Please refrain from use of the C word.

A simple "I am considering an alternative" will suffice.

Looks like it has a nice straight body on it. You came to the right place for info on that truck.There are some very sharp people on these forums that are pretty hard to stump.

What part of town are you in?

We just had another guy join the chapter a couple of weeks ago from Murrieta, and there are quite a few members in and around Riverside.

Hey!

Just wanted to say thanks for the welcome!!!

I am in Ontario. I have a '99 F-150 5.4 that I have had for nearly 3 years, and in November, I picked up an '01 Excursion XLT with the 7.3 PSD. I stumbled upon the FTE site, looked around and joined up a month ago. Mainly looking for tips on the Ex and diesel; but there is a wealth of info to be gleaned from this place!! So, I killed 2 birds this morning; Joined Club FTE, and the SoCal chapter.

I have an 18' TT that I pulled with my '97 F-150 4.6, then with my '99. Soon, I'll pull it with the Ex (probably won't feel it!). I spend a week every year at Carpinteria State Beach with my wife's family. We've been going to Carp now for 16 years. But it won't be too long until I pick up a longer TT. The 18' is just getting too small, but it has served me well!!

I look forward to hearing from you all, and to the G2G to come!!

Don
