I posted earlier in this thread when the Volvo
arrived last summer and now here is the truck
with the new hydraulic Smart Car Loader. We used
it for the first time a couple of weekends ago.
Here are a few pictures.

After the Volvo I'm feeling a bit inadequate.

Here's my 2003 Toyota Sequoia on the day we picked up our 2016 Shasta Oasis in April. Jury's still out, but thinking my 118" wheelbase could be a bit longer to comfortably tow the 28'11" Shasta. Using a Blue Ox Sway Pro WDH.

Nice looking rig, Speedway. Knew you were close at Mt Comfort. We live about 35 mi on east of there. Nice people. Have a safe trip!

As a Powerstroke mechanic and owner to another new owner.... I just want to ask... Are you sure it's bulletproofed?? My buddy bought a truck, the guy told him everything was done and turns out the only thing it had was an EGR delete. Just wanted to make sure you knew how to check to see if it was indeed studded and any other mods. You can physically see the head bolts and know for sure whether it's done or not. Here's what studs look like. The bolt next to the EGT probe wire. Should be an Allen drive in the center and a 12pt nut. They are visible all along the bottom of the valve cover. If it looks like a regular old hex bolt head then it hasn't been studded. Just an FYI.
