Hey everyone, My name is Ericka. I just bought my first truck a month ago. I have 03 F250 Super Duty. People tell me that my truck is too big for me because I'm a girl but I don't care. I love driving my truck and love the sound of diesel. My friend told me about this site so I'm just here checking it out.

Welcome Ericka. Don't let your friends intimidate you!! Your PSD will be your best friend for a long time. Enjoy it. You'll get plenty of help here if you need any. I was just in your neck of the woods BTW. I was in San Diego and Fallbrook last week. Flew home yesterday. CA is beautiful but crowded!!

Welcome to FTE, Erika!! There is a ton of helpful and friendly folks here, just like your friend probably already knows.

Whenever you get ready to post your first question/issue, it would be good to put your engine size and any already-installed mods in your signature so folks can answer without having to ask for those details.

Congrats on the new truck and you are now one of the family. You will find 99% of your answers right here. This site could put some repair shops out of business. Nice to see the LADY's buying big ole diesels.

Welcome to the site Angel, don't worry what your friends say. I have a F-150 and my wife drives it more than I do. Enjoy your new truck. Tel your friends to " Shut up, Get In, And Hold on" LOL. If you have ant questions just ask, great people here and are glad to help if possible.

Welcome to the diesel community.... by the way my wife who is 5'2" drives the 04 listed and she gets some real looks when she climbs out of the red truck. And she has a t-shirt that says"silly boys - trucks are for girls"

Nice looking selection, Ericka. Welcome to the forum.


Round these parts it is common to see women driving big trucks, often times with big ol' goose neck horse trailers in tow. Life's too short to worry about what people will think about what you drive and I'm glad that you aren't fallin' for that.

Enjoy the ride.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I feel right at home.

I feel better that I have my own truck. I always wanted to drive my fiance's 07 F350 Dully but he told me I can't drive his truck. Its his baby

Well now I finally have my baby.
