Astro to the Rescue!

Postby Astroecho [OP] » April 12th 2020, 9:58pm

Towing over 5000lbs of water (7000+) with trailer and the trailer sank into the snow / soft dirt. The Tacoma was just spinning and so the Astro came to the rescue to tow them out. Never ceases to amaze me!

Actually RWD. One of the rear wheels span but I chipped away the snow/ice and it was good then. Did have some heavy weights in the back to help with traction.

Ha ha ha I carried both sets up to the 12th floor in my old apartment building! They are heavy.

The van is empty of seats now and is used to take dogs out/move furniture. A great size van.

Wait: you carried TWO Astro bench seats up 12 flights of stairs???? :shock:

I thought it was bad when I carried ONE folded from the back of my pick-n-pull to the register...on flat ground.
