First tow with the new truck:)

[Orcas Tow]

I finally took delivery of my new 450 4X4 a few days ago & she's on her first job.

That is nice. Bought a similar unit but can't seem to get pics to post. Any suggestions?

[Orcas Tow]

I just drug them into the post from my "pictures", way easier than Photobucket for me.

I tried that couldn't get to work so I use tow photos and did the url Thanks

Did you get gas or diesel?

I ordered the V10 gas. On Beautiful Orcas Island (21 miles across) Diesel is $1 more than gas per gallon, my trips are never longer than 15 miles from my office, the heater is blowing warm by the time I get to the end of my driveway, the diesel was $9,000 more than the V10, I run a repair shop & we are constantly seeing egr & emissions/coking up with other diesels on my island as they don't get run hard or for long periods of time, so gas:). Love it other than an average of 7mpg but our top speed limit here is also only 40mph. I did have the Miller chassis speced with a 350lb counterweight behind the front bumper to keep the front axle on the ground.

Googled Orcas island, very pretty, will have to visit it sometime. Makes sense why you need a compact truck.

Nice truck!

 

I've been to Orcas Island, beautiful place.

 

Didn't need a tow while there, so didn't get to meet you 😉
