Don't you mean use a 'winch'? A wench is something else altogether. |

You can talk about the kind that you like to use and I will talk about the kind that I prefer; and we can both be happy.

Electric winches are just fine. If it stalls and you persist in trying to overcome the obstruction you just pop a circuit breaker. Let things cool down and reset the breaker. If you cook your electric system it's because there was no fuse or breaker in line.

I've driven everything from a Chevy Metro to a 2 wheel drive Ford Ranger to a GMC Suburban for a short time for work.
Every vehicle drives different and has its own problems. The Ranger was rear wheel drive obviously and that as a rough ride sometimes...weight it down in the back with sand bags and its not too bad. The Metro was by far one of the best vehicles I've driven. I find that a lot of times on bad roads the smaller vehicles seem to do pretty damn good. The Suburban was one of the best...but for obvious reasons.

I would agreee that the Ford-150 is at the top ten if not the most popular. But I know that more than once I almost got into the wrong Jeep Cherokee because there are so many in the parking lot...forest green being the most popular color.

ditto for dark colored (black or so dark as to be almost black) Subaru Foresters... which is what we have for daily use. I call the Subaru -- especially the Forester -- the state car of Maine. There have been times, sitting at a stop light in the Bangor area, that we could see nothing else.
I have an old Toyota pickup farm truck but Artie doesn't look like anything else on the road! |
