I'm currently working on a deal to trade in my 2011 Armada for this 2012 Diesel F350...that's going to be a seriously long rig when coupled to the 35' TT!

New Truck:



Armada + TT:

2014 Heartland Trail Runner 35' TT + ProPride 3P
2012 F350 SRW Power Stroke Diesel FX4 Long Bed
Mom, Dad, and 4 Rugrats!

Nice...congrats on the new truck! I'm just happy to finally HAVE a bed again 🙂 I had a Nissan Titan before the Armada. Nissan makes a spectacular vehicle.


Your right and the new Titan with the little Cummins should be a winner for them. We bought one of the first cross overs back in 2004. It looked rather strange at the time but it suited our needs for AWD in winter. The Infiniti FX 45 has been flawless for what, about a dozen years now. Right at 100k miles but she keeps chucking, err screaming along.

Something is in the air! Planets must be well aligned. I did the same thing last Saturday. Was trying to save a few more years, have cash for a new 3/4 or 1-ton, but keeping my eye on the used market.

In 3 hours on Saturday morning, I had seen, test driven, received an acceptable offer for my '09 Silverado 1500, drove out with a '13 Silverado 3500HD. Duramax/Allison, crew cab, long bed, 2WD, single rear wheels, couldn't be happier ... other than the fact the bed is just over 5" higher!
