Default Re: Reader's Digest - Truck Sizing

If you are looking used, you can get some excellent deals on full sized trucks right now. people are for some reason dumping trucks that get 12 mpg (large V8 3/4 and 1 ton). The dealers are about giving them away now...

If you fill the rear tires with fluid (and you should for best back hoe use), you are looking at 7000-7500 for the L35 and that would probably be best riding a 12,000 or 14,000# goose neck trailer. 24' long should give you room for all the stuff.
