I can't post pictures. I guess it's a restriction for new users?

Anyways, the F-250 is kind of my back up vehicle for my business. I own a stump grinding business and primarily use my 2000 Dodge Durango SLT with the 5.9L V8. I've spent a lot of money on that Durango making it capable of towing my 7,000 lbs trailer/stump grinder. It has new tranny with shift kit, 4.56:1 rear gears, added leaf spring in rear, new tires, Bilstien HD shocks, and Hawk SuperDuty brake pads.

If you use an off-site photo hosting service such as photobucket you can.

Here's some more info regarding when you can use all of the features provided by the site:https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...me-to-fte.html

Our other car is a 1994 Infiniti J30t with 204k miles on it. It still runs great and looks great. We are just tired of it because it's not a very roomy car on the inside and with a 1 month old girl in the back seat in a rear-facing car seat, there is zero room.

We had planned on selling the J and just having the Durango to use for towing the grinder unless my wife needs to use a vehicle, which she doesn't very often, and then I'd just use the F-250.

Well, her dad just offered to trade us straight up, our J30 for a 2000 Excursion XLT 4x4 V10 with about 130k miles on it. It's just an offer we can't pass up.

So now we are probably planning on selling the F250 and using the Excursion as the back up vehicle.

Nope, that's what I use is photobucket and the site wouldn't let me post with the [img] in my posts.
