Just wait until they're 16. You'll never drive your truck again. They seem to like your truck more than the minivan for gettin around.

Go for it big guy!! :thumbs:

 

Our little 7 month old loves motor sounds. When I take out the mower, atv, truck, vacuum cleaner, etc. he gets real excited!! I can't wait till he gets a little older.

 

Nothing more fun than exposing your kids to new things.

All of you guys and girls out there with the little ones wanting to drive now is the time to get into their little heads and let them know that mom and dad worked hard and paid good money to drive the car or truck that they own, and if they would like to own something like it they need to start saving their money RIGHT NOW. My parents never bought any of their kids any thing to drive and I have raised 3 kids myself and have not bought any of them anything, the wife and I did help with locating and making arrangements for the purchase of their cars and trucks but no and I mean NO money from mom and dad was paid. They also bought their own gas and insurance and only one of them worked year round in high school the others only worked during the summer and saved the money for everything they needed. Hope this helps some. :thumbs:

Mines 16 months old and still not talking so not much I'm gonna be able to teach him right now. My 14 soon to be 15yr old stepdaughter and I have made the agreement that I will match whatever she earns to go towards a car and so far she's saved about 10 cents and is as lazy as they come so I'm not too worried about it. :thumbs:

wait til they get their drivers license...thats when it all goes to hell, i'd invest in a tire boot otherwise your trucks going to end up being beat like a tough steak...i see so many 16 year old kids taking daddys truck out on friday nights to cruise and just beat and beat it to be cool, i once saw a kid go into a gas station and empty the shelf of heat and octane booster and dump it all in so daddy's truck can blow smoke....ah enjoy them while their young

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
