Truck and Trailer??

Hey Y'all. does anybody have a truck and trailer that would be able to tow Slider out to Witchita?? I ask b/c I would like to go to FordtoberFest, but with my gas mileage, I would probably have to fill up twice to get down there, so I'd be looking at close to around $200 just in gas for the trip, plus lodging and food, and registrations.. it all adds up fast for this broke college "dude". Just thought I"d throw out the idea and see the response... I was gonna ask Steve (chiefsfan) if he wanted to tow Slider (hehe) but I doubt that truck would make it up the hil in front of his house with all that weight. well anyway....

its just the fact that I have bigger tires. 3.27 gears, and an engine with 104K miles on it, and the $200 is gas ROUND Trip, not one way.

Hey PUNK I am sure I could tow it but why would I want a big ole muddy truck behind my clean truck. Might make me look bad. Besides we could just start at the park. No hill there

Ryan I am probably going to be driving up on Saturday morning so if you want to just follow me up there it might save you a little money so you don't have to stay overnight. Havent decided yet when I am leaving (Sat or Fri) but just an opttion for you if I go Saturday.

Don't know yet. I think its about a 3 hour drive correct? If so I was thinking around 6 and drive straight through no stops. Sound good?

This will give some time to clean of the bug guts when we get there.
