Questions about mystery ranch nice evolution

[Coachman]

I am trying to find the rough, or exact, dates of when the different generations of the NICE frame were released and what improvements were made/changed.

I emailed mystery ranch and got a cryptic answer that didn't help at all.

Hopefully someone knows the frame's evolution history.

Rock solid from day one and still rock solid...

hope that helps!

In all honesty, chances are simply different hip belt padding etc. which is all interchangeable anyway.

My 6500 is from '07 I think and I still love the thing.

Thanks. I'm leaning more towards a kifaru now. The lack of help from mystery ranch is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Plus, having to spend extra money on a frame extension to give it the load lifting comfort that is standard on the kifaru, defeats the cost savings of the MR.

I'm 6-3 and 260lbs. The kifaru may be a better fit.

Give them a call at mstery ranch, real people answer the phones and are easy to talk to!

That's the most sense anyone has made on this site in a very long time. Best choice you'll ever make.
