Bye bye, diesel, hello ecoBoost
Well, things change as you all know, and we decided to forego a fifth wheel, and keep the TT for a few more years, then probably get a motorhome. So, no need to keep the diesel. Don't get me wrong, I ...

Don't get me wrong, I loved it! But I just retired, and am going to sell the commuter car, and use the new truck as my daily driver. DW will be working for another three years. Ok, here's the details; certified pre-owned 2016 F150 XLT, only 13k miles on the clock. Scab with 6 1/2 foot box, 3.5 ecoboost, 3:55 gears, 6 psd trans, max tow pkg. payload is 1843 lbs, GVWR is 7050. Can't wait to tow our Jayco with it, I'm sure it'll do fine. TT GVWR is 7600. Here she is-
EXACTLY the vehicle I've been looking for!! Where did you find it? We have a 2013 Jayco WhiteHawk 27DSRL with a GVWR of 7500 lbs and I sure don't need my one ton Ram diesel to tow it. Super Cab would be perfect cuz it's just me, the wife and the cat! :B That configuration in Super Cab is about nonexistent down here......
I wouldn't have minded a crew cab, but the crew cab with 6.5 box is even rarer! I was almost to the point of ordering new, but I just kept prayin, and searching dealer stock, and there it was. I couldn't get there fast enough, but I had to be coy. Don't wanna let the salesman know how bad you want something ya know! Just exactly what I wanted, and $13,000 less than the best price I could get on a new one! I'm as happy as a hog in slop! Good luck in your search Thomas.
