Just said good bye to my F350

A sad day today, my F350 V10 just sold. Due to limited driveway space and new local restrictions on bigger trucks the beast had to go.

The new owner is going to get one heck of a good tow vehicle.

Dependable, bullet proof, just a solid truck.

We just did a 3000km trip from Winnipeg to Wisconsin Dells and back with lots of side trips over the last 2 weeks. Just set the speed, hit the cruise and not worry. It kept up to any traffic and towed like a dream. First time in the 4 years I have had it that we took a big trip on the interstates. 23 to 32 L/100km depending on headwind and vehicle speed.

I had very sad emotions to see it for the last time but with the new F150 now in town at the local rail yard waiting to be unloaded, it was time.

Actually great timing. The dealership is lending me a vehicle until mine is ready to pick up which hopefully is only a few days.

It's truly amazing how much emotion we invest in these depreciating assets made of tin, plastic, and rubber...

  • I feel you, felt the same way when my 04 sold. Luckily the gentleman that bought it loves it as much as I did. Still find myself wishing I had her back.

    As for another brand I had a big grin when it was unloaded and replaced with another Super Duty. :B
