So this is a first
So today we had to move a Dash 8 aircraft that weighs 25000 Lbs empty.I hooked up the tow bar to the back of my EX 6.0 and put it in 4x4 and pulled it out of the snow and moved it to another location at the airport I was so impressed .It never missed a beat.I was so impressed.............Just thought you EX guys would like to hear that

It IS pretty surprising to hear of a 6.0 not missing a beat...
