I had to give a license when buying 2 this year. Two of us were up riding and they just needed one license. Not sure if they did it wrong but the one my bud has doesn't have his license attached to it. I wouldn't worry about it - the state got the money and it wasn't used.

Hoping the snow starts arriving, like everyone else. Tentatively planning to head up a month from today. Most years the UP is great then but who knows this year.

I just saw a report using data from auctions. Supposedly the sales have slowed dramatically in the past couple weeks. No one knows if it's a blip or a trend yet, but perhaps things are starting to level off at least.

I think we rode all those 1xx trails in the Keweenaw when we were up there last week. All were fantastic.

I've been starting to research trucks. I have nothing of value to trade or sell so that doesn't help. Reading forums about different brands and options - it's not uncommon to see posts from say 2019 talking about pricing and seeing people get $8k-$10K off MSRP. Wasn't that long ago. Doesn't...

I know someone who recently bought a new chevy crew cab. Think he basically got a little off sticker price plus some small rebates they put on the 4 banger turbo. I have no idea if that's a good engine but it seems like that's what's in stock right now.

We were in that area this week. Trails were incredible!

Good point on the throttle. My 8 year old at the time, 2 years ago, was complaining about her thumb hurting on the 120, but we took the 900 out on the lake and she could work the throttle just fine (in the eco mode). She was (and still is) too small to really handle it but the throttle wasn't an...

I don't care who ya are, that's funny!

Is that a 900? I'm not a doo guy but I think that's the best engine for a family sled there is (and probably for a lot of other riders too). One of my relatives has one and it's great for the kids on the slower setting. My kids were on my 600 2 stroke last weekend and it's a bit nerve racking...

You mention Aluminum body - seems like all GM trucks rust badly above the rear wheel wells. So what years are good for Fords? A certain year they stepped it up?

Good info! My family and people I know always have had GM trucks and tahoes/suburbans etc so I'm not as familiar with fords. Although we did have a series of ford vans growing up!

Cause you are saying the ecoboost has more power when you need it for towing right? I'm just getting started into looking into a truck. I have no brand loyalty, and I tend to hold on to vehicles longer than I should.

Sounds good. Will be curious what conditions are like. As I think we mentioned, we're heading somewhere on the 22nd. I know a lot can change between now and then.

Good to know. Seems like the 5.0 might be the way to go if you want to keep it for a lot of miles.

Mileage is better with the 5.0 than the ecoboost? Or is that just with towing?

Good to hear. We parked in Tomahawk last year and headed to the UP. So was thinking about starting at the same place and heading NW instead. Tomahawk is an easy drive for us if we time the part going around chicago right (probably 6 hours from where our trailer is parked).

I'll look into that. thanks.

Is this 10 foot long?

That's great. Wondered how they would last compared to a non-boosted v8. MPGs are impressive, at least when not towing (which would be 80% of the time for me).
