...a Big Boys trophy like EricG got.

I still (occasionally) miss my little '05 Chevy regular cab shortbed. Affectionately known as The Garden Pickup. It was set up to deal with corners, and could hang with many supposedly superior cars. But, a low 2WD pickup on wide tires wasn't exactly ideal for around here, so it was sold...

Agree. I also thought they were long gone. Now I can't remember if I even looked at ordering one in '14, or decided on a Quad Cab for other reasons. A short bed 1500 makes perfect sense, since there's no payload to speak of anyway. And obviously two doors are plenty since nobody uses a pickup...

There, I fixed it for you.

Well, I like to drain the oil while as much crap as possible is still in suspense in the oil. In other words, very shortly after driving the vehicle. I also don't care how much oil comes out of the cooler per se, but want the sediment trapped at the drain out of there. More flow helps with...

Can't say that I remember being bothered by oil running down outside the filter, but have noticed that much more comes out of the cooler's drain plug if removing that one before the filter. Guess that could mean there's less in the filter afterwards. Either way, always drain all vehicles when...

If it was only plowing, I'd say go ahead, but it's unfortunate that you put comfort over the safety of your wife and horses. Although, you're far from alone. Those unrealistic J2807 ratings have made many buy much less tow vehicle than they rightfully should. And the Ram salesman certainly...

That's unfortunately not uncommon these days. And hasn't been for about a year.

Just out of curiosity, what tire pressures did you run in that '18 2500? LT tires at 80 psi (which dealers seem to like to leave them at) ride terrible with no load, compared to a 1500's lady like 36 psi in P-rated tires.

I dunno if it's a world, but yes, there sure are differences. Had three 2500s ('10, '14, and '14) and decided to get a "practical car". Bought a '14 1500, which was the most boring car I've had in recent history. Got a 3500 C&C for towing in '17 and haven't regretted that one bit. Then, in...

You'll get maybe a 200 lb. higher payload with a 2500, so they're basically interchangeable in that sense. And whether with standard rear coils or air suspension, they ride nicely. Obviously I was kidding about not towing anything with a 1500, by the way. I wouldn't hesitate to pull a jet ski...

You're asking the wrong person when it comes to towing anything with a 1500. Towing is why the 3500/4500/5500 ones exist. My girlfriend had a diesel 2500, but is much happier with her current 3500 longbed gasser. And she only has a 3-horse trailer. Do they even make gooseneck hitches for...

There's a pristine GT AWD at Audi Salt Lake City, less then 700 miles on it. It'd end up costing less than that SXT, even thought the sticker was $5K higher.

Mine has a decal with the actual speeds for each of the eight standard gears, for some reason. Of course, I installed crawler gears to keep the life altering moments to a minimum. I (try to remember to) use 4WD when either lifting something heavy with the loader, or going downhill. You're in...

Welcome to my world, DGatzby. Whenever I'm looking for a pickup or cab and chassis and they are actually optioned correctly (as in very few options), some dimwit checked the $375 box for the "dial-a-transfer-case". I want the fully functional lever. So, I end up ordering. And by the way, one...

Large tractors run on GPS these days, making exact and most efficient passes over the fields.

Far from it. It's a basic Kubota M6040. Besides, almost all vehicles and machinery I own has speedometers. At this point, the only one I can think of that doesn't is the skid steer. Then again, it has enough electronics that it wouldn't surprise me if there's a speedo, too, somewhere in the...

I got "deleted" from the Trackhawk portion of that site after calling the China virus the China virus.

Well, that's the speed it goes in 3rd gear, low range, when the PTO turns 540 rpm. Which it should be. Knowing that it's 2.37 mph is as easy as looking at the dash.

I know, I know, it sounds funny that I listen to the radio in the tractor, huh? Well, in the 'Cat I don't really hear it because of concentrating on driving. When pulling something with the 3500 I can listen to it quite a bit, since that one isn't overly fast, but I don't drive that one often...
