Howdy

Howdy everyone.

New to the forum here. Curently don't have a ford truck but I am looking. Spent my life driving Super Duties from a variety of years and engine sizes for various jobs haluing and towing everything and anything.

I curently am a Ranch Manager here in Colorado and I am looking for a F-250 XLT or higher, supercrew, longbed, deisel.

I drive a Nissan Xterra now and have done a lot of modifications to it myself for off roading. Lifted, tires, sliders, exhaust, fully synthetic, intake, mostly your standard stuff to make it a better off roader.

Looking to learn a lot more than I already know about fords. I have been around tons and taken notes on projects i plan to do once I get the truck. Mods i plan to make are bumper and winch, exhaust and chip. Not planning on doing a lift, maybe some tires but we will see. I will mostly use the truck for driving around the ranch and hauling and towing heavy loads.

John

EDIT: Wife drives a 2010 Ford Escape. That is one great cross over!

Figured I better re-introduce myself since I haven't really used the site till now.

I ended up getting a 2013 F-150 FX4 with the V8, crew cab, short bed.

Love it so far, added bug shield and line-x. Then looking to add the tow mirrors, front bumper, and thats it for a few years will i look to add the exhaust. probably wont lift it though, dont really see a need with this truck.

thanks for reading again and HI again!
