You know I was thinking that as I replied to Marc's post myself. I was
telling my father the other day that next Hurricane season I might be able
to make it to our plant facility even in the worst conditions. I can just
see me pulling up to a customer to pick up their scrap wheels in my wife's
H2.
On a side note, my father and I were also mulling about replacing our Rams
with H1's one day for work one day for just that impression I described
before. We tow about 8000 Lbs or scrap in our trailers daily, and the H1
would more than tackle that. If the H2 came in diesel we would do it now.
Our junkyard buddies would flip out if we drove in with those bad boys lol.
