    Only suggestion i have for your next trucks is to do a recessed winch track this way you can if needed have the winch cable run to rear of truck with cable hold points for emergency recoveries or cars that are broken that need to be loaded on trailer. Gas truck engines may wear faster due to the weight but given you dont run these trucks very long or very hard should be fine.

    For a “pro” build, the engine bay looks kinda messy. It I’m probably just dumb

    Put a trailer with two more vehicles and forget about it you're not going anywhere near the mountains or even small hills

    Without even watching this video… I can answer this.
    No. If you intend on keeping the truck more than 60,000 miles.

    You definitely do not need a diesel to pull one car. I think you made a good decision. You’ll use more fuel but you saved thousands buying the gas truck and like you said diesel is always higher price

    lol, bullshit it's too weak to pull it comfortably. Maybe the gas mileage would be better, sure, and maybe it'd last longer in 200k miles, but shorter term? In terms of getting there? Way cheaper. Everything about gas is cheaper except mpg and max towing.

    Surprise to see a wired controller these days.
    They make a wireless adapter though it doesn't look like you're having much trouble with that really long cord.

    Second time, so I gotta say something now. :) With your last name, you gotta at least attempt to say Cinque Terre correctly, especially if you're going there. UA-cam can tell you how or any smartphone too.
