I drove the Ranger from Georgia to New Jersey yesterday. It was exhausting! But it's good to be seeing family. And I have a great view!

Be glad you left when you did. I drove south bound I95 the day before. Stopped at the GA welcome center, nice trip so far.
Then the rain dumps started coming and there's the sign stretching across the highway. "Accident marker 88. All lanes blocked"
Long story short, I came to a halt at exit 93, and barely crawled for the next 2 hours with continuing rain downpours. Fun times.
Good news is the Ranger had no cooling issues even with ac on, drank a bit of fuel but not bad, and I made it to destination safely. This was my first long journey in the truck. Trip average 22.3mpg.

On my return trip I got into some weather in SC. I actually used my snorkel on a flooded portion of interstate. The car ahead of me swerved right to avoid the deep water, causing the tractor trailer to my right to swerve left into my path, forcing me onto the shoulder where the water was DEEP!

I was interested in how many face cords of wood would fit in a Supercrew bed and the and the answer depends on how long your logs are. If your logs are 16” long, then one face cord will fit in the bed.

What surprised me about the wood in the Ranger, was that each of the three rows of stacked wood, was almost a bush buggy trailer full. Pic is of the second row in the trailer. The Ranger holds a lot of fire wood.

Free firewood where you live is like free natural gas and power here in Hogtown - nice score Gary!

Was it already split or was that your handiwork?

Man, I thought my garage was tight. Please post the link to the giant shoe horn you use to get your truck in there. ?

Mowed the yard, bagged the grass, and took it to the grass dump. Part of the yard I hadn't mowed in two weeks so the truck was full.

It was already split. I could not pass it up, even if it was Basswood.
