    Oh good I am glad you found a buyer for Casper.
    ---------------------------------------------------
    I told the wife this event and she said I should share it with you as well.
    Each weekend the wife and I get our propane bottles refilled at Viking Lumber. When I am at the counter.
    The cashier asks if I would like a receipt?
    I respond with "Why? You wont let me return the empties"
    Cashier responds with a "Goodbye Willy"
    We both laugh.

    Oh the fun of being odd.

    Could be a logging trruck from here with 44k-50k rear axles. Tho they generally dont have spleepers when hauling logs

    I'm ok with the interior, Kinda light and boring.

    Did you catch that the auto is a 13 speed not a 10?

    Lumber stacked on rocky mountain doubles........ The heavy duty axles give you the ability to pull heavy gross without snapping stuff.

    Price I was thinking the same thing....... But that may be because the truck looks cool? And it is an asking price subject to negotiation.

    just poked around the KW site, looks like default axle is the 40k set? Not a bad idea, I do prefer my axles to not be the weak link.

    And If you put the 2 side by side and told me I had to make a choice........

    It would be Casper, Just better suited to how I run, But my left knee would still whine about the 10 speed standard.
