer hitch to a new Spyder, if you don’t mind me asking?

    the hitch itself is the major cost. it is $679.99 for the BRP one. my dealer is charging $158.20 to install it & a set of passenger armrests.

    Curious what made you choose the F3 rather than another RT.

    my husb has a 2020 RT Limited. son has a 2020 Ryker so we decided to do the F3 Limited just to change things up every once & awhile.

    you may can see the 2020 RT Limited in the background of the pic on original post. (blue)

    It appears to me that ypu wound up getting a Spyder from Australia instead of from North America. It’s a nice looking unit, just from the wrong Continent.
