Default Got to pull some

Hey just wanted to let everyone know I got to do my first pulling with my Ram today. It snowed about 10 inches here and I got to pull my wife's and another lady's carout of the snow. Weak, I know, but it was fun and better than being at work.

I got to do my first pull this year too. Just pulled out a little stratus that was stuck in a snow bank. truck pulled it out like it was nothing. Like it was a feather.

I also did my first tow. Even though I have the 360, with a good 5500 lbs of trailer and 86 caprice, you can feel it. I'll tell ya, she was pulling it just fine, just not quickly. She did great though.

It seems weird to be proud of an inatimate object, but I swear my ram is like my child.

i pulled a 4000 lb corn planter from the middle of ohio to western PA. Let me tell you that was freakin trip. Down the highway O/D off, wide open . but amazingly i still got like 9 miles to the gallon. Also i had NO trailer brakes . that made things interesting

This was in reference to the first post. I like to hear about Dodges pulling out Fords no matter if they are cars or trucks.

haha ive done lots of towing and hauling but i work and live on a farm so it goes hand and hand, i did my first tow about 1 year ago, snaped a tow rop, haha my buddies chevy was stuck in 4x4 on a snowbank 5 feet tall haha so we went and got a chain and i snaped off his tow hook, so we got out the shovels, this summer my truck was on bump stops all summer basically, i had the bed loaded to the nuts with a generator and a compressor along with railway ties, with a trialer on the back, making trips 250 miles away with motors and trannys, quads axels sometimes all at once, many a time, pulled and hauled it like a damn, i was so proud, ive also towed railway cars, 5 of them loaded with grain, thats 92 ton each, nothing has ever broke
