Asshole Public Works, an inch of snow and out wasting tax $$ dumping rock salt everywhere.

This is the type of shit I don't want to pay for, plus the very roads they are treating are in dire need of re-surfacing.

I retired from that state a decade ago, never again. It's amazing to view satellite photos of areas I once lived in, swamps in 2000 are now full of people in 2016.

My choices are Colorado, Wyoming, or Montana where property taxes run about $150 annually per acre.

Would have loved to see some salt trucks yesterday. Coming home from watching the Grandkids the highway was covered in ice. There were idiots driving too damn fast and sliding in to the ditch. About halfway home I went to country roads that had less ice and idiots.

I have friend who runs a fishing lodge 50 miles north of Helena and 50 miles south of Great Falls MT. Even I would not live this remotely, and his internet works as well as my Xfinity.

If the weight difference is substantial, I couldnt justify going to it. I tow some pretty heavy stuff that pushes lighter vehicles around on the highway.
I used to have a grand cherokee limited that I loved, over 20 mpg with a strong v8 that hauled the boat around town without issue, but it was horrible on the freeway... would get pushed all over at 70+.
For less heavy duty applications aluminum might be great though.

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be doing 70+ when towing anyway.

Salty mods cause more problems than salty roads.
