Only negative I've heard is fuel consumption. My son in law was trying to find one he liked before he ended up buying the 6.0 he bought.

V10 gets about the same mpg when empty or when pulling...I think my neighbor is around 10-11 mpgs

Yeah not great. Still mulling what to do. Looking at excursions now, either v10 or 7.3.

We are going down to South Texas in a couple of weeks to watch our grandson in the 6 man football playoffs. He plays on a home school team, they've lost just one game.

Have fun....

There's already talk in our school to limit dual sports activities by students...

9 soccer players were football players too...6 of them were starters ...the football coach is pissed cause they lost the football game Friday night without them...I don't blame those kids on choosing to go to state over a regular season game....imo

Get to buy a new refrig/freezer tomorrow. Yippee! Ours just went out. I think it's just the fan but this thing has gone down 3 times. Not interested in repairing it again.

There is a thread around here somewhere about how to/not to load it in your truck.

When I'm in East Texas I go down the road all time where he lost that frige. Know right where it happened. I've told him that I still see parts on the side if the road.

productive weekend, but feel like I just put a dent in it. Gonna be a long week to cut and process everything we cut down.

I did give up on cutting more off the tree and gonna hire someone to finish it off. Its much too tall for my capabilities. Can't get even close with a 12' ladder, my 6'6" frame and a 14' extended pole saw
