New Tow Vehicle

New Tow Vehicle (2014 F350 Crew Cab 4X2 DRW PSD) is suppose to be at the dealer this week. Can't wait to see this truck in the Ruby Red. Trading in a 2011 White truck just like it and loved it. Only has 22,000 miles on it, and no problems at all.

  • You may not have the fuse/relay installed for the "hot" wire in your 7 way receptacle. You also must have the key on to send power to the receptacle in a Ford.
  • I just bought a new 2013 F150 Limited to replace my 2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer edition. I have a question. When I hooked the old Eddie to the TT I could run the power tongue jack. On the new F150, I cannot get the power jack to work. Is it a different wiring setup on the new vehicle? Any ideas would help, I use the manual crank to lower the TT now. Once I get electric hooked up at the camp site, the jack works again. TOM
  • Well several post have concerns that I am trading a 3 year old truck with only 22,000 miles. I have always traded my Vehicle every 2 to 3 years and my Wife's Vehicle every 2 years.
    Nothing wrong with that. We are both Administrators in the Healthcare Business and can financially do this and will continue to do so.
    I trade my 5th wheel every 3 years as well.
  • I don't think I could justify it! I have 115,000 on my 08' and will likely get the new body style and features of the 2015 GMC Dmax. It isn't the miles as much as the new stuff and an engine that gives a little better mileage.
    I don't really care if someone gets a 1/2 million miles or has their truck for 20 years the fact is the new techs make it a far better truck and the truck that is old normally has the body and insides worn out. Got to be styling!

    Gotta ask.........

    If your old truck is only 2 - 3 years "old", you loved it, it only had 22,000 miles, and the new one is just like the old one, why did you spend all of that money?

    So the rest of us can get a deal on good used truck. Think of it as a community service. ;)
  • Congrats OP
    I usually keep my trucks for ~20 years but that dam 2014 Ram is really sparking interest around here.
    You'll have to post photos of your new baby.
