What's the range when loaded with 1,500 pounds of tools and supplies while towing a skid loader on a trailer at night in a snow storm. That's how I seem to end up using my trucks.
Do they do that with gas half tons?
Do they need to? Isn't there a gas station virtually everywhere?
Sure. But that’s just infrastructure. And that’s just a matter of time. Getting pretty good in the places where we travel. And I’m willing to bet there will be a lot less gas stations in 10 years than there is right now.
