Is whatever you decide to buy going to be a daily driver or just a tow pig?
Tow rig, but when we camp, I'll be want to be able to easily get around the area we are in.

I'm more interested in what make is more reliable between Ram, Ford and Chevy and what years are better or worse. I'm open to buy used.
I'm sure I'll go for a minimum 350, but gas or diesel will depend on what I can find at the best price. Preference will be a dually.
I ride it every few years and never have a problem.

Best thing you can do is get him into lifting weights, he has natural test. flowing through him right now, take advantage of that. His self confidence will explode once the muscles start coming in. My son showed the talent and size to be a good HS football player, but by 8th or 9th grade he wasn't interested in it. So I got him interested in lifting. Join a gym and hire him a trainer. You can start out lifting with him, hopefully he get the bug and do it on his own. Also I would try to get him into BJJ.

No doubt, the tow vehicle will be worth twice the value of the 5th wheel.
We’ve had a bumper pull and were a couple days away from buying a Class A, but once my wife saw the layout of the 5th wheel, she was hooked.
Tow vehicle for 5th wheel

I recently “unexpectedly” came into possession of a 2021 Grand Design Solitude ST346FLS-R Fifth Wheel Camper, GVWR of 16,800 Ibs and UV (Dry Weight) of 14,198 Ibs. It was a combination deal with a piece of property i purchased.
Give me recommendations on a tow vehicle. I’m assuming i will need a one ton F350 or equivalent? Is a dually necessary? If so, how much of a PITA is a dually to drive around city streets and park? A vehicle that is a few years old is fine. Diesel the best option?

Why is just not a ticket, vs being arrested? Seems like a huge waste of resources, give a ticket with a $100 to $500 fine and move on.

I am at a loss as to how some southern's can still believe that slavery wasn't the driver of the CW. I mean you can read in the Articles of Succession.

It is amazing to me that this continuous lie was told about why the civil war even happened.
Slavery was never the reason. Lincoln didn’t even want to stop it. He even wrote that he didn’t believe it was his right to stop it.
Four Southern states—Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas—issued formal "Declarations of Causes" alongside their ordinances of secession, which explicitly cite the protection of slavery as a primary motivation.

Our family is overwhelmingly British isles with a little German and French. My wife had been told that one of her great, great grandmothers was cherokee(I know, Cherokee princess). We get results, and I turn out to have 0-1% Ghana ancestry while wife turns out to be almost 100% English with no native american. She and her sister were crushed.
Everyone I grew up with had a tale about a full blooded Indian great grandmother, including my family. When my DNA results come back, 0 Native American :lol:

re: Mark Cuban is fed up with rural and urban hospitals crying poor/claiming insolvency
Posted by greenbean on 4/2/26 at 6:45 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
in a very sparsely populated area of MS (Greenwood/Grenada/Winona), there are 3 hospitals all within 25 miles of each other. Greenwood is constantly on verge of closing (any maybe Winona?), but Grenada is doing well. Why not close Greenwood and Winona and put more resources in Grenada so it can serve the other two communities?
No Jxn, MS? Come on, if Memphis made it...

It's not gay if you're underway.
100 men go out, 50 couples come back.
As they way in the Navy, you're not a man, until you've been with a man.

Absolutely nothing and I work in Jxn, MS which is the most dangerous city in the US.
Situational awareness and staying out of bad areas is all you need.
Plus castle doctrine/self defense, etc., wouldn't matter much if I (white guy) shot someone in Jxn, as the DA would try to fry my a$$.

This is why I laugh when people complain about kids not learning cursive anymore. If they had spent half as much time caring about legibility as they do whining about it disappearing, cursive might’ve actually kept a functional purpose.
Instead, you’ve got a bunch of people who “learned” it and now act like it’s some lost art, while writing in cursive that no one else can read. If the end result is illegible 90% of the time, is it really a skill being lost, or is it a waste of time that was finally shitcanned?
True. My 19 year old didn't learn cursive. He got a birthday card from my 90 year old mother (who writes nothing but cursive), he could read as much of it as I could.
