Back In a Pickup

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share. Yesterday My wife and I added a new to us truck to our stable. It's a 2008 F150 SuperCrew XLT with 65k miles. Nothing fancy...just a nice basic truck. It has the 4.6l V8, 4speed auto, 8.8 rear end with 3.55 rear gears. It's a 2wd. It's replacing my old Town Car.

It will serve as a TV but only for light loads such as my utility trailer with a quad and a light weight fishing boat. Maybe a small TT/Hybrid/Pop up in the future. Way under 5,000 lbs which is the tow rating for a truck without the HD cooling that the tow package gives.

But what I really liked was that it has 1780 lbs of payload which is more than enough for our needs right now. It will be perfect for my Light duty needs.

Here is a few pics.





I need to get a receiver hitch added to it and a few other little things from etrailer(7 way RV plug, receiver hitch, P3 brake controller, etc)..but overall it's exactly the vehicle we needed.

Thanks!

Very nice Jeremiah!! Although the Town Car may be a more cushy ride, there is a reason a pickup truck is America's best seller. There is just so many uses for a Light Duty truck.

Congrats, hope you and Mama enjoy it!!
