Looking at buying a new HPX. Two questions, if you could help:
1. The electric/hydraulic bed lift. Is this really necessary, or a nice to have? If the bed is loaded, say with a load of dirt that is close to capacity (1000 lbs), can you reasonably lift it by hand or does it need the electric/hydraulic unit to lift? If you can reasonably do it by hand, then that saves me a thousand bucks almost.
2. Does the diesel engine start pretty well in winter? Really cold temps - like zero? Is there a block heater available for it?
Thanks.
