Lakeland mud pit. Exit 38 off I-4. Go north on 33 approx 1.0 miles on the west side of the road. Open Sat night and some sundays.

When its wet theres a lot of mud. But mainly sugar sand when its dry. You gotta keep moving out there or your done.

On our way to the lake from the dealer Friday. 30BH Outback, two slides. Says the shippment weight was 6660 pounds. I don't know what it is all loaded up now. The 5.4L had no problem towing it up and down the hills.

I had a 2500 Duramax come flying past me with a trailer smaller then mine and he acted like he was all big and bad cause he pulled up beside me and then flooded it. Funny thing is all I seen was black smoke and I kept up with him and wasnt even trying... HA!

The 5.4 is a good motor, would it keep up with a duramax with the same trailers in tow. No way unless that truck was running on 6 injectors and a bad CP3 pump. Not flaming but 300 hp and 550+ ft lbs of torque vs 300 and 365, I just find it hard to believe.

Looking for a trailer, but for now I had the 95 GT on a U-Haul and the truck pulled it like there was nothing there. That said, engine's now in the car so it'll probably be a bit tougher once the car's at full weight.

My towing is not near as exotic as most of you. This is last Saturdays trip to the compost dump and have another load ready for in the morning.
