I love my truck do you?

After a good day on the lake and a good bit of towing our boat thru the mountains I really got to thinking how much I love the way my truck pulls compared to the other trucks I have pulled that boat with. Click it out of OD and put it in 80E and let her rip 6-7% grades never slowed it down I had to pass a guy going up a 6% grade who was also pulling a boat going about 45, pulled out and punched it rolled alittle coal and the next thing I know I am almost at 70 MPH then decelled it all the way down the hill. Great day out on the lake with the little one and the family. Just don't see many threads like this so why don't you say how much you love your truck and why.

I love my truck because it's my little oasis where nobody else has any say as to what goes on. (except cops and DMV) Nobody tells me what I can or can't install or have on the radio or what temperature to keep it at. It works hard and plays just as hard. (or will in my case)

And it will go just about anywhere I need it to and pull anything I need to at least within reason.

And the community here at FTE doesn't hurt either.

Most of the time I love mine. My brake issues make me wonder if I should of went with the other brand sometimes though.

I'll go with NO. Don't really care about your truck one way or the other.

I am kind of partial to mine though

Sorry Justin, just couldn't pass that one up.

It's like that Caddy commercial. When you turn your truck on, does it return the favor?
I just love it when people gawk at me and ask, "what do you pull with that beast?" and my wife answers "anything we want to!!"

Gotta kick out of Kris's post above. The only 2 things under warranty that went bad was turbo o-rings and a freeze plug came out, other than that, nothing, totally dependable and I wouldn't part with my truck period, its part of the family. Speaking of dependable, We take my truck anywhere with complete confidence, simply love it...

I absolutely love my truck, love driving it as much to this day as i did when i first bought it. Every little mod keeps it fresh and allows me to enjoy it even more. Looking to buy a boat when i return from Afghanistan so i can haul it to the lake and enjoy the nice summer days

I love my truck. She's never let me down. From hanging on to a washed out snow covered logging road in Washington; to clawing her way up the steep, rocky Sierra Mountains in California. From churnning her way through deep flat land, farm country mud; to playing in shale and sand in the high desert of Nevada. She's always brought me, and my loved ones safely back. I LOVE my truck!

My Friend

I love my truck because it is like a true friend. It doesn't bawk when I ask it to do something. It doesn't try to let me down. If it does, I forgive it and help it to be right again. Like a true friend, it will treat you like treat it. "What comes around, goes around."
Heres to you my friend.

I love my truck because it is the ultimate expression of me. I can mod it the way I want to and nobody can tell me other wise. I can hot rod if I want or take it easy and it doesn't say anything back to you. It's is just all around fun.

I love my truck and in no small part to the people here on this forum. It was a nice truck when I got it. Now it's a MUCH nicer truck and the friends that I get to interact with as a result of having the truck are all direct enhancements of that relationship.
