I dont know what I would do without my full sized pickup truck

[MTLabrador]

My mechanic just called. The Heartbeat of America is going to need a new transmission very soon. “Borrowed time” was an exact quote. He’s working up a quote for me to give to our fleet manager. Hooray.

I rode in a pursuit rated F150 with the 10 speed and high output 3.5 the other day. That is the truck you need. Tell fleet to buy a bunch of them.

Good thing he’s got that brand new Cummins 3500 with a flat bed to tow those two kayaks back home to montana. No way a FRIGGIN COROLLA could do that!

No, but the one in the right lane could!

Back to trucks!

My state issued pick-up truck is made by the lowest bidder. Sometimes it's a Chevy sometimes its a Ford...

Currently it's a Silverado 1500 with the turning radius of a school bus but it's certainly in the shop less then my last Ford.

Now if we can just get Toyota in on the game...

As if God himself read this post and wanted a laugh...

Blew the transmission in pretty dramatic fashion on the Silverado yesterday. 2018 w/ 105k miles

My work truck is a 2020 Silverado. Gotta say I'm not very impressed. But it's only got the V6 so maybe it doesn't have enough power to blow the transmission.

And it's for sale!

Took my kids and couple of their neighborhood friends out to a sporting event yesterday.

Little guy (6?) from a couple houses down gets in my truck...

"Man, I've never ridden in a TRUCK before!" Pure adventure and inspiration.

See, that ain't happening in a subaru.

In the old days I would cut a load of 9' logs, throw them around like nothing, fill up my full size ...after a day of framing.
Now it is cut a load of 6' logs after resting from work for a day. Thank goodness for my Tundra.

Well, it appears borrowed time = about six weeks and four thousand miles. I thought I might need the tow truck option to get home today. The HOA goes in Monday.
