A 10K rated trailer will just beat up your 'Cat, unless it's air ride. 5,200 is ideal I think, but with an aluminum trailer 3,500 will work, just keep an eye on the bearings. I put L-track on mine so I could use wheel nets and/or wheel straps. I'm one of those that refuse to tie to unsprung weight.

Well, then my derated 6-banger diesel apparently rips more. And even though it weighs about 9,400 lbs., I could feel the little gooseneck and Durango behind it. Maybe 10,000 total. Maybe. Does your wife know that you're very insensitive? Yeah, I guess she does by now.

They seem too be out there, if you prefer one over other less visible approaches. Well, assuming that the leading edge of the hood is the same as any other Durango's, which I'd think it is.

I really should do that, too. The roads are still perfectly dry. And halted by missing parts for most projects, it'd make sense to drive a bit.

I'd have to look in the log book, but should be around 14-15 for mine, as long as I keep it under 80...and don't pass too many other cars since that's always at full throttle. As usual, my girlfriend somehow manages to get much better mileage than I do. Have seen over 16 on the Lie-O-Meter on...

By not using your electric winch you may be able to go an extra 250 feet. Except you can't get there without using the winch.

Battle of the multi-doors, the one that never happened.

Fixed it for you, '71. A TRX may be a Ram 1500 pickup, but it's an entirely different driving experience than the regular ones.

Christmas, what year?

Just don't tow with it. Especially not uphill.

Not exactly cross shopping, but my girlfriend likes having one (or two) of each. Her Challenger is quite different from a Turbo S, obviously, and the 718 quite different from that. Her favorite, 4-banger and all, is the 718. She even sold her GT4 to get back into a regular 718.

Speaking of upbadging...or maybe it wasn't? Yesterday, on one of the longer grades of the western end of I-70, I passed a Durango towing a small trailer with a VW bug shell on it. It looked less than pristine, except for the shiny 392 badges on the hood. He may or may not have noticed the...

Nah. People are used to overly loud pickups around here. Noise means nothing to them. Including the sounds of rifle fire.

Yup, hauled it off yesterday. Did I mention how nice it is to have regained the garage space? Now I can access my 2-post lift, for example. And bring things inside to work on them.

I'd hate to think how heavy one of those would be. Plus, I prefer mine low to the ground.

They don't really have any. I did remove a few (so far) from the GT, but that "AWD" badge on the spoiler just doesn't seem right on the 'Cat.

Mine has tint, but I had to debadge it before it could be seen in public, so the tint couldn't be the first thing.

Much like if immigration stopped by at the worksite, right?

And then what? How do they get back?

I'm working on making this a taxi free zone, David. With the 2 (and no) doors already in majority and the Durango gone, it's pretty close. Actually, the remaining multi-doors are both Rams, and I'm not sure those could qualify as taxis anyway. Now, if they were Furds instead, bed & break fast...
