It's rated for it on a gooseneck. I wouldn't be able to pull that off the bumper.

Oh fark, with that set up you can get to the moon and back! Of course not the real Moon but the one which was staged inside some soundstage in Hollyweird in 1969 🤣

That truck, it has the tow ball welded to the bumper?! It's well modern enough to have the proper hitch welded to the frame, unless that is what you had meant? Anyhoo, don't let me second guess you; y'all be fine. I also like that hauling trailer :)

Jo and I need to go up to Illinois to pick up a little Makino graphite Mill. I don't want to take the 450 because it doesn't have air conditioning so we're going to take the little one.

At 8500 lb the mill is within the capacity of the trailer, and the load is within the capacity of the truck, but it's kind of a haul and there's some mountains in there.

A gooseneck is like a fifth wheel arrangement where the ball is in the bed just ahead of the rear axle.

That and an old 7.3 l powerstroke turbo diesel and pull just about anything. Slowly.20230901_182220.jpg

Back in the day I had a RAM cummins diesel 4x4 (oh must've been like a 2006 or something) with standard transmission and a MoFo of a gooseneck in the bed. Josh would've creamed all over that truck, nice lift nothing too gawd awful like what some peep do these days ruining their trucks. That RAM could've pulled anything and when I put out up for sale, some dude all the way from Nova Scotia bought it. Imagine how badly he wanted it to pay the transportation from San Diego to Nova Scotia!!! I think I may know what a gooseneck is for ;)

In case you already forgot ,coz I've derailed this thread for long enough, I still luv ye mane :)

Well, for Canucks, putting "goose####" in the listing probably adds +300 desirability 😅
 
I was doing some archival music research and found this old gem penned by Casinostocks Casinostocks in a moment of prescience and unusual clarity...

I love Nathan in the springtime
I love Nathan in the fall
I love Nathan in the winter, when it drizzles
I love Nathan in the summer, when it sizzles.

I love Nathan every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Nathan, why, oh why do I love Nathan?
Because Delta 3V's so dear.


He loves Nathan. Whaddaya gonna do? 🤷‍♂️

I was honestly waiting for Blues to come up with another dandy fine ode like ^ the one. I am musically challenged and very tone deaf so I can't write lyrics, poems or hum any tunes :( But I pledge my unwavering Wuv to Nathan almost every month :)

Just ask, Matty. I'm always happy to pen a ditty for you if I'm able. 'Tis the season.
 
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But Matty's love is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

New CPKs show signs of dropping
Which other knives won't be topping
The edge is tuned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

When Mat kisses our Nate goodnight
How it makes poor Jo feel so forlorn,
But if you really hold your Shiv real tight
All the way home you'll be warm...

(etc.)
 
There is a solid reason why Mat has not made one single post in the whatcha eating thread! LOLz.

P.S. E, since you are kindly my whisper poet, why not put on the apron and make the Boss some chicken noodle soup? You do live closer also :)
