Congrats! On a side note, what do people do for a living to afford $70,000 trucks? I looked at a new 6.7 diesel yesterday and was floored at how much they costed. What's that... Like $1,300 mo payments?

70K trucks usually don't pull 70K, mine listed at $71,255 but I didn't pay even close to that and with a long loan the payments are sub 700. But if you keep it a long time it pays off and after 8 years my last one was still worth $30K with the diesel. All depends on what is important to you to spend your money on!!! We love our Super Duty for traveling, gas mileage is not as good as the SHO but there is more room to stretch out and be comfy.....would be nice if it had the massage seat like the SHO tho.

Fire240...... Beautiful truck!!!!
Our 2009 was a CCLB but the way the roads are made here in Phoenix/Mesa area, the expansion joints are at a distance that make the CCLB with 172" wheelbase "bounce" in the back suspension. So, if you hit a section of road anywhere and the back starts bouncing like the tires are bubbled, it may be the road!!! We went back to a CCSB!!
