My first pick-up

I've had 2 Expeditions, and just traded the last one in on a 2005 F350 6l. diesel yesterday. I will be pulling a 10,000lb. fifth wheel with it. I also just changed my FTE shortcut from Expys to Super Duties. The forum has always proved to be a really useful info source so thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Them dodges are butt ugly but are the second best truck behind the SD. The new dodge with a six speed auto and chevy with its finally, modernized silverado will be bittin the heels of Ford in the next couple of years. However, neither of the other have a towcommand system, or fail safe cooling in the gassers, or as wide a range of options and models as Ford. SD rules and likey will as long as Ford dosen't belly up.

yes, thank you, they are awesome trucks, but have with an awesumely high price too! But I don't buy a truck for myself everyday and this will likely last me the rest of my life.
