Ford F-150 as a toad?
Anybody using one of the new F-150's as a toad? I currently have a 2006 Dodge Dakota as a toad. It's been a good truck but I'm looking at replacing it. It is a fairly heavy toad but my 35 foot DP ...

If Ford still made a standard shift I'd be all over a 2WD standard cab, 6.5' bed XL to use as a toad. Fine state of affairs when you can't get a stick shift truck anymore.
Tom,
:B on the soccer truck comment. I call my F150 the baby truck. It's not a heavy duty truck, it's a darn nice car with a box. It's also an excellent daily driver. :W
I also have a Super Duty diesel when it's time for the heavy work. They're both 2016s and they both have around 25,000 miles on them so in my case it sure is a 50/50 mix of work and hard work.
If I had to tow my Super Duty I'd agree 100% with msmith.
Does anyone offer a manual transmission anymore? With the strength of todays automatics they work pretty well. I like a manual in a car but prefer an automatic in a truck. Then again I also plow (snow) with my Super Duty and plowing with a manual is just a real headache.
My F150 is a twin to Oceans.
