Makin da delivery

Is that truck squatting a bit? you may want to consider air bags so it looks like it is sitting in an unloaded state with 2000lbs in the bed!

You also may want to see if it feels down on power with that much weight too? it should feel like it has no trailer behind it.........Oh wait it`s a Dodge it already does!

Congrats on the new RV. Looks REAL nice.

Sure is a long way to go to buy an RV! Do they offer a big discount for picking it up at the manufacturer?

I think he's just transporting it, due to his use of the word "delivering." He wouldn't deliver it to himself at an RV dealer. He'd take it home.

Also notice the writing on the side of the pickup truck, which is a good indication of a commercial hauler.

Looks like he needs airbags or a DRW truck, though. Squattin' pretty good in back.

Your kidding about the "squat" right? Truck on level ground sits level, perhaps your fooled by the picture. My truck has 4130lbs of payload, hitch weight is around 2475lbs.

YA better get some bags on that thing!!!

If look closer at DO's truck you'll notice the front end is setting on an incline which makes the rear end look a bit low.

Is a new hitch the next suggestion?

If you read my previous posts on this subject I was being sarcastic! His truck is sitting exactly how it should look with a load and so does mine. He does NOT need BAGS.

Some people freak when a truck sits level and claim OMG it has "Squat". Then there are the others that have their AZZ dragging and say it "tows just fine".

Reese.... Oh the blasphemy :W

Nice Rig.

Got awfully windy in WI last night too. 40-50 mph gusts.

That rest stop is in Jefferson county WI. You were 4 miles from my house at the last exit, 267.

No kidding about the winds, over "nighted" in Black River Falls, was woken by truck rocking, thought I either run into or a couple of jokers rocking the truck when I woke up enough and realized it was the wind!

That is a nice Gateway, you sure are going to make someones customer happy.

Yes... as long as the "customer" doesn't find out what the dealer paid for it vs what the "customer" pays for it. Because its being imported to Canada, I get the "invoice...what the dealer paid and MSRP". All I can say is "Holy RV Batman!".

Soooo are you being a good boy and stopping at all the scales :W
How about your funny book :B
Most likely none of my business but what happen in the oil field? Winter slow down or what?

Not one Scale was open from Elkhart, IN through IL, MN (hard to believe was told MN was a tough state as far as DOT goes) South and North Dakota, Hell even across the border not one scale was open. Funny book... not that funny. As for the oil business as someone else (and a few others) pointed out, North American wide its been bad, natural gas plant I was running was shut down due to economics(if you have a gas plant that produces condensate in large quantities you can make money)... so became un-employed (haven't worked since May). 1000's have been laid off since and looks to be more to come. So, I have truck and will travel...
