Honda Ridgeline trade......

[jdc753 10+ year member]

It goes from occasionally pulling a four wheeler and picking up stuff slightly larger than a car can handle to towing a bulldozer lol. I hope this thing is smaller than a D3 if you wanna pull it around with a pickup truck. 2 years and 12,000 miles isn't even broken in yet nevermind ready to be traded in. Personally I am not a fan of the Ridgelines, all they are is cars with a open bed, don't even have a full frame unless they have revised them lately.

I'd say if you like that look at least get an avalanche, you could even find an HD avalanche and tow your bulldozer with that. Kinda hard to find ride quality and utility in the same package unless you get some custom air ride suspension. Then again I wouldn't trade the ride of my F350 for anything, its just perfect lol.

Cool, should be able to handle that with a half ton truck then. Main trouble nowadays most trucks got the motor to move the weight its the brakes that aren't up to snuff. Personally I would say go for a new Tundra (can't believe I recommended that being a die hard domestic guy lol) They seem to be doing pretty good though, maybe its just their propaganda with cool commercials lol.

Also reminded me of a project one of my dads friends did...

Cub Cadet garden tractor and the guy completely machined the track assemble and the pads and everything to convert it from a standard wheel driven tractor to a crawler.

Yeah I mainly bought the Bull Dozer to play around the house with...but you know once people know you have a bull dozer they start wanting you to do things for them....My Tacoma has the heavy duty towing package....I'm not sure if the brakes are beefed up or not.....I bought a big triple axel trailer to put my bulldozer on but I'm not sure if my truck will pull it...that thing is pretty massive

Half the point of a tow package is the trailer brake. You can tow more than a truck is rated at with some strain but stopping is another story without trailer brakes. If you need a bigger truck then look into that but getting rid of a mid size for another mid size when you only have 12,000 miles on it is just retarded. Your the kind of people the dealers love.

Honestly, yo ucould do what I"m about to do.

2008 Dodge Ram Megacab Diesel...if you dont mind going with a Dodge

Foot out of it, you'll get better than 18mpg out of the diesel, you'll have the ability to put trailer brakes on the truck and pull two of your tractors, and if you choose to go Megacab, have the room for your substage if you want it.

Also, they dont break in for about 15 years worth of your driving... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

A 1500 will pull that tractor, just carefully. I like having some more weight, power, and bigger brakes if I'm going to pull 3 axle trailer
