Oh nice
Got me thinkin'...I have a '10 SCrew 4x4 5.4L. Maybe some day, what did that run you if you don't mind me askin? Any issues with anything?
Oh nice
2010 3v with 6 speed = NICE.
I haven't taken the truck down the track. No idea what it would do. It's 5600lbs so I imagine low 13's maybe high 12's if I beat the tree.
No problems to date. I don't beat on it thou.

Mine weighs around 63-6400 with me in it, and I don't beat on mine either. Just a nice work truck, XLT 5.5' box with 35's on it. Just turned 38,000 miles
Sounds a little heavy for a 5.5ft box.
Hardly even broken in. Mines got 175'000kms or about 108'000 miles on it.
Nice SD by the way. 6.2 BOSS?

Toolbox in the bed, my fat arse, big tires, work stuff and tools etc. I ran it across the scale at one of our quarries, with a full tank that's what it said. I run jobs in the summer when we are busy and get a company truck so that keeps the miles off mine. I have an 08 F150 SCrew 4x4 company truck now with over 218k on it and drive it every day. What SD? Mines an F150 also

Very nice! How do you like that trailer for wood hauling duty? What kind of capacity does it have?

I absolutely love the trailer. Its worth its weight in gold...Tows like its not even there when its fully loaded. It measures 5.5x8", bump breaks, and rated for 3500lbs payload. I have put way more than that in it and its been fine. I really like the pintle set up for off road usage. Below is a generic copy of the specs.
Best part, bought it at military auction for $350 with new tires. I have hauled over 30+ cords in it and it just keeps going. I have the canopy for it too but never use it.

Nice rig. I had a silver 2004 2500 Cummins. If I could turn back time I would not have got rid of it. I miss that damn truck every day. I like my 2010 but it's not a Cummins.

Great Pictures, nice setup and property.
Here are my wood hauling photos.
Its finally been cold enough this week to haul in some more fuel from "out back" in my woods. Used my chained JD mower and cart the first few days. Today I hooked the trailer up to the Highlander and went out for a load of some 3 year old ash and pignut that had been laying in the woods. Cut the pignut in the trailer in the first photo with a plain 036 that I just finished putting a "Pro" compensating carb ($24 shipped from Hong Kong) and "Pro" large-bearing/rim sprocket on, both OEM. The saw already had the adjustable oiler, but no decomp valve. Jury-rigged up a new tank vent since the old style vent blocked the new pro air filter. It cut real nice with a 20" bar on it.
Can anyone identify that tree right behind my left shoulder?

That same tree is just behind the car, another slightly bigger one to the right by the downed red oak top........ I have 110 tops like that down on the ground from timbering last May left to cut. The kids 10'x13'x13' triangular tree house (my deer stand) is in 3 beech trees behind it. Those heated leather seats in the Highlander sure feel good on your butt after a few hours cutting out there in 14 degree temps.

It all goes down into the "Bilco" door pit and into the Charmaster combo furnace in the basement.

I've use everything here to "haul wood" depending on the ground conditions................ wheelbarrow, cart, and trailer!
