Warning, don't go out and look for a car for the DW

We went out looking for a car for the DW to replace her everyday. While at the dealers, I roamed over to the trucks to look around. Salesman came over and asked if I was interested in a new truck and what was I looking for. I told him that I pull a trailer and just was browsing the new stuff. He asked if he could show me a deal he had and I mistakenly agreed.



2 hours later I am leaving with a 2019 F250 6.2 4x4 Crew Cab XLT with all the towing options and only 75 miles for under $35k on the road.:C

Unfortunately, we are still looking for the DW's car and I am in the doghouse until she finds it. :E

Well, it could have been worse.

You could have gone car shopping for the wife, and actually COME HOME WITH A CAR FOR HER!!! :E

Hate when that happens.

At least it’s a neat car. 2019 Bullitt.



Dang, that thing sounds good :C

The 6.2 makes for a great platform and the F250 gives you a decent amount of payload with the gas engine. I special ordered mine and couldn't be happier with it. Congrats!

Congrats on the new truck. So does that mean no new car for your better half?

I ended up with a new truck when I went in for an oil change and drifted out to the new truck lot while waiting. That was one expensive oil change. :B

I kinda sold SWMBO's little car. She now has a F150 4x4 🙂

Of course walking into the RV show, she says "how much will the truck tow"... oops!

The last truck, a Durango, was hers. Used it for the TV for years. She wants smaller for the daily driving.
