(i'm biased against trucks because i lived in the colorado rockies for too long and it was a mixture of hilarious, and tragic, when you saw a broken guardrail, and a few feet down, a truck stuck in a tree, no sandbags in sight to weigh it down)
Dont forget the sticker "Yes this is my truck, no I won't help you move your furniture"
Florida boys ain't got that problem!Quote:

Wait, what the ****? Trucks generally/always weigh more than cars and have four-wheel drive... do males in Colorado not know how to drive? Or do you just drive womanly trucks? My truck is the only thing I will get in during inclement weather, because I trust the vehicle and the driver is just so damned capable and handsome.
they weigh more, overall, yes, but it's all up front. the back has less than a third of the trucks over-all weight, resulting in fishtailing, sliding around curves, general loss of traction, etc etc.Quote:

if you've never had to weigh down the back of your truck in the winter time then you have never had to evacuate your house in the middle of a blizzard after hearing the walls cracking from the weight of the snow. and then drive 10 miles, in said blizzard, to the nearest hotel, across a 1-lane iced over highway in the mountains.
yes, yes i have had to do that, before you say "that never happens". lemme tell ya, digging a 20 foot driveway out of 8feet of snow is an all day event.
