GREAT!!!!

Looking forward to seeing this new rig of yours!!!

My DW will be doing some of the driving with the trailer behind.. I want here to be comfortable in taking over in case I get too tired or something happens where I can't drive (who knows??)... Anyway - She's driven our Class-A DP with a 28' enclosed racecar trailer behind it..
She never got comfortable - mainly due to road construction and what we called "STRAWS" where the traffic is necked down with cones to have a road only 10' wide which does not give any real room for error...
Come to think of it - I guess I was never really comfortable with the STRAWS either....

Randy, she would and could if she had to. She towed our 8'6" beam 30' long boat/trailer before we sold it. Did a few 5 hour trips with it while I towed our RV. Your right, the necked down areas can get to anyone.

One hour out. Ohio is getting FLAT!

Rodney, ask the dealer to let you borrow a brush and wash it there. Tell them their pic is going to be seen by hundreds, maybe thousands on the fourm and you need for the rig to be spotless!

I love this picture. This does not look like a woman ready to give hubby back his truck. Really seems to be enjoying the F250/350/450 experience. This is the look you get just before owning two Super Duties... His and Hers....

Just kidding around...

my wife drives at least half the time.. even pulling the FW. few years ago we went to a car show in Tennessee and after the show I didn't feel right.. she drove almost the whole way, towing the 7,000lb trailer behind our 08 dually. Only took two starbucks coffees!
