I see that truck is lifted(legal?) sounds like you have some handling issues with the truck... IMO if it's raining all day, you should not have lost control, as most traction hazards occur just after the road gets damp, raining all day that road should have given you ample traction.:icon_surprised:

I learned from that too!

I didn't know the edge had a fiberglass bed. I thought all the beds were steel.
