Cause I mostly tow and only occasionally need the bed to haul anything. And when I do it usually fits fine in a 6 ft bed.

I prefer Newark to JFK or Dulles, but its probably in my top 10

I go with Dulles, and JFK. Especially if you get there at the same time as every other international flight and you are all trying to get through customs to make your next flight.... more than once I have witnessed fist fights.

You could always launch a nuke ICBM out of a plane.

I live in an area (WV) where winters suck, your most likely going to have some land you need to landscape etc, you probably will have to replace the odd water heater (in my case last night fridge). We own a business which we need to bring furniture, appliances, rubber mulch etc to on occasion. I own a 30ft RV that…

Maybe where you live yes. Here as someone else said its horses, cows, RVs, drilling equipment, Hay, Gravel, Lumber. I had my old 2500 at the limit many times of its 5.7 gas engine 10,500 tow rating and the 6MPG that goes with it. Yes I knew I didn't need a diesel, but I am not far off. So even my new one is 6.4 gas…

Mine usually comes on once beginning of winter.... I then put in air and never see it again all winter...now I ususally have to let some out come spring but eh no biggy. Course your results could vary by location/climate.

Around 30G and I don't have to haul it with me when I want to go to the beach or something. Course I upgraded the truck since this picture, so ok 60G

That's a pretty severe case, but I cant tell you how many antennas and such I had to change due to the refueling boom hitting them. The F-16 TACAN antenna is right behind the receptacle and there were times we would do 5-6 antennas a week if the pilot or operator messed up.

When I had my wrangler I would break it twice just about every time I went off-road. Course then it got rebuilt stronger and better. My truck now mostly just pulls the camper, firewood, and gravel. Not much real off-road time which is why I miss my Jeep :(

we used to park 130s at ramstein in the old HAS pads or in the taxiways. Not ideal but it can be done. I miss when I was stationed at spang in the late 90s when we had the 15s, 16, and a-10s. It made for a pretty stout defense force.

Hell my 6.4L 3/4 ton was less than 50. I didn't need a diesel but I wanted something that could tow 10K fairly well in the mountains on the east coast but not have the maintenance costs of a diesel. 43K and I got a 2500 w/ 6.4 rated at 13K w/ 3.73 gears so yes in many cases if this thing is pushing 50K they will lose…

I think the better integration of jamming/SEAD with stealth aircraft negates a lot of that. While VHF radar has gotten better it is my understanding that it was just as much tactical mistakes on the NATO side as good tactics on the serbian side which allowed them to down the F-117. I read a couple articles indicating…

When you do a hush house run or anything like that they use a large metal tie down attached to the emergency tail hook. The nose of the plane at least on 16s will still bounce up and down some as it wants to go. Pretty cool to look at and be in the hanger with.

Sadly you still see quite a few fifth wheels on 1/2 tons usually they are like 26-28ft but I would be surprised if many of those don't exceeded pin weight either.

Thats a common complaint you see on some RV'ing forums that the ecoboosts run really hot when towing under a load have to wonder what that does to longevity.

My wifes Malibu has that it drives me nuts, It doesnt shut the engine off half the time you think it would. Then there are other times it starts to shut it off like pulling into a parking space, then starting again as you put it into park....cool idea but doesnt seem to do real well in practice imo

Actually its not that bad, Ive seen way worse. The scratches on the nose are typical of any plane using that sort of refuel system (almost all usaf airplanes) we used to joke about drawing legs around the hole on on our F-16s because they scratched them up so bad and broke tacan antennas. As far as the rest pretty…

With My 2500 Hemi in WV towing 8000+ 30ft RV im lucky to get 6...but you know mountains/weight and stuff. :( A diesel is hopefully in my future as when I bought it I didnt think id tow it as much as I do.

My guess is thats going to require premium fuel with 2 turbos and such high compression 91 oct at a minimum for the poor CA folks.
