A friend of mine runs a duece and a half couple hundred miles round trip. He built a camper on the back. Slick rig. Gets 10 mpg. I thought that was awesome for the size of the monster. I notice though. Every time he comes to town he gets parts for it. Might be getting a little old.
He got stuck on a mountain and asked me to pull him out. I will say its probably the only time ive turned someone down. It was suicide. Wet ice with no sand on a 6% plus grade. I didnt want it strapped to me once I got it out. If we started sliding down the hill it would have gotten real ugly with him following me down with 3 times the mass hooked to the other end of a rubber band.
