Not cool.... A buddy of mine just rolled his 1 yr old lifted F250 with a toy box trailer attached down in Mexico. He was doin' bout 70 around a turn when the trailer hit a huge pothole. The trailer went outta control, and soon to follow, was his truck...Him, his wife and 3 kids were not injured luckely, but the trailer was a complete loss. The truck (I would say) is a complete loss as well. If I get some photos, I will post them.

Diesel is abundant in Mexico. On the Baja, Once you get 200 miles south of the border it is wise to fill up when you can. Everything gets trucked down from the North. If the station is closed (no gas) then they are waiting on the truck. It can be a real problem in South Baja. One road down and one road back. Spent the better part of a day getting around a flipped propane truck that blocked highway 1. Had to lock the hubs and use the old road (all dirt) to get around.

its all good for the IDI, but I don't think you should take a powerstroke farther south than you can afford to tow it back. Who could possibly know much about them or get parts down in the stix of Baja or Sonora. I'll stay with the power, but maybe I could score a N/A 6.9 f250 for 3rd world road trips.

HUGE bummer about your buddy's truck and trailer.
Seems amazing that everyone was OK.
Durring last years fires, I saw the aftermath of a wreck where a car went airborne into oncoming traffic and took out the entire side of some guys 5th wheel from just above the hitch all the way to the back. If they'd have been a fraction of a second slower, they'd have been goners. As it was they just looked really shook up. I never heard what happened to those in the car, but I would imagine that the side of that trailer was a lot softer than the front of a semi would've been. I think they all survived, at least I never saw anything in the papers to the contrary.

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Yeah, Im sure oil from deep frying meats and stuff must be in abundance down there!!!Hey Pit.... If you are affraid of running out of diesel, learn to brew bio diesel. I am sure you can find some frier oil down there to use.....
