It Just Feels Good

Those of you who are hikers or backpackers will understand this. When I put on my comfortable, broken-in boots they just feel good .... I can walk all day. When I get into my truck, it just feels good. I like the way it rides and handles on the road. I can drive it all day and not be fatigued. It has the features and the cajones to handle my trailer in the mountains without a problem. And crawling around on double track sure is a lot of fun. I like my truck!

speak for yourself !!!
I love a few things - but just like those inanimate things

just need to drive mine more I guess only 15k miles in 15 months (and that's with 2 or 6 LONG rv tows in there...) working from home makes for an idle truck !

I've got to agree. Looking forward to getting back into a SuperDuty. Just need to sell my Wrangler to help offset the cost. Which brings me to the OPs description of his truck. A Ford SLT, is that a SuperDuty with a Cummins..? LOL...!

Being a newbe around here I couldn't resist. But really, you guy's have a lot of insight about these trucks and I appreciate it.

Hey! So a seasoned geezer has a Freudian slip .... I owned a '02 Cummins for 10 years. Thanks ... I changed my sig line.
