Guys,
As much as I hate to say it, my good looking and running 2001 2WD F-150 is not going to cut it. I just passed 100K on it too...
My only choice will be used, and in fact I will need a good deal so I will be looking for a while. But I need to know how to recognize a great truck when it appears.
Also, I am a Ford guy. Nothing personal, no bashing, but I will not buy another brand (maybe a sweet 1970 chev :thumbsup: but that is for show, not for tow). Sorry, it is just the way I am wired.
I want to be able to tow my tractor and a horse trailer with a couple horses.
I NEED 4x4 and 4-door at a minimum.
I WANT to be able to drive it and park it if I need to for work which is a LONG 60 to 75 mile one way commute with some of the worst traffic in the USA (I-95N from VA into DC) and into dense parking lots or airport lots etc.
I think I want Diesel, but I'm not sure. I think I'd prefer SRW and I'm fine with less than an 8' bed, but I think I want to pull gooseneck trailers. So...
I'm also pretty sure this list means I am totally insane, crazy, etc...
So... is it a 2006 with 6.7? is it a 1989 with 7.3? Gas or Diesel???
Please give me some guidance so when I start looking I will know what is worth buying, and more importantly, what to avoid buying.
Thanks in advance,
David
