It seems that Rob Astorino drives a Chevy 1500 while Andy Giulani drives a Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins turbo-diesel. It looks like Mr. Giulani’s pickup has a lift-kit and Fuel Off-Road wheels with 35s, but I could not determine the lift-kit from those pictures.

Mr. Giulani probably has commercial plates while Rob Astorino has passenger plates due to weight of the vehicle, although he could also have commercial plates. The big advantage to passenger plates is they can be driven on the parkway. Plus, gasoline is a lot cheaper currently in New York State then diesel.

Door Dilemma

Door Dilemma

In 12 of the 13 experimental tests, the doors did not “meet the acceptance criteria” to pass the rigorous fire test, regardless of gap size; only a double set of steel doors with a three-quarters-of-an-inch gap were able to meet the criteria to pass both tests required in NFPA 252, Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies. The tests generally showed that larger gaps increase airflow, which seemed to make it more difficult for doors to meet the acceptance criteria to pass, the report’s authors noted.

Diesel Price: 100% Surge in Costs and Scarcity Deny Farmers Their ‘Lifeblood’ – Bloomberg

Farmers from Iowa to Ukraine are grappling with surging diesel prices and an unsteady supply, forcing them to spend unprecedented sums on fuel in a chaotic market and raising concerns about the autumn harvest.

In the US, where corn and soybean producers are rushing to sow after rains and cold temperatures forced delays, filling a tractor tank daily now costs some farmers $1,000, twice what it was a year ago. And the most intensive part of the farming season is still ahead.
