    Yes as I have Ben Running a Landcape buisness for 15 years, gas was costing me over 12,000 a year, so downsized I didn't need a truck that towed over 10,000 pounds.. As far as problems none there pretty Bullet Proof Tow Vehicles, Just Horrible on Gas..

    Where do you originate from? Lol i remember in 2013 new york had low 90s and a 70 percent humidity and people were passing out n shit all over the place. Me working in a warehouse in florida laughed as i went back to the trailer i was emptying by hand in 150 degrees(like an oven in them) with 90 percent plus humidity

    Well this is refreshing, a POSITIVE thread regarding the 3rd gen. I purchased an NA Miata for track duty and plan to use my truck to tow it. I'm curious to see how it'll do with that much weight behind it.
