Paint getting roughed in.

I decided to go with a quality exterior house paint for the box. I'm putting it on with a Wagner.

And yes, that's our last Xmas tree. There's been a burn ban here.

So it WILL pull a trailer. Nice.

How does it do with that load?

Joe,
The NPR is a 1997. It pulls that trailer at 60mph getting 10mpg. that picture is at Watkins Glen, which is about 6 hours from my house. I bought the truck new in '96 and have put over 140 thousand miles on it. I also have an open car hauler that I haul my VW powered woods buggy to the mud. It hauls a lot lighter than the loaded enclosed trailer.
