Hello everybody, just drove home my new to me truck and trailer. I'm both a trailer and diesel engine virgin but am very excited to have both, moreso the truck though!
The truck was purchased brand new by my uncle, he is 82 now and hasn't towed the trailer for 4 or 5 years so he was happy to sell it to a family member and see the kids enjoy it.
2002 F350 4X4 7.3 XLT. Its in remarkably good shape for the age, some rust around the rear fenders but nothing serious, and it has only 210,000 kms or 135k miles on it so its just nicely broken in.
I will be doing plenty of mods and repairs, but will create appropriate threads when it is time.

New here and just bought a 2013 F250 SCab XLT gasser for a tow vehicle. It is bi-fuel with a 23gal CNG tank. The CNG works well and I get about the same mileage. The only issue is the factory nerf mounts are corroded and it has spread some surface corrosion to the body seam. Is that common on the SD's?
