I know a diesel would be more efficient and have more power for pulling.... but I love my v10. My Supra will get just as bad or worse mileage anyways if I'm into the boost (which you can imagine happens somewhat frequently)

Now that has class! a bit of a fixer upper, but class!!!! Recycling the jug of ??? under the front bumper would get old, but you do what you have to do to get to the hill!!!!! Gotta like it, you are obviously in this sport for the long haul! Cheers

Like the four doors for room and when pulling a four place as it is near impossible with my rig. And two doors with two sleds works okay and the mileage is high twentys!!!!
Skiers and Snowshoers actually wave when we park and wanna chat???
Although I do get alot of :fear: when in a parking lot full of trucks like you guys have.

The truck hasn't been to the hills yet, but the 900 has. LOL. My buddy's Dodge, 2006, Cummins.

Otherwise my 2001 5.9 gasser, has made the long drive out west, at 7 mpg.

So what happens when your sled has more H.P. than your tow rig?

I voted GMC, but my truck is only about 80% GMC since now it is powered by a 24v CUMMINS:face-icon-small-coo Thats what I spent most of last winter doing. I will have to get some more pics of the truck but here is a pic from two days ago I just bought a new enclosed trailer that I am wicked excited about

Here is my 08 F150 with a 2" Tuff Country lift (lift not pictured). Still saving for new tires. The trailer is a 03 Karavan. I want to get an enclosed, but that won't be until the truck is paid off at least.

My snow show purchase.
SilverLake Mfg. Sled Deck

I basically rebuilt it from the frame up.
* New pressure treated decking.
* New wiring
* New LED running lights
* New loading lights
* New [url=http://www.superclamp.net/]Super Glides[/url] on the deck (2 rows in the middle as well, for hauling solo)
* New [url=http://www.caliberproductsinc.com/s_gripglides.htm]Caliber Grip Glides[/url] on the ramp & beavertail

That's a pretty shiny looking setup you got there Jeff, I like your oval LEDs.... :beer;

I finally got my sled loaded on the deck a few weeks ago and posted it down in trucks & trailers, but forgot to post it here...

It measures 9'-6" to the top of the mountain bar Top heavy sucker, lol

Finally got the sled on the deck for the first time..... pretty steep ramp for a first timer, lol... but all was good, easier than I thought to load despite the steep 8' ramp.
