Got the new MKT home last night. What a trip. We averaged 16mpg on the way over and 7.5mpg on the way back. We took 3 Come-alongs and a 12v winch to load it with as Hooks says they have no assistance. Fortunately that's not entirely correct as we were able to talk the guy checking us through to push the MKT onto my trailer with his forklift (it was WAY too small to lift it). For some reason site isn't allowing me to do paragraphs so this is going to run on a bit. Once home we just hooked the deuce up and pulled it off. So far only a couple of things wrong with it - 1) missing one of the deck braces 2) Missing a piece off of one of the vents (the part you put the crank end into) so not able to open that vent yet 3) rails that hold the sliding vents on one of the ovens missing, but I have an extra oven so I can just swap that out 4) some of the super rope is damaged but I think I have enough from replacing the cover on my 1st trailer to fix it 5) and of course missing all of the MBUs. They have some interesting custom deck latches too. Quite a stack of the Cambro mermites and 7 drink dispensers. The flat on the left side seems to be holding air but I'll wait a couple days to see if it's a slow leak or actually ok. And before the safety police jump on here, we did have sufficient tie-downs all around it's just I had taken the ones on the front of the MKT off before remembering to take pics. Really don't like this new way of posting. Didn't post pictures in order I wanted and no simple way to alter them. Not sure if it's the site or the new version of IE that Windows downloaded without my permission.
