Nice rig, I've heard folks say the body of your truck will fall off before that 7.3 will quit pulling! Not saying the truck body is bad, just saying that the 7.3 is like the energizer bunny, It just keeps going and going and going.

+1. I'm a die hard Chevy man, but I do know that 7.3 Powerstroke is a beast

Mine is 12 years old, 260,000 miles, still looks and runs like a new one. It will probably outlast me! :E

Good rig there. $100 for that service isn't bad, but most of us spend the 10-15 minutes and less than $10 for the RV antifreeze and do it ourselves. Sometimes physical limitations dictate otherwise. My wife just had a hip replaced 8 weeks ago, and its amazing what she can do now. Almost no limitations (no jogging), and no pain.

Good looking set up!! Nice rigs.

Why did you HAVE to take it to get winterized?

Easy to do yourself and much cheaper.

My local dealer charges me $100.00. They winterize it plus wash and inspect the roof. I struggle with two fake hips and a fake knee so I'm sure as hell not getting on the roof!! :B It's well worth the $100.00 for me.

$100 :H

The wash job alone is worth that.....inspect and winterize are freebies

Pretty good dealer.

I'm close with one of the owners...:W

Nice combo. Congrats.

Nice. What did you have before?

I had a newer F150 with the Ecoboost. The truck was costing me a small fortune. I decided to sell it and get something older. Now I can haul more and tow more than my F150 at half the price.
