New Tow Vehicle

Gotta ask.........

If your old truck is only 2 - 3 years "old", you loved it, it only had 22,000 miles, and the new one is just like the old one, why did you spend all of that money?

Congrats OP
I usually keep my trucks for ~20 years but that dam 2014 Ram is really sparking interest around here.
You'll have to post photos of your new baby.

Congrats on the new ride!

So the rest of us can get a deal on good used truck. Think of it as a community service. ;)

I don't think I could justify it! I have 115,000 on my 08' and will likely get the new body style and features of the 2015 GMC Dmax. It isn't the miles as much as the new stuff and an engine that gives a little better mileage.
I don't really care if someone gets a 1/2 million miles or has their truck for 20 years the fact is the new techs make it a far better truck and the truck that is old normally has the body and insides worn out. Got to be styling!

Well several post have concerns that I am trading a 3 year old truck with only 22,000 miles. I have always traded my Vehicle every 2 to 3 years and my Wife's Vehicle every 2 years.
Nothing wrong with that. We are both Administrators in the Healthcare Business and can financially do this and will continue to do so.
I trade my 5th wheel every 3 years as well.

I just bought a new 2013 F150 Limited to replace my 2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer edition. I have a question. When I hooked the old Eddie to the TT I could run the power tongue jack. On the new F150, I cannot get the power jack to work. Is it a different wiring setup on the new vehicle? Any ideas would help, I use the manual crank to lower the TT now. Once I get electric hooked up at the camp site, the jack works again. TOM

You may not have the fuse/relay installed for the "hot" wire in your 7 way receptacle. You also must have the key on to send power to the receptacle in a Ford.

I found out a couple months ago that the 12v line to the trailer connector is not live with the key off. I would think that your jack would be powered from your trailer battery though.

Battery is often dead on trailer due to lack of use and I will check the fuse for the "hot" wire. I am guessing that would be in the fuse block? I haven't really had a need to look for blown fuses yet. Thanks for all the info.
