I'm hooked.....added a 2nd SD.

The KR has been an AWESOME truck, but the Mrs doesn't like me using it as a work truck, so I found this one.

This 05 F250 should make a GREAT work truck.

OK.....I know the KR still looks like a work truck, but it's getting a bath this afternoon.

You have a similar licence plate to my two plates. "TJ" are also the first two letters on my two plates.

I have a lawn care business as well. I'll post a pic of my truck and trailer when I get the signs made.

If I get personal plates for the 05, they will either be TOTLCARE or WELDRITE.

I also have a welding business.

I'll have to find out the gears, but it's a 5.4 auto.

I'll also add the particulars to my sig when I get a few mins.

I almost purchased a 5.4 250 but was told the engine is too weak for a 3/4 that pushes snow & tows.

My plates are "TJ SNOW" & "TJ LAWN".

It just depends on what you are comparing it to. It won't pull like a v10 or modern psd, but it will outpull anything that came in the obs trucks. It was the base level engine for the sd, so it was the "worst" out of the group but that doesn't make it the worst towing engine ever like some people claim. Mine pulled circles around my obs 7.5, 7.3 and 5.0.
