It should be a requirement to be on this thread.

I get better mpg in my motorhome, towing my Grand Cherokee.

I did one pull and back on a little stretch of country back road, and after we made the video clip, we headed back down the road to be confronted by a pissed of man shaking his fist, saying, " I'm going to call the police if you ever come back down this road" Anyway, kinda spoiled my spirited spirit.

Here is the link of the video.

Yeap, I should have bought a gooseneck trailer. Much better aero and the ride quality is better also. V-nose bumper pull trailer is a big old wind brake. The cost is just way more. I'll let you buy me one. Not a problem for me to let you do that. I get 15mpg pulling my horse trailer.

Just woke up from a 4-hour nap. Feel groggy, and debating on going for a run or a lifting session in my garage

On second thought, nah, wifey is watching TV with an entire tub of MY ice cream and a 2-liter of coke zero, and it's close enough to my cheat day Monday. Not sure why, but I'm also craving bacon

My youngest stepson got a '19 Ram 3500 4x4 diesel with the air bag suspension. He tows a 5th wheel camper, a goose neck horse trailer, and a 20ft bass boat. He says he can tell the difference in mpg in towing the different trailers. The bass boat. He don't even know it's back there. I really like that truck

I looked at them, I will pass for now. Got a couple more years before I consider another one.

You're like me with trucks. Run them until they die, or about to.

I work my trucks. I see no benefit in having all the newer emission junk on the truck. It just makes the cost go up, repair bills go up, and longevity go down. I don't need all that fancy smancy stuff. It would be nice, but I don't have to have it.

On the new trucks. They have that 12" touch screen that controls everything. If you have to replace that screen. It's over $7,000 just for it.

Know one guy who left his sunroof opened, and it rained. Ruined the touch screen. Warranty won't cover it.
