New Ride

[KiotiKowboy]

What's a man to do? The wife insisted I should have a new truck, so I had no choice but to say - Anything to make you happy honey





This one is just for driving up to the local Sonic and getting a Coke. I kept the old 2001 F150 for the farm

Whoa,nice.3/4 Ton....I purchased a 1/2 ton Z71 double cab last month.Really like mine and I am sure you will yours.Must have the 6.0 liter?My 5.3 is getting amazing mileage.

 

[KiotiKowboy]

Yes, I went for the 6.0 gasser. The diesel is nice but for another $8K ... I think not. This has plenty of tow power if I ever need to drag the Kioti around.

Gas mileage .... uh ..... I need to find a pump that dispenses bank loans along with the fuel - lol. 36 gallons of non-ethanol at $3.39 a gallon and averaging about 12.5 for the first 200 miles. It will run on E85, which I think is less expensive but I wouldn't use that crxp for anything but frying fish.

Nice looking truck. Hopefully the mileage will improve substantially over 12.5.

Where is NE Oklahoma are you from? We moved from the Grand lake area a few years ago.

You found me I moved up from Tulsa about 2 years ago. The only things I miss - lots of restaurants and an awesome bike trail system.

Awesome truck! and a sharp color too.

Not to hijack but can you tell me how Grand Lake compares with Table Rock? We've been looking for a different vacation spot. Thanks.

So that's got to be a 2015, right? Looks good!

Grand Lake is almost exclusively for boating recreation, as shoreline swimming is almost non-existent. Many would say the water quality is also on the poor side. Of course, the lake is packed on the weekends and fishing tournaments abound. I would say that Table Rock is cleaner, deeper and colder and most likely more camping friendly. You will also find more entertainment away from the lake.

Yes - just picked it up last Saturday. We added the chrome step rails, a spray-in bed liner, a bed mat, tires and wheels. I think the wheels really make it pop, and that's what I wanted. Sure, I'll manage to do some actual work with the truck but its main purpose is just to have a flashy ride
