Sorry you were stranded but I had to laugh when I saw your SD on the roll back, "only because" it sure makes that Dodge look small, Gigger
I love your truck & you will too..............

Now this is a proper tow set up!
Chevy on a Ford F-650 SD with a 20' deck. 9,750# rated capacity

That first pic in post #5 is scary.
Be sure to check your truck over for damage to the front. Movement of your truck on the deck may cause contact with the headache rack as close as he has it loaded to it.
The Dodge is really too small for your truck.
He should not tow something larger than his truck
The largest vehicle I can load on my deck is a F-550 CC.

"Stranded!" Was probably a little over dramatic for the title. I was in a town, obvioulsy made it to a gas station, had cell service and Ford Roadside Assist was fantastic. At that moment of posting (first time from my phone), I was pretty ticked off because I had just ended a long trip back from NYC.
I still have not a bad thing to say about this truck. Like you, I love every minute I'm in it.
I'll post again tomorrow night once I find get it back and am sure there was no other damage.

American Near Beer = flavored water.
I miss the beers of Germany.

Andechs makes seven varieties of beer, try as many as you can but watch out, it can be strong stuff. Here's a guide to the brews.
1 ▪ Andechser Weißbier Hell – an unfiltered, cloudy wheat beer with a light colour.
Tastes a bit fruity and very, very nice (5.5 per cent alcohol).
2 ▪ Andechser Weißbier Dunkel – this is what they call a “character beer”, quite heavy so you shouldn’t need to eat for a while afterwards. It’s an unfiltered, dark, wheaty brew with a pleasant aroma (5 per cent alcohol).
3 ▪ Andechser Hell – touted as a “beer for daily enjoyment”, this is basically lager with a nice malt flavour (4.8 per cent alcohol).
4 ▪ Andechser Spezial Hell – a lager that’s often pulled out for festivals and special events (5.9 per cent alcohol).
5 ▪ Andechser Dunkel – a slightly spicy dark beer, good after big meals.
It’s got a very similar taste to the Doppelbock Dunkel with a smaller kick (4.9 per cent alcohol).
6 ▪ Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel – the internationally famous knock-out brew. This dark concoction is guaranteed to knock your socks off (7.1 per cent alcohol).
7 ▪ Andechser Bergbock Hell – the light-coloured, mild version of the famous Doppelbock (6.9 per cent alcohol).
And they are sold by the Liter.

A few of those look very good. Unfortunately, Utah is also one of the few states where you can't have alcohol shipped in. So it's 3.2 grocery store beer (near beer), or what I do, weekly/monthly trips to the liquor store for the good, full flavored stuff. I choose quality over quantity now a days...
