Chrome doesn't make you any money.:beatsme
But it's still nice to chicken out your truck just a bit. :naughty

theres a landscaper around here that has that same truck just red, he liked the look of the drop visor we have on the two petes at work so he had the dealer put the same drop visor on his ( i think it a 12" drop). it looks pretty cool if you ask me

Orchard pete, I am curious what you do with that Pete to pay for it. I hear on here constantly that you can't make money with a single axle truck and yet you buy a really fancy Pete and seem to be making money with it.

just curious

The equipment makes the money not the truck. Atlesast thats how it is for us. I dont think you can make money trucking with just a single axle.

Jerry,
I do light excavation and hardscaping to support my truck and equipment habit. Dig footers for additions, rework yards, build/regrade driveways etc. and a bunch of paver patios and sidewalks. The Pete tows the other equipment and fetches paver base, sand, topsoil whatever. I run a few "homeowner loads" of material too. In corporate terms "The single axle fits our business model". That may not work for others, their business is different. I may outgrow it and need a triaxle one day, who knows.:beatsme

One guy near here ran a single axle Ford for as long as I can remember and put food on the table and kids through school with it. One material yard was running 3 or 4 singles and only 1 tandem.

You have to run what works for you, not not what works for a guy in another state or another country. (That's my polite way of saying that some of what is posted on here is BS )
BTW - Who says I'm making any money
