Renewed Faith in Ford Trucks

I feel I need to share this story!

My plow truck is a 1997 F-250 LD with 185,000 miles on it. (see gallery) Last night while plowing a trucking terminal I encountered a driver that was stuck. The road was plowed but he was pulling twin "pup" trailers and was just spinning his tires. Long story short, using a nylon tow strap I was able to pull him with my truck in 4 wheel low just enough to get moving and drive away. He was shocked as he thought I was nuts for even thinking that my truck could pull a tractor trailer. Needless to say my buddy with a duramax was speachless. Gotta love a FORD!
