Re: Show/Tell us what you are haulin'
Sorry no pics, but a good story and a true one! Went to the Fairfax county landfill today to pick up some of their free mulch. As I backed toward the mulch pile there was this landscape contractor loading up his humongous GMC 4dr 4wd pickup (free mulch is for the avaerage guy, no commercial loading allowed). Anyway this guy kinda sneered at me as I backed in the Ridge next to him and proceeded to put my blue tarp in the bed. I don't baby the Ridge, but mulch gets wedged in the seam around the trunk and is hard to get out. So I load the Ridge up to the edge of the bed and fold the tarp over the mulch and secure with bunjee cords. The guy next to me is still sneering. Well if had rained A-LOT and when he went to pull out, his GMC spun so he put it in 4wd. But, he had so much mulch in the back and with that solid rear axle, the rear spun and sunk followed by the front. I put the Ridge in D and let the traction control do it's thing. As I pulled away I opened the sun roof and gave him a "friendly Wave". He was in a hurry becasue if he got caught getting free mulch as a commercial contractor, they make you pay by the pound!
Love the Ridge!
