Re: Fifth Wheel Tag Renewal

Buy a case of M&M candies and sell them at the campground. Boom... interstate commerce ;)1.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: I'm curious to know what you would do?

Since you are the expert, am I correct in understanding that there are SRW 350s with a 12,400 GVWR?1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: I'm curious to know what you would do?

I look forward to towing with it but it's possible the '24 will be in before I get a chance to try this one out. ;) What is the GVWR?1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: I'm curious to know what you would do?

Especially if you're just going to turn around and buy a 2024 in less than a year.757Views0likes0CommentsRe: I'm curious to know what you would do?
4x4ord wrote: One of us seems to be missing something. Based on your comment you think that if a person knows something about HP, torque rise, towing etc, he should somehow have special insight into how others value the changes offered on the new 2023 Super Duty? So... you want strangers on the internet to tell you their opinions on the value of changes from the previous year model of the same truck to justify your decision to keep spending money on a depreciating asset? And you feel that someone other than YOU is "missing something"? Maybe you are right, cause I feel like I've been missing a lot in this thread...757Views0likes0CommentsRe: I'm curious to know what you would do?

The order coming in at the end of the year is disappointing 3. I really like my 2022 4. My wife likes the massage seats and the dealer opted to delete the massage seats in order to get the order pulled 5. I actually don’t care for many of the changes they’ve made to the truck. Maybe I'm missing something here... if you don't want the one year newer truck, why are you even considering dumping MORE money into a new decpreciating asset? I feel foolish for upgrading a 10 year old truck, even though I'm pretty sure I'll need a dually. I can't imagine how I would feel upgrading a 1 year old truck...1KViews0likes0Comments
