A WD hitch will be your friend.

Possibly, but more likely because of how the car is tied down. For example, my 2,500 lb. Jeep used to ride in the far back of a trailer with a 42,000-lb. weight capacity, but it was tied down to unsprung parts (the axles) and never needed retightening of the straps, despite its squishy tires...

But they cost more than a real tongue weight scale, I think, which is more accurate.

That's also a heavier trailer, putting more weight on the tongue even when empty.

A sagging butt goes with the territory when towing with a 1/2-ton. I wouldn't worry about the appearance as much as the stability...or lack thereof. Adjusting the headlights is lot less work than undoing a tangled mess in a ditch.

Nice! Go a bit heavy on the tongue if you want...it's a whole lot better than not enough.

BULL's trip will be just fine. In reality it was the oil that came out in late December that was two years old. Had it analyzed at a lab that does it more in depth than Blackstone, and then had the result analyzed by someone who really knows this stuff. As it turned out the oil (PUP) was just...

It's getting close to being able to stir up that 2 year old oil and go for a drive. But I suspect that the closest fun road is still closed off, since they claim that the snow pack is at or above average.

Well, that explains your affection for cab-age cars.

Well, they can call it whatever they want. The only reason I finance a car is to save a few grand.

Which is exactly what used to be called "qualifying for a loan", right?

Wouldn't it be sufficient to simply qualify, instead of having to "pre-qualify"? Or is it like with what used to be existing things have now become "pre-existing" - which to me means that they used to exist. As in previously existing.

Meanwhile my C&C rides quite nicely, even without any load. And that's obviously with beefy leaf springs in the back and despite a 14,000 GVWR. Bet it could be equipped with a plow, too.

Nothing wrong with that, I think, as long as I get a large portion of that kickback knocked off the price. If it wasn't for saving thousands of dollars I would want to deal with the hassle of financing.

Huh? Once he got to that age it's hard to go back.

That's largely my problem, too. Heck, I have 44 batteries to take care of, not counting another 12 in generators and trailers.

That would be great. But at this point I have "reached the end of the internet" so to speak. There's nothing out there that interests me anymore. Sure, there are some new and old cars I definitely wouldn't mind having, but they would just sit there taking up space.

Thankfully, yes. But my current Challenger is already equipped with a whole bunch of "tech" that I don't care for. And I doubt the future cars will have less.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping that some dealer hangs on to a Granite Challenger for a long time. If I somehow end up needing a replacement for my '18, I won't argue too much about the price - as long as I can buy a new "old" Challenger. I'd gladly pay more for one than whatever new stuff any brand...

Been nice and sunny here, mid 50s, perfect. Tomorrow will be a different story. Heading for Arizona, and it's supposed to be in the mid 80s. Sure hope the A/C in the trailer works. If nothing else, the water lines in the trailer should thaw out once I get there.
