Next truck for pulling the toy hauler

[LONE-STAR]

I have been checking out the used HDT market lately. It would be much cheaper for me to keep my F250 and buy a 2005 or so Volvo HDT than it would be to trade for a F450. I may end up going that route when I buy a big toy hauler.

I had thought the same thing but I don't wan't to maintain 2 trucks. A big rig for me would set way to much.

Mike, I have had an 03, and an 08, both were first year of new engines, and won't do that again... LOL I think I will let Ford work out the bugs without me this time!

I am just about ready to pull the trigger on a 2010, pretty darned soon, looking at a f-350 SRW 6.4l crewcab.

Quick - my dad is about to sign on an '08 F-450 DRW that seems like a good deal, only has around 7,200 miles on it. Has 4 doors, leather, Navigation system in-dash, and an 8-foot bed so the thing is a beast and he has them down to 41k. But it sounds too good to be true. Still has a 100k warranty, but wondering if that '08 engine is a problem?

Nice truck John. That should get 'er done pulling the trailer along.

Dan, the 08 was not a bad engine, just had a few bugs. Mine gets terrible mileage. Some of them had problems with the DPF regen thing, mine smoked SOOOO bad when I first got it, people would pull off the road behind me.

Looks good I like the blue.

Yeah, that blue is a lot better than the neon blue on my Toy. Although mine is pretty easy to spot in the parking lot, shines like a beacon .

John, thanks for the quick reply, having brunch with the parents later this morning. Call me old-fashioned, but even at the discount price he found the truck for, 41k is serious coin in my book.

He's taking the equipment trailer down with him this week when he goes to get the 450, will drive his current 350 onto the trailer and tow it home. I hope he takes pictures of that. I sure hope that Ford appreciates him spending my inheritance this way
