Well 15 is better than -13.
I've since heard this is not an mpg engine / truck.
Now I need to figure what I can tow.
Brochure says 8,800 GCWR.
The truck weights around 4,300.
So 4,500 trailer and vehicle on said trailer.
I better get an aluminum trailer and haul sub 3,000 lb cars.

Anyone else having fun in the snow?
After digging out and shoveling the sidewalks I went for a drive.
We got around 18-21 inches here in Harrisburg PA.
This is the first real 4x4 drive I did.
I volunteer at the AACA Museum and had a car in their garage to work on.
However, being a secondary road, they didn't plow it.
So into 4x4 low and through the pile onto a freshly drifted road.
I'm running Yokohama Geolanders with about 1/2+ tread remaining.
Well anyways, I had fun and it was unstopable.

Nice deal/truck! Is your friend moving up towards Canada any time soon? haha

Is she leaking oil? I see some under the first pic there. Maybe from another vehicle?

Good eye.
That oil came from another vehicle.
