I love my blue truck color and I love my black boat, however I donβt care for the combo . Next truck will be black or white.

Finally got my boat out of the shop so I could try out my new tow vehicle. The truck hardly knows the R5 is back there.

Finally got myself another truck! 2006 LBZ Duramax with 254k miles. Got a good deal, needed some TLC but I think it'll work just fine. The wifey's Benz was working fine, but isn't quite up to the task of pulling the 5th wheel RV we have on order
Feels good to be back in a truck!

Wife's SUV will still pull occasional towing duty if we take the camper and boat at the same time.... already talking about doing that with both Powell and Havasu next summer.

Also what is the time to plane in that 5th wheel?
What pitch hitch do you use?
Any certain 5th wheel lube you recommend?

Ahhhh yes...that was on the way to Bartlett Lake. It didn't snow here where I live, but that wasn't very far away

2016 F150 with 5.0L and 3.55 gears. tows the boats very nicely.
Sadly we sold the 240 at the end of this season

We got an incredible offer on it we couldnt pass up. We will be looking for another Cobalt 24-26' range in the spring though!
