Most people could lift 100 lbs off the floor, but not get it over their head. Your thinking of it as an all or nothing proposition. I tend to think of how to make things easier. What if you was lifting 100 lbs, but only had to get it part way to your knees - twice. What do you need to lift it halfway to your tailgate the first lift, and then complete the lift up to the tailgate the second lift - a simple box, stool, milk carton, etc.? I have r or 5 folding stools around the house of various sizes, each rated at least 300 lbs. That's how I load my Honda EU3000. First onto a sawhorse, then up into the bed.552Views0likes0CommentsRe: 25% better mpg from current diesels? Too good to be true?

My concern is how much it cost to get me there. isnt that one and the same, if you increase the range of a tank of gass it costs you less to get to your destination. Not at all. The cost of fuel is almost trivial when you include the total cost of ownership of a truck and RV391Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2024 GMC and 2023 Super Duty

My 2003 RAM 3500 Laramie (top trip at the time) was $35000. A comparable 2023 is around $90,000, with top trim levels above $100k. My 2003 2500HD listed at $53,000CAD when I bought it new. The same truck (not diesel) similarly equipped now lists at $84,872CAD. That isn't even in the neighborhood of double the price. Wow that 2003 seems too high? I don't have anything exactly comparable but we bought a new 2004 Ram Laramie 4x4 crew cab diesel for $39,000 CAD. Prices I quoted were MSRP and are all in. Another thing to consider is that the 2023 version is much more truck than my 2003. More GVRW, better creature comforts, better fuel economy.577Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2024 GMC and 2023 Super Duty
