Hey,
I picked up the E-4 yesterday and its now home in the driveway. It is awesome towing, I got 12.6mpg on the way back yesterday. Its big, but will suite us very well. I am heading to Harbor Frieght to get a drill powered winch to help get the Harley up onto the deck. April 19-20 is the first planned trip, we have A LOT of outfitting to do first.

JCH, Congratulations and I know you will enjoy the E4. Something was wrong and I could not see the pictures.
I too would like to see the drill powered winch. I thought you would have gotten this 2000 pound 12 volt winch or the 3000 pound radio controlled version

Nice looking rig we might be the market for something similar someday. What is the capacity of the deck? I would like to carry some quads with me someday after getting a different primary tv. My trailblazer couldn't take the weight. My f-250 is regular cab not comfortable for family.
TC happy camping

The winch is at this link:
Drill Powered Winch
Instead of using that blue hand crank, we are going to just put our Craftsman 19.2 drill in low speed to that locknut and crank it that way.
The CCC is 3005lbs and the front deck is rated to carry 1600lbs. That will carry two decked out Harleys.

JCH, Thanks for the Drill Powered Winch link. I have a bad feeling I'm going to get one of those... not knowing when I would ever use it but I'll keep it right beside my drill powered water pump

JCH, I hate to share this but you are sounding just like my wife. Did she put you up to this?
Still waiting to see a real one and of course I'll have to make believe it is in yellow
