Aaaaaand I'm stuck.
It was too dark to unload yesterday, so I backed in with the plan of unloading this morning. I can't get it to budge more than an inch in either direction; the entire rig is on ice. Gonna go get the minivan and a tow strap.

Tom has definitely made me proud as hell!!!
But, look at Tom's truck. He's already taken off his step bars because he dinged one while off roading. This truck is earning it's keep for sure!

Thanks Tim!
You guys thought I was kidding didn't you. 
NOPE!
Put the wife in the F150, myself driving the van and got to work. A few tugs, some repositioning, and SHE'S OUT!

Because the truck was stuck, and the van wasn't. The tow strap was in the garage, and the van has a hitch.

Ha ha...we'll see how this one goes. I suspect I work mine harder than most, but I think there are lots of commercial operators who make my use seem easy.

Tom, keep the stories coming it never gets old reading them. Your milage towing that load is similar to the weight I tow with my Eco, and I get between 8.5-10 mpg depending on how hilly the roads are. That motor is pretty torquey for towing, it does a surprisingly heck of a good job doing it.
