See you haven't pulled the trigger on a 1 ton as of 7/14/18, you still planning on that?

No darn it, and I never see ghosts in the haunted historic hotels I like to stay in either, though I always ask for the most haunted rooms.You ever see Samsquinch there? I hear they're very common in eastern Oklahoma.
Yep, or a 3/4 as it seems will be sufficient. Had to repair my bed from the damage the P5 did to it. Now making appointment for the sprayed in bed liner.See you haven't pulled the trigger on a 1 ton as of 7/14/18, you still planning on that?
Are you still looking at a diesel? What MGF? And why that MGF?Yep, or a 3/4 as it seems will be sufficient. Had to repair my bed from the damage the P5 did to it. Now making appointment for the sprayed in bed liner.
Oh of course, that’s the main reason for the trade. Most likely Ford.Are you still looking at a diesel? What MGF? And why that MGF?
I really liked @JACKAL 's, think it was a F 450, saw it at the Take Over. Don't know if a F 450 requires a CDL for commercial deliveries?Oh of course, that’s the main reason for the trade. Most likely Ford.
Yeah, that’s too big a brute for me but perfect for what he does.I really liked @JACKAL 's, think it was a F 450, saw it at the Take Over. Don't know if a F 450 requires a CDL for commercial deliveries?
Actually the F450s are far more maneuverable than any 1 ton, they have a commercial Dana front axle with a 47 degree turn cut vs. every one else's 36 degrees, it will turn a 13 foot tighter circle. Also with a 9" wider front track than the others is more stable in crosswinds towing large 5th wheels.Yeah, that’s too big a brute for me but perfect for what he does.
Why Ford? I'm lazy! Don't want to do all the research, HA!Oh of course, that’s the main reason for the trade. Most likely Ford.
Yep indeed, very good for what you do!!Actually the F450s are far more maneuverable than any 1 ton, they have a commercial Dana front axle with a 47 degree turn cut vs. every one else's 36 degrees, it will turn a 13 foot tighter circle.

Rear diff lock.Why Ford? I'm lazy! Don't want to do all the research, HA!
Because its better than the Textron Havok, and that's all a lazy person needs to know.Why Ford? I'm lazy! Don't want to do all the research, HA!
Nice bumper!Actually the F450s are far more maneuverable than any 1 ton, they have a commercial Dana front axle with a 47 degree turn cut vs. every one else's 36 degrees, it will turn a 13 foot tighter circle.

The Havok runs on diesel?Because its better than the Textron Havok, and that's all a lazy person needs to know.
Let me know when and where you are staying and I'll get the room next to you, that way you will think it's haunted and enhance you stay.No darn it, and I never see ghosts in the haunted historic hotels I like to stay in either, though I always ask for the most haunted rooms.
If you have never driven across Wyoming in 60+ mph crosswinds you wouldn't understand.These cross winds? Is that with JTW sitting shot gun?
Yup, tell me about it...wanted a new one but could only afford a used one on Craigslist...kinda glad I did not pay full price for my 500 because I just discovered yesterday climbing in NM that it is not true 4WD ):I’ve had my Pioneer 700 for nearly two years and I can’t deal with it anymore. It’s on my property in New Mexico and most of my riding is 8-10K feet elevation. Without a low range it lacks the ability to climb the steppes. I’ve gotten into dangerous situations on multiple occasions. So I’m going to sell it. I already have a Pioneer 1000-3 and have used it up there with no problems. At least the new one will have the clutch and cabin heat dealt with.
These things are getting as expensive as cars.
Well, it doesn’t have a diff lock soooo I’m not sure why you thought it did. It’s just like a vehicle without 4 lock. There is a company that makes an aftermarket front locker now.Yup, tell me about it...wanted a new one but could only afford a used one on Craigslist...kinda glad I did not pay full price for my 500 because I just discovered yesterday climbing in NM that it is not true 4WD ):
You can get a locker for the front of that P5 if you’re interested.Yup, tell me about it...wanted a new one but could only afford a used one on Craigslist...kinda glad I did not pay full price for my 500 because I just discovered yesterday climbing in NM that it is not true 4WD ):
