Happy retirement, but I have a question. How does "retirement" and "summer work" go in the same sentence? :)

Yeah, our correct. I was in a hury when I wrote it. OTR

I've had 2wd and 4wd trucks in the past and currently a 4wd. I have found that when I had 2wd trucks, I always wished I had a 4wd. I will never not own a 4wd truck again, it's better than walking or hiring a tow truck.

I'm not denying the amount of trucks Ford sells against their competition. My "make it or break it" statement is due to the state of the automakers (all of them) in this economy. If Ford has issues with the new super duty when they roll it out, I believe it will hurt them in the future. Ford has...

Back to topic...sort of. I am in the same situation as you, except if Toyota made a 1-ton diesel it would be an easy decision for me. I am banking on Ford's next super duty that will be released in the spring. It is somewhat of a gamble since it will be an all-new powertrain built in house by...

A few updates for everyone. Last year at this time I lived in Dallas and I would have gone:( I woke up this morning to see a few inches on SNOW on the ground:eek: http://www.powerstrokenation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41081 And...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I wasn't sure on the amount years a unit could be financed. It looks like 5-15 years is about the norm. As far as credit goes, my wife and I have always been very careful to keep are credit up over the years and it pays off when you want to finance something.

I have a question that I’m sure most of you have dealt with. My wife and I are looking at getting a new or used fifth wheel. What are the average loan terms, amount of years financed, between a new or used fifth wheels? Is it similar to auto loans, new usually equals longer terms at lower rates...

Thanks for this information. I'm having difficulty answering these questions online.

Just a few questions for you MDT owners. What type of warranty does the average manufacturer offer? Loan terms on new and used trucks? What type of MPG is everyone getting loaded and unloaded? Are the trucks reliable as a daily driver? Is it very expensive to service these trucks? Thanks...

I don't see this advertised anywhere. What is covered? Is it bumper-bumper or powertrain only??? Thanks, Jason

If this configuration were available I'd have a brand new FODGY (Ford, Dodge, Chevy) sitting in the driveway. Makes me wonder why Ford didn't sign a contract with CAT after they cancelled their contract with International. Could you imagine a Ford F-450 with a CAT diesel and an Aisin...

Thanks everyone for your comments. The truck needs to be a 4x4 due the areas of the country we live in. It also has to be an automatic so the wife can drive it since it will be our only mode of transportation. I guess it really boils down to which features you like on any of the 3 choices and of...

Hello everyone this is my first post. I'm curious to get some independent suggestions on which brand of truck (new) everyone recommends. Looking at your suggestion with the experiences you have had. I am looking at pulling a Landmark Augusta, so I'll need a 1-ton. This truck will also be my...
