Other: Norm says, "I use my truck to plow snow in the winter using a Hiniker all-steel plow. In the summer, I pull a 30-foot cargo trailer that holds four mowers, one aerator, a dethatcher, gas tanks, and all the other equipment. It's my garage on wheels. My favorite diesel experience is just driving it every day. My favorite modification is the wheels and tires."
