First pull… and Thanks!

Just got back from our first trip with the new truck and new to us Rockwood. I’m impressed by the 7.3. I locked out 10th and sometimes 9th gear over the trip. I didn’t weight the trailer loaded, but I’m guessing we were close to the trailers GVW at 10K lbs.
I’ve posted a few threads in this forum the last couple weeks. The trip went off without any problems. From my Hitch questions to new battery questions for the trailer, it was all good. This forum is fantastic and is a great resource with great members. Thank you!

That's some great scenery you're camped by.

I'm guessing your truck is Stone Gray?

I have a dually ordered but have yet to see a stone gray truck in person. If that's stone gray, I think I'm really going to like it!

Thanks man! That’s Goblin Valley in Utah. Great place for spring or fall camping. It’s an endless playground for kids too.

Yep, Stone Grey. I also bought the color sight unseen. It’s a great color. I would order it again for sure.

After days of 90f+ and a few more in the forcast a quick blizzard of 1/2 day sounds good about now. Too hot here in AZ and to cold to go where we would like up north... such problems to have.
