Good way to destroy a toyhauler. They're built like garbage already and now add salt into the mix.

Got to get a Logan or rpm if using for sleds they at least start as sled trailers . But heavy as fuck . My buds Logan is just to fucking big  and heavy for mountian passes on winter . He did order a smaller Logan but they were like 14mo out this spring .

Ya those are nice and much more suited for winter.

Only time will tell. My next vehicle for my wife will definitely be a Tesla. Not sure when. Pisses me off how much money brother is saving on fuel.

Wife's 2021 Honda gets 38MPG beating on it. 

Fucking thing will last 30 years too just like my Prelude sitting in the garage. 

Tesla will be burnt to the ground by then.  :lol:

When Honda started selling in North America they would be rotten from rust in 5 yrs. As did all the other jap vehicles.

When they going to start charging road tax on ev’s?

things weigh on average 1000lbs more than comparable gas rig.

Some states have started charging more for registration/plates to make up for the gas tax.

A toy hauler is no different than an enclosed trailer. 

I have both. They are totally different.

If and when they make a 250 or a 350 and have respectable range towing, you'd have to be an idiot Not to get one.

Can’t wait to buy an EV once they’re 2-3x better than they are now cause that’ll happen easy

I can pull my 5 place loaded with 4 people in it over 300 miles before filling.  I can fill completely up in about 5 minutes and be back on the road.   When an EV can do that I'll consider one.

Yep....with a 36 gallon tank.   It's beautiful man. 

Nice! I recently got a 55 gallon Titan tank put on my truck for a little more range.

Can’t remember which state but one I saw was 9-1200 bucks a year to renew the plate. That should cover the taxes.

Stock 36 gallon on mine.   300 miles is enough....need to stretch the legs at some point. :lmao:

Yeah a deleted diesel is still best for towing 

electric can make some PAH but the range is garbo 

I’d say there’s a good reason that the Tesla semi is still a dream

Mine's not deleted.   Get around 10 mpg with the trailer loaded with 5 sleds and gear.   Its an over the wheel triple axle so while it tracks well it catches a lot of wind.  Inline 4 place I can get a couple better.  36 gallon tanks are nice.

Deleting a diesel pick up is ok if you plan to keep it for awhile. Otherwise there's very little gains on mpg and you void your warranty. I've deleted a few but don't anymore.

Increased mine by 3 mpg 

6.7 dodge usually see a lot more than that 

What did you delete? The egr on a 6.0 Ford?
