So my reason is truly cost related. It would be another 8K for the diesel along with more expensive to maintain. Everything I’ve read on the 7.3 says it’s really up to the job for as much as I want to tow, 12-13000 lbs. And I just won’t put enough miles on it to justify a diesel.

The ride is a little rough empty. My F150 rode pretty rough empty as well but this is worse!

The color is their Carbon Gray. I usually do black trucks but I like this one.

My F150 had the 5.0. My sled trailer is a 4 Place enclosed and we got about 10 pulling it but never ran more than 70 with it. It just pushed the truck around more than I liked.

Been starting to plan for the end of the working life stage and go to the enjoying life stage. One of the things we want to do is camp/travel more and move up to a 5th wheel and the old 2016 F150 wasn't going to be up to the task so we went big. Its a 2023 F350 with the 7.3 gas engine. Only took...

I've always enjoyed riding in the Black Hills. Haven't done it for years but need to again.

Thats such a neat spot. So much easier to get up there during the winter than having to hike up in the summer!

A 137" would be fine, just not that suspension. Or just go buy yourself an Assault and put a 2" track on it. Then you'll be rocking! We are heading up Friday, hopefully we get some fresh snow up there!

We need to get you on a real sled Kevin!

It was a fantastic year in Northern MN. We had rideable snow from 12/15 thru now. Still planning to go this weekend and a late April ride. Throw in a trip to Utah and it was another good year with 0 mechanical issues!

I ended the year at about 1200 miles on my sled, pretty equally split between just riding from home and from the cabin. Fantastic conditions in both spots. Then there was also maybe 200 miles in Utah.

The stucks get to be a lot more work when the kids are on mtn sleds. Last year in West Yellowstone a couple of them had me worried when it was just my son and I. He feels we'll eventually dig out of anything, and he's probably right, but my tired old butt would be fine avoiding some of them.

This is our Bernedoodle, Bascom. He's 3 and is just the happiest, friendliest dog ever. Makes me smile everyday.

Rode the north shore over the weekend and it was excellent. Lots of snow, will be good for a month yet. Rode northern Carlton Cty on Wednesday and it was very good also.

Yeah, not all places are reporting. I was actually surprised the total snowfall at mine wasn't higher based on the snow on the ground. That reporting station, Wolf Ridge ELC, is about 1 mile from my cabin on the same ridgeline so I'm guessing it's accurate.

This is the info for the reporting station near my cabin. https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=dlh

The NWS has that info from reporting stations. Just found it yesterday and will try to find the link again.

I rode the Iron River/Bayfield County area on Saturday and it was excellent. Lots of snow and lots of trails and lots of forest roads to ride. We used to ride in that area all the time and it's always been good. Regarding the north shore, it's in great condition. 4' of snow on the ground near...

A friend who has a cabin near mine in Finland has 50" on his snow stake right now. I have 34" on the ground at my house. We'll be riding into late April again. And they are calling for a bunch this Friday also.

We rented a golf cart to get around. She must’ve rented a scooter. Hard to drink while driving a scooter and I have yrs of experience drinking while driving a golf cart. Just not usually on roads.
