New truck

Picked up my new '17 F350 today.

Wow, I'm seriously impressed! I thought there is no way I'm going to be blow away, it is light years ahead of my old ram!

It was difficult finding a lighter optioned truck as I saw no need for a platinum or king ranch, as well as the 80k price tag too. My local dealer of all people gave me the best price and I got a XLT, crew cab long bed, diesel.

Now to order a super hitch and frame mounted tiedowns from torque lift!

    Wow, nice rig. Selling my 05 right now.


    Going new or newer? I wanted to buy a few years old but the incentives were awesome and they gave me what I paid for my Ram 4 years and 50k miles ago! Plus I stripped it and sold most of the gear.

    This was an expensive truck but I'm happy to be back in a Ford. Oh and Ford just released another $1000 first responder rebate yesterday. Over $4000 in rebates on the new trucks.


    Going way old. Bought a 2000 V10 truck for awhile. TO save some cash, build the business, and buy momma a new car. She said I can get my newer dually in a couple years.


    Nothing wrong with that plan my friend! Best of luck!
