Picked up a F350 Crew cab Tuesday.

Well I'm glad I had to wait to trade my 03 Expedtion for an 08 F350. I Was trying last year for an 07 F350 but owed too much on the expedition..Things always happen for a reason..That 6.4 is AWESOME. I would have been very pissssssed off if I would have got the 07 and then seen what the 08 was like..Happened to me with my 03 Expedition. The 03 260 HP, 04 300HP. Man, I was pissed. Anyway, the Expedtion was just not doing it for me towing my Toy Hauler. My buddy passed me going over a pass with his 03 Tahoe. Nobody passes me on the road! That's why I also drive a supercharged 65 mustang. Anyway, Everyone told me I would go to a Diesel and they were right. Too many passes to go over here in Washington. Back to the truck. F350, Crew Cab, 4x4, XLT, Red. Not all the Bells and whistles but enough. I love that thing. Sitting next to my 68 F100 makes the F100 look PEE PEE...Sitting next to anything make them look PEE PEE. I can't wait to pull with it. Bad news is I have only had it for two days and it has to go to the dealer already. The hood release cable is broke. Guess I should have looked under the hood when the salesman asked if I wanted to see it. they have to cut the grill to open it and then replace the grill. Imagine that. It also seems to pull very slighly to the left. Hopefully it will be back on the road soon to break her in. Heading on a trip in a couple weeks pulling the trailer...

Sounds nice. You're going to dig it for towing.
