Thinking about buying a new truck

Any suggestions???

I already know I don't want another diesel.

Thinking about a HD F150 or an Expedition....... Hummmm.....

Or maybe something small and a used dually.......

if your pulling an enclosed trailer I doubt you'll be happy with the smaller gasser...........

i guess that depends on what size trailer he's pullen.my gasser works good for my little 26'er. still gets 12mpg,same as empty!

Well I've already decided it not going to be a diesel...... To scared of the repair bills, they cost to freaking much to buy / maintain and the fuel ecomony sucks on the new ones from what I've been hearing. Only reason I purchased the diesel last round was it was a late 06 leftover, 0% financing, a whole bunch of rebates, $$ off sticker and a bunch for my trade. I don't believe Ford is giving any SD diesel away like that right now.

The 5.4, 6 speed.3.73 HD towing package looks decent in the F150's (I'm considering one) the 5.4 pkg in the Expedition (not as heavy) but still rated at about what I need. As far as the superdutys they are nice trucks but ford thinks they are made of gold....I'm leaning away form them.

I tow a 26' enclosed trailer what seems the be a few dozen times a year and I'm past the point in my life of needing to go 110 mph up a mountian.... If you know what I mean? I have towed with a half ton Dodge 5.7 hemi prior to this F350 and other than the Dodge being a POS it had plenty of power. The trailers is about 3700, car 3100 and gear about 1000 = about 7800 and we'll round up to 8500 for safe limit.

I'm also considering a smaller SUV, Car or F150 and buying a seperate used older dually, a friend has a 1ton Chevy dually that needs a little work for $1500 454 auto, 4.10's, gas pig yes, chevy Junk Yes but for the $$$ and time it will be used may be worth a look, even thinking about finding a 350 like Blake has???

Randy

you fix your fuel leak Coug?????

The old 7.3 are way freaking expensive too, seen a bunch of them beat to death and guys are still wanting $15+k WTF

I'm thinking Old School Gas Big Block 460 or (cough Cough) 454, hell I can put 2 motors in one for the price of 1/2 a diesel (not counting the initial buy in cost) and for all the more miles I'll put on it Fuel cost isn;t a big deal!!!
