Ticking the boxes for the wife and the TT

[bnqcsac]

I currently have an F150 SC EB pulling an Outback 250RS. Zero complaints about this setup. Runs like a champ. We live in Portland and I slay the Coast Range, Cascades and Siskiyous with regularity.

The DW has been hinting at wanting a new car, though.

She's successful, works hard, and her car has been bank free for quite some time. She'd be more than happy with something European or Luxury Asian, if you know what I mean. She deserves and is ready for an upgrade.

In a perfect world, I'd hand over the keys to the 2011 fully loaded Lariat and take her sensible and reliable low mileage car import. She can and does drive my truck from time to time. She's just not a PU kinda girl, you see.

We both have uninspired commutes under 5 miles.

If I could justify keeping a third car around I would, but Jr still has another 5 years before we unleash him on to the local roadways.

I'm certainly willing to give up on the towing capacity. We're very happy with our 250RS and I can unequivocally say that I wouldn't to pull anything larger that what we have. So no need to consider future towing needs if that's a factor.


Thanks for any and all input!!

So, why aren't you just trading in her low mileage import on something new?

:h

So....her new vehicle has to do double duty as a tug for the (8000 lb?) Outback?

I'll be interested to see what folks can suggest that can do that and at the same time satisfy the other parameters such as "luxury upgrade/no pickups" etc...

Ummm, is there a question there somewhere? Not sure what you're asking. :h
