Got bored yesterday during our snow storm ( we got 5-7 inches) so I wanted to know how the F-150 would tow the pod in the snow. So I hooked her up and towed around town for a bit. Got a few weird looks but had a blast. The F-150 towed the pod great even in the snow.
Got another 4-5 inches last night. Winter is going to be lonnng!

That NEW F-150 should pull your pod like a dream Leo.  Our '94 F-150 pulls our 177 real nice.  Just today, coming home from work (we only got 4" of snow today) a deer stood out in the middle of the road so I downshift to 2nd gear and the deer continues to watch me as I continue to get closer and closer.  Now I downshift to 1st and am traveling at 10 mph, the dumb thing continues to watch as I am about ready to make contact with it.  As I brake just before impact (no, I am not trying to get my 32nd deer kill just yet with this truck) the deer finally decides, Hmmm I better get out of the way.  That is the way deer are in northern Michigan.

Yeah Jato, I remember years ago a deer hit me in WI, I did everything I could to miss him. He banged into my drivers door. I was dang near stopped and he got up and walked away.

Hey Leo,

Are going to cut a hole in the Pod floor or use the RDome for your ice fish fishing camping this year?!
