You have more leaves than that? You can't see the bottom leaf in the pic, but there's 4 total I believe. I thought all the 350's were the same when it came to the number of leafs.

They are the Michelins, they do perform good in the snow, almost too good for my tastes (no fun).

In Florida they go by the weight of the vehicle,my new truck weighs more than the old one, plus the state raised their prices.

$920 a year is crazy, plus you guys pay a state income tax as well.

That 920 will drop by a couple hundred per year, but it is crazy.
And yes, I paid 6.25% in sales tax when I bought the truck, nuckin futs.

f-350 all the way! well, that's what i've got. although mine came with suspension modded by pro comp with dual massive shocks. as far as insurance cost, the most accurate way for you to check is probably giving your agent the vin numbers form the trucks you're interested. that's what i've always done. just an idea...good luck with whichever truck you decide to buy. hey, as long as it's a ford you'll be fine!!!
