Hi Chris, First time I saw one up close was a gal pulling a 30' camper into the county fairgrounds. Found out how much the V-8 was rated at and set out to drive one later in the week. Test drive was last Friday and I knew this truck fit the bill in the first 200' down the road! Dealer let me take it home for the weekend. Did not need that long because I bought it Saturday. Drives great, stops great, will pull my trailer full of tractors, and has ample room in the back for what I have in mind. The style reminds me of the late 70"s Ford Econoline I once owned except one can actually see the NV engine and easily get to the normal maintenance items. Adding a P3 brake controller this weekend and will be ready for the next tractor show on 9-18-15. Will post pics going over the pass. Best Regards, Mike
