READERS'RIDES By Bruce W. Smith UTAH TRAILER TOTER General contractor Jon Tanner, owner of J.M. Tanner Company out of Kaysville, Utah, is a Ford man who just stepped into a 2011 F-350 Crew Cab Lariat 4x4. Tanner is big into towing trailers – skid-steer loaders and dump trailers at work, horse and toy haulers on the weekends. So it's no surprise his new truck is a long- wheel-base model equipped with 3.55 gears, electric rear locker and a B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck with a companion B&W receiver hitch. His trailers all have back-up cameras and he runs an Edge CTS programmer with monitor "to keep an eye on the 6.7s vitals."
