Thanks! Those trucks are over a span of about 6 years. Started with the blue 1/2 ton, then up from there. I do prefer the GM's over the Fords, but that's just personal preference, especially with the newer trucks. That Ford was horrible. Solid front axle, 38's, stiff springs.... My wife and I drug our boat down to Nashville to Haugyland with the F-250 1 year when she was pregnant, bad idea :(
The fords are tough but do tend to ride like crap.
Nothing better than a suburban for towing.

I miss my Suburbans. I've had two and regret getting rid of them both!Quote:

I told you to leave it at my house and take my truck, and you'd be fine..........BUT NOOOOOOOO not enough blingy for you.
Hey, we had a great time there though! SAS's with 38's on the interstate aren't fun.
Here's the current tow vehicle.

Yes, but the storage is up in Florence. The unit is a 10'x30'. With the swim platform and non-folding trailer tongue, a 25' long unit just wasn't quite long enough.Quote:

Hers My Rig
Okie - I love the new Avalanche!
Well, my tow truck isnt the coolest by any means, but the B**** gets the job done at 7.6MPG while towing.... :(

Thanks guys...we love the Avy so far. It sure rides nice and the wife is happy with it. We've debadged it and blackened the bow ties, along with some aftermarket halo ring/projector style headlights...I should get some updated pics.
I love that Chevy K5 Blazer, really cool looking ride...
Okie and I have the same taste in vehicles...:cool:

Awesome!
What in the world is that INTENDED to tow? You surely don't need all that for a Supra!Quote:

The first one I use all the time... the lakes only a minute or two from the house... the second one I could use but a bit excessive but I think I would win for the biggest! :)
