Those older Buicks are pretty nice on the highway (if you're used to riding in cars).
Better than the Taurus!

I'm too COOL (lazy) to Choose a Custom Title!!!
Got it appraised at a whopping $5500 at the local dodge/Chrysler/jeep dealership, that was my down payment back in 2008, only 82xxx miles ago. 
Oh well, I beat the hell out of it. It could use new tires, shocks and a few other things I didn't feel like investing in. Time to trade before it goes from Ford to F.O.R.D. (fix or repair daily) 
Trading down to a little 4x4 jeep patriot latitude. I want something smaller with a back seat and covered cargo area. Getting a 6 speed 4x4, 2.4 L in white so that I can't see all the scratches I'll put on it. Should be a fun little critter, just strong enough to pull my boat and get to areas the truck couldn't.

Loaded it. Big time. I need to find some scales
I think the 100 gallons of water was the clincher.
If I had to guess, the trailer is coming in at 11,000 easy. Right at the GVW for the axles, but the tires have some breathing room

11,000lbs isn't much for that truck... Not at all...

Ouch, that blows... Hopefully the tar comes off easily enough...
I hauled my trailer without the DPF for the first time.... And it's glorious.

Right on. I am jealous
I now know how long the DEF lasts. I get an actual level reading on the dash when it gets below 30%
