450 Platinum put to work





First impressions are great so far! This frame is what I've been waiting for. The truck shows its rigidity when towing over bad roads. The last truck (12' 350 cc, srw,172" wb) didn't like the really rough stuff when towing the heavy gooseneck trailers. So far I have only towed about 18k max with the 450 and saw around 10.5 MPG but felt very solid over our wonderful Michigan roads!
I'll post updates on the trucks performance over the next few weeks.

Very nice! It's like looking at a classy lady with a shovel. Hope you don't track all that dirt on your carpet.
