Yeah but I don't own a Jeep. Title is not in my name. Pile of British crap is stored for a guy that works here. Other Jeep must have been a Liberty? Yeah, that's my nieces. Which I think has been repossessed. What kind of an idiot buys a car at Rose City Motors making minimum wage and has a payment of $300 a month plus $1600 every 6 for insurance?

That takes all the fun out of a diesel though. I would have to have a v-10, could not do a 5.4 in a superduty. Might as well keep the F150 at that point

Only for tow rating purposes. 5.4 is rated to tow 8000#, v10 or diesel is 10K and 15K fifth wheel. I know the next trailer I buy will be a goosenect to fit the Jeep and RZR, or 2 Jeeps on. That's the main reason for wanting another truck.

I have had a superduty with all 3 engines and definitely prefer the diesel, even with the 6.0L issues I would buy an 06 or 07. Can't and won't do any power adders for it this time, just a truck to tow the toys with

I hear ya, gas motors just feel sooooo slow after driving a diesel truck. I debated that for a long time truck shopping last year until I started doing test drives And the bigger the trailer you buy, the more people that call you to move stuff.

Well I know I'm gonna need room for my Jeep which is basically 15', then a RZR which is about 8-9' (2 seater). So If I get a trailer with a 29' deck I can fit both of those comfortablely, and if for some reason I need to haul mine and another TJ that would fit too on a 30' deck. Still only have a total weight of 7500#'s for the 2 jeeps so I should be well in Tow ratings for an F250 and a gooseneck.

Not that I have put much thought into it or anything........
