Congratulations to you and your wife!

Running this truck through the ringer and so far it’s taking it. My wife and I bought a house up in the northern northern CA mountains. Shingletown CA to be exact. I regularly tow 5000-7000 pounds from 500’ elevation to 4300’. Load it up with wood, off road. Haven’t washed it in almost a year. Towed our 7000lb travel trailer up a steep grade , had it floored at 4K rpm for about 3 minutes and it was 100 degrees out. Coolant temp started to come up just a hair toward the top then cooled down. Burned about 5 gallons of gas in 13 miles.

I know many of you will cringe from this post. Your welcome, love my pickup truck ??

Currently at 17,000 miles

I live in Northern California and I had never heard of Shingletown. Time for a road trip...

Awesome post. Been thinking about a travel trailer and saw one that was 6700 lbs but the tongue weight was 5 pounds more than max recommended. Fully loaded FX4, 2020. Thanks again.

Congrats on the new member of the family. They grow fast. Mine is 24, a LT in the Air Force, and stationed away from home. Enjoy them while you can.

The little 4 banger that could. So much for the old saying no replacement for displacement. Not in the age of turbos and superchargers.

Does your sis in-law work at Mercy? We absolutely loved all the nurses that cared for momma and baby while we were there. Really great people.

Tyler, she works at the bigger Hospital, that used to be called Redding Medical. I am not sure what the new name is now. My brother died 8 years ago and I don't go up there very often.

Oh cool! You’re the first person I’ve met on here from Redding, or Shasta County.
