Well I thought I would do a walk around of my relatively new Chevy R30 Crewcab Dually Ramptruck car hauler. I really do love this thing and how it drives. It might not be useable for everything but it can come in handy. And it can be used for more than just hauling cars. And it's just damn cool. Anyway here is the viodeo. Let me know what you think.

Cool, You may have become my new best friend. Can I borrow it?

Well there in lies the problem with this truck. Seems the R30 designation is that of a very heavy truck. And because of that almost no insurance company will insure it. I had to go through Progressive and get a Commercial policy for personal use. Surprisingly not that bad, or not as bad as I expected. But it also means I am the only person allowed to drive it. If it had been say a converted 3/4 or 1 ton then they probably wouldn't have known the difference unless I told them what it was. But that being said I feel safer with the better insurance. because that anyone that might get inot an accident with me might think if I could afford something like that I must have money. Not having any idea what something like that cost, let alone the deal I got for this one. Now I am not opposed to favors. But this thing likes gas. As I said in the video it got 7.5 MPG but that was before the tune up and still needs exhaust work. But still not great. But I think it is exceptional for a truck hauling a 4000lbs car.

I'm afraid you may have to drive it down here for me to borrow it.
