Very Impressed, V10 "Ex"
Today i have to say that i am very impressed with my excursion. 2000 4x4 v10 and 4.30 limited slip gears. Recently the rough weather caused a tree to halfway fall, It was still rooted but it was slanted. Anayways i hooked up a chain to it and put the "ex" in 4wd and there you have it. It pulled that sucker clean out of th ground with no hesitation and i drove it to my neighbors yard where it belonged ( it was his tree, it had just fallen on my property and he took too long to move so i helped him out, i cant wait to see his face when he comes back to town Tue.)

I have a good one. I work as the finance manager at an RV dealership. The store is located just north of Lansing MI, I guess i need to also say that it happened right after a snow storm. One of the guys went out to the back with our 4X4 Kubota tractor to bring up a 35' travel trailer to show it to a customer he failed to make it over a culvert and almost tipped the trailer over, any way the tractor would no longer move it. We grabbed our lot truck (2003 Chevy 2500 4X4 W/8.1 L 
) and hooked a strap to the tractor, after a few tries nothing moved. I had to go to take some pics of the event and decided to hook my X to the tractor to see if I could move it. The service technician that was on the tractor had jumped off to assess what could happen if we continued to try with out a wrecker. I didn't know that he had gotten off and started to pull everything out of the ditch, without even spinnig my tires the mighty X had it back on the road.Ya gotta love what these trucks can do

My dad borrowed a beater Chevy pick-up to go get a bigscreen TV. The truck gets stuck in the mud at his house, wheels buried deep. We unload the TV and now just need to get the truck out. I hook up the X (V-10 also) and go to tow it out, and my brother gets in the pick-up to hit the brakes when the towline goes slack and to steer. Well, I figured it was going to take some oomph to pull a 1/2 ton truck out of the mud, so I goosed the throttle pretty good. I surge forward, the rear end of the truck launches out of the hole it was in and my brother cracks his head on the roof of the cab. We get the truck out onto the street and he hops out, cussing me out, "What'd you do that for???!!!" I was busting up laughing. I just pleaded innocent and that I didn't know the X would yank the truck out that fast, and it was his fault for not putting the seatbelt on.
