Question about HDJ81s and towing

I am not sure about too many things, but I am sure that you dont want ALL our women. I saw this great-big-ol-tub-o-goo heave herself into an F250 the other day and had to question if the truck was labeled incorrectly; it jiggled and wobbled and leaned really badly once she finally got in.

So is the 80 series considered a short wheelbase vehicle then?

wheelbase

Well, not as short as some (Just so we're clear. God knows I don't want to offend anyone on the design team again...), but I use the control device on a Dodge Ram 2500 pickup with a 6' bed. Not truly "short," but there was a huge difference with and without the control bar. You'll love the thing first time you have to make a quick evasive maneuver. In fact, I'd install the control bar before electric brakes.
 
Hill,

Here in Calgary there is a F*RD dealership on Macleod that has 2 LX470s and 2 GX470s. They have been importing them up from Pheonix. We really liked the LX. I doubt that we would buy one from them. I fly down to Dallas every few weeks for work. My plan is to find either a nice 80 or 100 series or a nice GX in Dallas and either have it shipped up or drive it up, although that would be a hell of a drive from Dallas to Calgary. Why Dallas, why not B.C.? RUST and market value. Nice cars are stinking cheap down in Dallas compared to Calgary.
