Did you have to get up on the roof?

That is a lot to deal with, I can't imagine. Help must of been hard to come by....with everyone being in the same situation.
The Husky is a 27" I bought new last year for this very reason. I wanted a 24 but the 27 was all that was left that day. I got it home, that night we got the 2nd big dump. The 3rd came 2 days later. All 60 plus inches came in 8 days. Red came in super handy during that mess. This year, more of the same only worse. Oh well, spring should bring some good flowers, if it ever melts. LOL

As we text, my buddy is up on my roof finishing clearing it. I got up there and cleared around the chimney and air vents, but there was so much sitting. My knees were wet, yes that deep. .

But you can find your exact model with a little effort if you want to...I know it's out there. Good Luck!
Thanks. Exhausted after only an hr (or 2?) Doing screenshots. Also struggling to see if mine is one of the 14 XL's or is, but has XLT enhancements. I.e., I have elec door locks. XL I think had none. Gonna have to go graph paper spreadsheet I think w "check boxes." Would SO love to have a xerox of original brochures.

Hope you were able to clear the roof without having to throw some back it the drive again....move it twice. Sounds like you were running out of room.

Right..if it melts lol. Some of Canada's snow dumps don't melt off until July.

Sounds like the roof weathered it thus far..

Thanks for poking in AK. Let me know if you need anything from the yard. Probably going this or next weekend. Depends if it rains this Saturday.

If your looking for actual weight, hit the salvage yard. It'll be over 5000 lbs there,..true weight. They'll weigh it for yuh. Why do you need to know?

It's been unseasonably warm the past week or so. Got up to 61 today (that I saw). The reservoir a couple miles south of me claimed another life Monday night. A guy and his girlfriend got out on the ice, and she went through. He rescued her - then he fell in and succumbed to the ice and cold water. Only 20 years old. Last year the same thing happened to a 16 year old kid. (My point being, the ice is melting)

The "need" is mental. My braking is already several percent less with 265/70x17's versus stock 235/65-16's. Ford SUV's get vented discs. They might be nice on a good downgrade. I WANT to know and be able to argue my GVW if some cornpone cop sees an easy out-of-state ticket, so I need my exact loading... If Ford calcs w 1/2 tank of gas, and only the driver. It's not quite OCD, but my driving is as much calculated as intuitive. They team well together, and, when someone inherits this, I want THEM to know the technical limits, exactly. Like, my dad bored a shotgun or two to take the newer linger beryllium shells, but while a magnum shell can fit, they would overpower the chamber. I might exceed them a bit on rare occasions, but I want to know it. Knowledge is power, and also, defense. But like an adopted kid, at some point you may want to know the details of the birth, exactly. I save the original window stickers when I can.
