Nice truck, I assume you'll still need some snow chains for it? Should be fun when the winter comes along anyway

Winter tyres are compulsory here. Studded ones even better. They really are incredible to drive on. However, the one thing that's ridiculously expensive here are tyres. It'll cost over a grand to shod this on all four corners... for the discount ones! But the upshot is, you swap your winders for summers and visa versa so you get years out of each set.

Nice, when I worked in Texas in the 90's, I had the older version of this, loved it, 5l v8.
Twin tanks, but back then it was around $0.90 a gallon for 89 Ron.

I think you'd fit my house on the back of that.
