Tomorrow, 2026 F350 Dually. Not sure how I feel yet. Avalanche will be the color.




Of all of these trucks, my '05 (loved the look), '15 (I'd still have it today but wasn't for a drunk driver) and current '25 have been my favorites, The 450 was probably my least favorite, and I owned it the least amount of time. My Bronco Raptor was my most profitable (20K) followed by the F450. (13).

Never owned an XL, nor a KR, some of these been factory orders. Rarely do I go past 40,000 MI, lately it's 10. I used to delete within the first 500 mi. The 99 through 2020 trucks always had snow plows, and two fuel tanks in the bed. 2021, I moved from Chicagoland to KC area, quit plowing, quit doing deletes. I will drive back up for big snow events And run loaders, skid steers or whatever they need.

I was almost ready to order a S&B fuel tank, and a full delete kit for the 25. I gave it one last wash tonight, drop it off tomorrow.





Let's hear the history from everyone.

(I still have a 2004 E350 with 400K on a 5.4.)

I did retire a 2017 F550 with about 450,000 on it last year, current my F550 year old has about 55k on it now.

Not a long list but continuous ownership since 1990.

That's...longer than I thought it was.

 

Wow, if all vehicles I started in 1977. There's no way I could remember the dozens and dozens.
Let's just say that I've come a long way from the 15 year old kid that was given a 1969 Chevy C10 with 250 6 cylinder and 3 on the tree.

 

How in the hell have you had so many darn trucks? When did you start getting into Super Duties? Even if you got into em right as the first gen came out, you're averaging nearly one new truck a year. That's hardcore.

Wish I would have kept the Mustang. And now my wife is bugging me to trade her Explorer in for a new Bronco.

 

I ordered a new Mustang GT in May 2006. It came in August as a 2007 model year. Still have it 19 years later with only 45k miles.

If one runs it for business and runs a lot of miles, one can write off the depreciation and churn through trucks yearly or even more frequently.

Others have borderline ADHD and/or hording tendencies. I'm not admitting to any wrong doing of course, purely stating this as a general observation since I've no where near ten vehicles currently.

Hmmm, my list is that of a mere peasant and quite paltry comparatively speaking, but I'll run it off anyhow.

1965 Mustang coupe 302 4V four speed (I bought it when I was 14 and regret selling it)

1966 Mustang Fastback 302 C4 automatic (still own it, but it's in pieces right now)

2003 F250 Lariat 4x4 crew cab long bed 6.8L V10 automatic (third new vehicle I ordered)

1966 Shelby G.T. 350 289 four speed (inherited this one. Never selling it)

Sure hope your dealer and its service dept. treat you with the respect you deserve.
Saying that because I am astonished at the number of sad stories I hear from repeat buyers and loyal customers.
