The "TACO WAGON" has arrived

[deerefan]

I like it! Good looking truck. Bought my first Ram in November. Has the off road package and the Cummins. Enjoying it so far.

That's a pretty truck, deerefan. Looks like you might be in for some stormy weather there in the background. Hard to tell the color - is it silver. I don't think the PW comes in diesel.

400 miles and still getting 14.1mpg. BTW - over the grain scales in Cheney 7795#.

I'll try the grain scales again later. That weight might be a bit off. The scales platform had a foot of snow on it.

PW will be available with the diesel option in 2020 for sure...

Went for a short trip this morning. Out in the wheat flats the wind is screaming and what little snow is on the fields is making drifts on the county roads. This cold weather, lack of snow cover & winds won't be doing the winter wheat any good.

It is white. Really like it. Tows extremely well.

Heating plus heated seat or air conditioning with ventilated seats is located in the RADIO settings under "Remote Start Comfort System" - below 40 and you get heat, above 70 and you get AC IF you remote start.

P.S. I'm so glad I mentioned the 2 glove boxes to you.

 

[oosik]

Yeah - coldsteelva. I would have never guessed TWO glove boxes. It's been cold enough that I've pretty much stayed inside. Overnight it kicked up its heels and now I've got eight inches of snow on the flat & level.

Sooo - now I check the extended forecast and see if we have more snow coming. Otherwise, at eight inches - I'll just let it be. If we are scheduled for more - then I will plow this stuff.

Eight inches is the break point. The mail man can still get to the mailbox without plowing. I can easily get out the driveway without plowing. Besides - the Kubota DOES NOT have a heated seat nor steering wheel - ha, ha.

I enjoy plowing with the Kubota and the heavy duty rear blade. It's all the farking around that's not so much fun. Dressing up like an Eskimo and getting ready to go outside.

However - like it or not - - it might come to that.

Well - the extended forecast is for snow the remainder of this week. So, I'll be dusting off the cold wx gear and heading out around daybreak. It is excellent temps for plowing - +15F - and no wind.

 

[coldsteelva]

No wind is the ideal for plowing or blowing snow. I can prepare for cold and I even wear ski goggles for visibility and contrast, but when that wind is blowing - it just sucks the life out of you while driving the cold into you

No, but it would sure be nice if it did!

I have a Mate in Canberra who rides motorcycles... he has a U.S. made set of heated gloves/gauntlets for when he rides in the cold (and, yes, it can get quite nippy around the ACT).

They're like 'idiot mittens' with a wire going down each sleeve to plug into the gloves; a battery pack is in his chest pocket (I think).
