Looks like a gorgeous day for it. Its blowing like a son-of-a-gun, not pleasant for anything.

Yes, once or twice a year we pull the camper with the old truck. I think we weigh around 5500 lbs. Dennis

For the most part, if the truck is non-commercial, you can pull anything you can get out of the driveway. I have seen some scary things being pulled down the highway.

Anything over 3000 lbs you have to have electric brakes on the trailer. It needs to pass an inspection every year. After seeing Abe's post on those f 100's pulling 48' mobile homes, I feel better. Dennis

Got a chance on Sunday afternoon to drive my truck some and enjoy the fall colors here in Missouri. I took my nephew along as he and I both enjoy taking pictures. He was able to get some good pictures of my truck at different points. We ended up making about a 100 mile loop. The truck made it home without loosing any parts and under its own power so that is always good.





My through the windshield view.





Took my nephew along and he took several pictures of my truck for me.





One of my favorite pictures. I like the way he framed my truck on this photo.
