Talking It's Home!!

Well I finally brought my new truck home on the weekend! Black on Black Lariat, captains chairs, nav, moonroof, 11,500 GVWR, trifold hard tonneau cover, etc, etc. This truck ROCKS!! I know, I know... pictures will be posted shortly.

Only one complaint so far and it is minor at best but still... that EFFING DIPSTICK IS A PITA!!! I saw on another thread that someone recieved an "experimental" cable dipstick a while ago. Does anyone know if they are readily available through FORD or even the aftermarket?

You know unhooked pics of trailers are not allowed... For all we know, it's your neighbor's.

Seriously, the truck and trailer will look awesome going down the road. Great color matching.

Fair Enough... That pic was taken before I had the new truck so this weekend when I take it out with the new truck, I will be sure to take some official pics (of me with my neighbor's trailer ).

Looks like a good time. I think toy haulers are wonderfully useful. I have used mine in all types of configurations beyond just hauling ATV's and motorcycles. I've seen guys put model airplanes, rockets and personal watercraft in them. I wish to heck I had my camera last summer when I watched a monster triple axle toy hauler back down the boat ramp at Lake Powell, Utah and offload 6 jet skis.
