2000 Eddie expedition living lavish with heated leather seats and air ride. Lol. Baby never misses a beat unless I try to put it through a 6 foot drifted road but she gives it her all. Until it's time to break the sleds out.

This year it will be a 2013 f-150 Ecoboost. I had it for the end of last year. This will be its last winter with me as it just rolled 64,000. My 2004 chevy 2500 will likely see a few trips also.

Ya, it took a beating then...especially over by Milwaukee. Some fat old guy in a Packer's shack kept ordering ten at a time, with herring on them!  :whistle: ;)2

No, but that is really cool. I use a 2002 Chevy Blazer 4x4 with a 4.3L engine. best mileage I got with it was 26.4mpg with the wind at my arse. 24.0 mpg is about normal for highway use.

I mainly fish the pond near my house (right across the street), therefore my main pulling vehicle is my shepherd/golden mix named Apollo, handles a variety of conditions and terrain, fuel is cheap, lots of pulling power, never have to worry about the heat not working or oil changes.
