Have a Good One!!
Well, I haven;t been posting on here lately, and part of it is because I bought a 2009 F250 6.4 PSD a month or so ago. I guess I'll mosey on over to those forums and say hello. I liked my F150, but I was in need of a twin-turbo...lol

Glad to hear it! I traded up from my F150 last year!
How do you like it so far? Mine turned 13,000 miles two weeks ago. I miss the handling and fuel economy of my F150, but this one sure does tow nicely. I'm sure you'll love it!

Well, I'm up to 67 miles on her...I have a Fusion that's my DD. I need it for hauling rock, brick, and wood for the summers...I do landscaping and HVAC work on the side...My F150 just couldn't haul a load of timbers without squatting down too far. I was seriously worried I was going to snap a rim off , or destroy the axle a couple of times. (No offense) I will say the rides a lot different...lol Thing kicked my @ss rolling empty yesterday over some tracks.

A 250 has been my dream truck for a long time, but that 53k+ price tag kept me in check...However, find a 10, and they are giving out a 7k rebate from Ford, and if the dealer wants it gone, they will give another 7k to match it. That's why I'm driving one. It was cheaper than a Lariat F150 at 39k. Powerfold mirrors, Sync, etc. Doesn't fit in my garage very well, so she'll be an outdoor pet. I'll get some pics today since I'm off.

Yeah, empty makes for a rough ride. Takes some time to get used to the handling as well. Those long radius arms up front holding the axle in place don't provide for very snappy handling. But hey, it's an 8,000 lb truck. Doesn't bother me much.
Good to see you have another daily driver. My other car is back in OH at the moment, making this my daily driver. A trip to the pump is almost enough to make you cry...

I can't afford one new. And I've only got my eyes set on one particular F-250. I want me a Harley Davidson version. So I'm thinking a 05/06 in decent shape is more my flavor.
doesn't make any sense at all. My 2000 4Runner was more expensive to insure than my 2006 F-150 was brand new.
