Post Hello to the site

Hello Ford Trucks members,

About me: I'm currently an owner of a 2000 Crown Victoria P71 which I like and have been a fan of P71s for a long time.

However I'm interested in (for so many reasons) a Ford F250 6.0 Diesel. Right now this is mostly a dream, and I'm gathering information from many resources and found this site.

I first researched Dodge Ram 2500 and Ford F250, staying clear of GM. I came to the point where now I want the Ford.

At first my idea for diesel was that I might get great mileage, then realized the power increase is another reason. Then I found that the mileage isn't all that great, and that my chances of a 38 Gallon tank are nill with the crew cab. From what I've read I still want diesel.

I'm now considering buisnesses I could start, one obviously being landscaping. If anyone has more ideas I'm open.

So while I may never get my truck, I'll at least have my information if the chance arises.

So hello to all, while I may mostly lurk maybe I can post now and then with questions and/or comments.

P.S. I tried to just make the name Michael but it's taken

Hello Michael and Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts!

You've done your homework for your truck and now you just need to find the right combination for your business. There are several forums here that will interest you and a good one to post a question about starting a business is this one: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum19/

I would also recommend stopping by the WI chapter (chapter forums are towards the bottom of forums) and do a little exploring there.

Good luck and enjoy the site!

Thanks for the welcome Dan

Yeah I've done the research, but might never have the money. However I know there are loans and such to start a buisness so that's another reason I talked about that. It may enable me to get my truck.

Thanks I'll check out that forum, so far though it doesn't seem specific to buisnesses.

I'll also look for the WI forums thanks

The two forums do not deal with businesses per say but they do give you a chance to ask question from those that have started a business or to talk to those who do have a landscaping or similar business.

It's just a thought.
