i know, i know... your all thinking, "What drugs is he on?"

but i thought this was worth of a mention.....

On my way home from the meet and greet today i was coming up to a set of traffic lights on a steep hill....It had been RAINING and the road was WET....

there was a 4.5 tonne truck that had stalled and was un-able to restart and he had a big load... this random FORD F-250 pulled up infront of him, jumped out, Clipped on the tow rope and just pulled this truck up the hill.... and what got me... it looked like it was effortless for the 250... to whom was also carring a load.......

i doubt he will ever read this but, Top work mate, Well done

If it was a late model F250 then it would have had 6.4L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel Engine.

I also seen at least 2 Silverardos on the way home today....

The F250/350 in particular F450 and Silverardos are no longer 4x4's they are damn trucks....

The F450 has a 10 Stud wheel running duals on the back and has a 10 ton payload (towing)...

And yet....any one can drive one on a car licence becuase all but the F450 and top range Silverardo have a less then 4.5 GVM.

yeah probably had a bigger engine than the truck
would be a good advertisement for the F250:)
