    and my lite little first gen Tacoma blows all over the road. She is a handful
    WHen the wind is whipping. Gust's up to 45, and was sketchy on the freeway. Not sure what this trucks weight is, but it has to be under or around 3500lbs.

    The old diesel dodge doesn't even notice it.


    That's all, carry on.

    I think they weigh more than that but yes they do get whipped around in the wind...

    When I drove my truck back from Anchorage, AK where I bought it...(mind you I had some very bald winter tires with nubs.. I mean stubs) I was blown off the road somewhere a few hours before Tok. Roads were pretty slick and I hit the crest of a hill at just the right moment and speed when the forecasted 65mph winds caught me and spun me 180 and I went backwards into 4' of thankfully fluffy snow. That was fun!
