That truck will be a hell of a truck for your needs.

We always ran extended cab 1 ton diesels with the dump beds back in my landscaping days. I always grabbed the keys to those trucks first before the regular bed trucks. The flat bed so much more convenient.

I'm willing to guess you won't lose too much mpg pulling a load. I would pull our John Deere tractor and 2 Bobcats and pretty sure I didn't lose much mpgs even with that heavy of a load. Of course I can't say for sure what we got b/c we never tracked it.

Yeah I don't see it being a huge loss like it was with the 2500... It could be a all in one truck but most likely we will be getting a new 2500 pick up soon!

We built sides on it with 2X10'x12' and 2X4's today until we have the cash for the metal sides we want.

Looks good Brian. Did you build that after you left my place? If so you work fast, about as fast as your driving. :)
