Hey Gerry
you dont have air bags for towing that house ?
It didnt seem to squat muck with the load.

 

Thx Adam, much appreciated....

Monsoon my F350 has the stock suspension & it hardly squats at all, no air bags or anything added to it....

 

Ok Heres a picture of my truck working. I wasnt smart enough to take apicture with the 5 er still on the truck but here it is:

 

Truck and trailer look great Sarge, are you working for the fire dept, I see a red truck there

 

Yes I am the Chief,

I will get a picture of it for you. Its not a SD its a 150. should be getting my new one sometime soon, its a 2012 F-150 with a EcoBoost.

Sarge

 

Right on Sarge, hows the Ecoboost doing or do you bother to check

 

Gig, he said "getting it soon"

 

Gerr,

I havent gotten it yet. The truck comes in this month sometime, and by the time that I get the lights radios and lettering done it will be a few months before I actually ut it in service and drive it every day.

Sarge

 

I think he meant how the ecoboost is doing for everyone else, if its holding up or living upto what ford marketed forever

 

Thats right Miles, I haven't heard much about them in a truck, I'm sure they are OK in a car

 

My uncle has one in a 2011 Lariat Ultimate. I drove it, its got great power, and its smooth. The truck is a glorified car, the mileage isnt that impressive but hes only got 2700 miles on it, hes averaging 13 mpg all city driving and he mixes E85 and regular gas.

I am excited to try it, when I am done being chief I may lease one just to have a new truck, or maybe I will buy a new SD, I have about 3 years to figure it out.

The 08 I have now has the 5.4 in it and its not terrible on gas but I dont drive far during the week, I probly only put 75-100 miles a week on my Chiefs Truck.

Sarge

 

Sarge, I'm surprised you dont put many miles on the company truck.........

Retired in 3 yrs sounds good huh

 

Retired from that job, I own and operate my own repair shop so I have a ways to go, the chief thing is just volunteer, but its a full time job in itself, sorry I didnt make that clear.

Sarge

 

Ok I got it Sarge, is that Laredo a new trailer

 

Great looking 5er there Sarge. Congrats. Be sure to report back on how the truck tows that bad boy.
