Yeah, she is, 7.3PSD, 6 speed. Don't get me wrong, I like her real well, I'm just REAL partial to the older style's look, AND I wanted the crew cab. But, we just weren’t able to find a manual, and I refuse to get another automatic EVER again...

We don't tow too much but we do haul heavy loads. The last time we went to get hey, we put 38 ~ 120-pound bales on her. Just over two ton...

she hauls her horses out to an arena quite frequently, and once we get another truck, her old one, will be towing my (eventually)non street legal toyota to go wheel

There you go! The old ones never die, they just get new jobs! She'll love it once she gets used to it. You have so much more control, especially on slick roads.

Most bales are only 50-70 pounds, but then you have to move so many more of them! No chick bales for me!

I doubt they are 70 lbs. but if so, try ramming two into the back of a Honda and trying to pull the first one out. I swear it adds about 100lbs.
