Happy truckiversary, dualwheels66! Your truck may not be getting a party, but it sounds like you're going to spoil it a bit. Don't forget to check out these coupons the next time you plan on getting something special for your rig: Coupons and Rebates | Services | Official Ford Owner Site

Mine will hit 2 years this month. So far so good. Time to start getting some more miles with the new trailer now!

Thanks for the link Crystal but I don't let anyone maintain my truck but me. I have a brother and a brother-in-law who are Ford techs and I will have my brother do my State inspections and maybe brake work if I don't have the time but that's all, neither one is a Diesel tech and it seems I know more about my truck than they do and that's because of sites like this one and PSA. When I need ball joints or front end work I go to my local 4x4 shop who is very knowledgeable about Fords because that's what they own.

New photos

Finally got some photos of the new truck with our fifth wheeler hitched up.

We took a short trip south from home to Ocean Mesa RV park, in Goleta, CA, just north of Santa Barbara. Our 2nd time at this place.

The new truck performed flawlessly, well above my expectations. We are both very happy with our choice.

My prime reason is to haul my Truck Camper:







Truck/camper sits level
Good looking set-up! I don't tow anything heavy either. Here is my main reason for owning a dually. Plus I think they look cool!

Geez I wonder how come my photo is so small. I'll post it again later from the computer.

Edit. Looks fine on the computer. It's just a tiny little thing on my phone with the new app.

My wife has had 5 back operations. When I had my GMC she couldn't go much more then 2-3 hours without being in pain. Many times ending up in the trailer (good for both of us).

As long as she has something to do (read etc) she can last 400+ miles in the truck, of course with the occasional stop for the dogs & bathroom breaks.

Wouldn't trade those seats for a bench.
