Cheaper fuel, but if he loads anything on the trailer he will have to buy a new transmission!Fuel is expensive, gotta use the gas saver whenever possible

If you think it's bad with a CCSB, just stop by one of those dealerships in Castle Rock and take a CCLB for a test drive. It'll make you appreciate the shorter wheelbase for sure.Thank you, un-forecasted Colorado blizzard, for the exciting drive on I-70 last Thursday.

That’s not dirt, that’s frozen slush.
Unrelated: All of the concrete joints on I-25 from Denver through Colorado Springs are spaced exactly wrong for a crew cab short bed. Makes me feel like I’m going to hurl every time I drive back and forth between the campground and the base.
Either Sailun S637 or Hercules H901. I just bought a 2022 Alpine 3790FK It had HiSpec Oracle tires on it when I bought it. I drove less than 150 miles and I could already see the tread starting to bubble and separate away from the side wall. From everything that I have read these are the 2 best recommended trailer tires for heavy trailers. I'm guessing your up around 16,000 to 17,000 lbs GVWR like I am. I also upgraded to 235/85R16 for the added weight capacity.I’m in desperate need of new tires soon. I’m driving a 22 3500 Dually and pulling a 22 41’ Montana Fifth Wheel. I’m wanting to go a little wider than stock tires, but retain my factory wheels. Does anyone have experience with some really good tires?
Thanks,

That's the plan in another 3 1/2 years. The price was right and this way I can get everything set up / built the way I want it before we start traveling.Now that's the setup I'd get if we decide to sell out house and go on the road full time
I feel you, that's what our 26' Penske and small Uhaul trucks looked like on the 25th of March. On the 23rd a major truck accident shut down the 70 in Vail Co., so they were requiring chains on Commercial trucks. We did ask Uhaul for chains and they stated they don't have chains for their trucks. It forced us to gamble on a smaller highway through Montrose Co. on Hwy 50 going over two passes with snow covered highways with Monarch Pass at 11500'. We were required to carry chains, but for 22.5 dually tires on the Penske would have been expensive. So we gambled and went for it, talk about puckering up on snow covered roads and 6% grades without chains. There were a few new small pickups who thought they were immune to snow covered roads, overturned and causing even more of an hazard partially blocking the roads. It took us over 8 hours to go from Grand Junction Co. to Colorado Springs Co..Thank you, un-forecasted Colorado blizzard, for the exciting drive on I-70 last Thursday.

Pulled the boat out of the garage today to get some sun..It’s been a long winter, but we finally have some warm weather coming!
