Re: Bed Liner
I had 2 different trucks LineX and it held up very well, deck on current truck is Rhino-lined. The LineX is definitely better in my opinion, it held up well for years while I am already having issues (chips off easy) with the Rhino-line after only one year. Maybe you shouldn't park your car on it!!...

Re: training to tow trailer
Always train yourself to look up as well as straight ahead. The tree branches and other obstacles can ruin your day. Agree with hand on bottom of wheel when backing, just move that hand the same direction you want the back of the trailer to go. Turn wide, very wide, it is better to miss obstructions...

Re: Some Ford, and some Classic Trucks
I think they took a page from the HDT makers starting around 1967! :lol: Jeff Yep, but HDTs been doing that forever, I'm not saying it's a bad thing after all my truck could be mistaken for a 1997 or a 2007. I just don't think they need this hyp every year for "the All New 2013 (insert brand h...

Re: Tow Vehicle Tire Prices
So I assume the tires you got with the truck were pretty tired, so to speak. The rears were all recaps and had a lot of weather/age cracking at cap attachment area. Had a bit of strange wear on the RH steer tire, alignment check showed no problems so likely just an out of balance condition ignored ...

Re: Tow Vehicle Tire Prices
Sumitomo 709s, a regional high speed steer/versatile (any position) tire. The dealer highly recommended them for reasonable price and he does not see them come back for warranty issues.

Re: Tow Vehicle Tire Prices
At least with 20/32 inch tread on the new ones I will definitely date them out before I wear them out! New steers in 6 to 7 years and drives will depend on weather cracking.Mike Clay wrote:Yikes, big toys big bucks

Re: GM to Offer 8-speed Transmission
I hope it is not like the 10 spd I have in the FL, takes 5 shifts to cross a four lane road at an intersection!
