Pulled the trigger - new truck

Again thank you all for the wealth of knowledge provided in this forum. I placed an order for a Ford F450 diesel dually last night. I haven't ordered a new vehicle in 20 years and felt like a kid in a candy store. I will post pics when it is delivered. In this case I definitely bought my last truck first as so many advise doing with trailer purchases. Safe travels everyone.

    Enjoy the new truck! It should be able to tow anything, just like the salesman says! Not like the 3/4 ton trucks that the salesman 'claim' can tow just about anything! And it should keep you going at least 45 MPH up a 6% grade while towing a 18,000 pound trailer!

    Have fun camping!

    Congrats. That should be enough truck for about anything.
