With everything we have been doing around here and pulling trailers we were using 2 different trucks depending on what we were hauling, and they were both half tons. I started looking for a 3/4 ton gas dodge because i thought the diesel trucks were going to be a lot more, well they were all pretty close in price. So we found a 1 ton, with a 5.9L Cummins engine, and it was a mega cab (which Christa has always wanted).
This thing is HUGE hence the name The Land Yacht.
You would think just coming off the used car lot that they would have atleast changed the air filter. changing this gave me an extra .5 MPG.
I am horrible at taking pictures, so far we have loaded a ton of pellets in the bed and hauled them home, loaded a trailer full of IBC totes on it, and yesterday we got pretty close to a ton of hay on the bed. This thing is a beast, the most it has squat was 2" and its never hit the overloads yet, and gets 17 MPG with a ton in the bed.
We didn't get it unloaded last night and Monkey missed the bus so it was to school with a ton of hay loaded LOL.
