Re: Complete Newbie Needs Straight Talk
You might not even need a V8 if you dont ever pln on going bigger with the trailer. A modern v6 in a half ton shoud do the job if you stay with a truck within 5-7 years or so. Try and get a 6 speed auto in the flavor of truck you prefer. This means 09 or newer ford or gm. Not sure on the dodges.320Views0likes0CommentsRe: Silly Truck Trends

I can remember when stuff like curb feelers and those crown air filters on the back dash were the thing. I was never one to get into it too much but this one trend lately is just ridiculous. What's with the new look of taking your full size truck and having the rear lowered so much, it looks like you have a load of bricks in the bed? For the life of me, I have no idea why anyone would think this is appealing or even "cool". I mean really guys. Your headlights are shining up to the sky and I'm sure it takes away some of your view on the road. But I see this more and more every day. Can someone please elaborate? Probably just half ton RAM's with a weeks woth of groceries in the bed;)397Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2002 Tahoe
I had a 2000 yukon 5.3 with 3.73 rear and a 25'tt around 5k. It was a good match but that was about as big as i would go. Climbing long steep hills will tax it for sure. Keep an eye on the trans temp. You can use your smart phone and an app such as "torque" if it dosent have a guage.439Views0likes0Comments
