I don't think I've posted here, if this is a repeat I apologize.
First, original tow vehicle when I pulled the new TT home in the fall of 2003 - 1987 F350 stake body dump, dually, 4sp creeper gear manual, 4.10 limited slip rear end, 460ci with 4 barrel carb. Doesn't like to go over 55mph, actually doesn't like the highway at all. A beast that I am still using today for work:
Second. Had planned on buying a newer tow vehicle, and bought this the next year after buying the TT -- used 2000 F250 7.3 diesel extended cab, 2 wheel drive. GREAT truck, doubled my fuel mileage from the F350 gasser. I was warned (in these forums) about the cab, and sure enough within 3 years my growing kids out grew the cab. That is my son on the boat, 3 years later he couldn't fit behind the front seat:
So, third. Bought what I should have bought all along (isn't that always the way?). Got a great trade in for the 7.3 diesel, and a really good deal on the 2008 F250 crewcab, 5.4, auto, tow command, 2 wheel drive. Truck has been great so far. We've put miles on it, and the kids ask to take the truck now whenever we go on a long drive as a family:
After 2 decades of snowplowing, I got out of that work (thank God!), and found I just didn't need 4 wheel drive.
