    Towing 10.1K with either Toyota Tundra SR5 OR F150 which is better?

    If it didn't keep selling in the #1 spot for 46 years maybe you'd have something there... Milli Vanilli sold a lot of albums over the course of a few years. I don't drive a Ford and I never plan to, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a Toyota. Being born and raised just north of the the motor...

    Towing 10.1K with either Toyota Tundra SR5 OR F150 which is better?

    Toyota VS Ford? The F150 is light years ahead of Toyota (period) "The Ford F-Series is still the number one best-selling truck for 46 consecutive years. Ford delivered over 650,000 examples of the F-Series in 2022" 5.0L F150 gets my vote

    Busted rear diff dodge 2500

    V8’s are definitely in the minority when it comes to heavy equipment though… by far. Yeah, but they’ve all been superseded now-a-days in the US by the inline 6 configuration. Nothing like the sound of a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel though… 👍🏼

    I totally agree with that and I understand. However them forcing sub-par problematic emissions systems on the public is an issue. These systems are in need of a major overhaul / redesign when it comes to reliability. The public is paying out the nose, meanwhile they get a free pass.

    Propane prices..

    I just pre-paid for this winters propane. I didn't know how much it would be this winter with the price of everything going up so I figured it can't hurt... the price of propane definitely won't be going down anytime soon. I got 850 gallons @ $2.09

    See if T-Mobile is available in your area Free equipment, $50 a month out the door, speeds vary but I've seen almost 200mb down. If it doesn't work out you can send back the modem and cancel with no fees.
