Thought it would be interesting to show your uses for your Super Duty and answer the question - Why did you select your rig? Looks, Towing or Just because you wanted one?

Personally - I like the look, ride, power and room in the cab. I tow a boat (around 7k lbs), 18' tandem lowboy (max 7k lbs), stock trailer (around 5 to 6k loaded) and occasionally will be towing a 5th wheel RV (around 11 to 12k). I selected the 4x4 for the slippery boat ramps, towing through muddy pasture and steep loose rock climbs i travel during deer hunts.

 

All of the above! Man, you should have created a poll for this thread.

 

It gets me laid!

 

Well I owned all of the brands ( 1 dodge, 2 chevys) , mostly Fords (3 F150). The Fords have all been good to me. All have been F150's. My type of towing and usage, all I really need is a F150. BUT I just wanted a bigger roomier over the top solid axle 4X4 with a gas motor, just because !

 

I was looking at fifth wheels and all the articles I read said to go with at least a 3/4 ton and a diesel if you tow in the mountains. I test drove a GMC but liked the Ford better, plus I have always had good luck with Ford.

 

bought mine mostly for towing our bobcat, offroading, and mostly just because i could!!

 

Because my wife's girlfriend thought I was worth it...

 

I own a Ford because they rock. A F-350 because I want to trade my travel trailer in on a 5th wheel some day. A crew cab because I've got kids and this is our only vehicle. A 8' bed because I have kids and hope to own a 5th wheel some day. A 4x4 because this is our only vehicle. A v10 because I wanted a proven, reliable power plant that didn't have a huge up-front cost.

 

1. I own horses and they like to go on trail rides.

2. My Dodge kept breaking down so I got a Ford!

 

I had been driving a Nissan hard body pickup for several years, which is a tough little truck. I thought it was time though to upgrade to a "real" truck and skipped straight from the Nissan to my F-350. It might be a little overkill right now, but I plan to buy a travel trailer soon, and we needed the room since my wife was pregnant at the time and we also have two large dogs. I talked to several friends who owned many different brands and they all recommended getting a SD, specifically a V10 since I wouldn't be towing all the time and it would get me the best balance of reliability, power, and cost. Although it gets half the mpg of the Nissan, I'm glad I bought it, especially on trips out of town since I know my wife and daughter are safe if anything happens on the freeway. I still have the Nissan as a daily driver (well not right now since the carrier bearing went out on me after driving the Ford to work for 3 days in a row, I think it was jealous ), but I love driving the Ford when I have an excuse and don’t think about how much it costs a mile to drive it.

 

Lets see... I own a Ford because I was raised ford, and that probably made me biased, but I also believe they're the best American truck, which is the only way to go. 4x4 because it's required here and I hunt with it. Diesel... Right now mostly just because it's cool, but I'm currently looking for a toyhauler that will get pulled about 15 hours a month up some good grades, so I actually will need it soon. It's a longbed because I use it a lot between lumber, firewood, hay, dirt, or quads, it is definitely a requirement around here. I would have preferred a crew cab, but the price was right on the extended cab.

 

'cause I couldn't quite afford the Lear jet...but at least I can tow one now..

 

Needed something to hual more than my F150, after got my first F250! Man the room the power! gotta love the looks! Now on my second ! \

Plus I love to drive a BIG truck

 

My 5.4 F150 couldn't deal with our travel trailer well enough so I upgraded.

 

I tow a 28' enclosed car hauler occasionally. I traded my F250 in for a F350 and it was easier to find a V10 in the 350. The extra $$$ for a diesel doesn't make economic sense for me. Ford had the only gas engine capable of the torque and HP I was looking for. But....most importantly...it's red and chicks dig it!!!
