I don't post much but do look in once every so often to see whats up. Life, job, 5 acres of property, and a JD tractor has put a crimp in my camping/play time over the last year and the foreseeable future. After considering selling the Grandby I've decide I'm keeping it since it's paid for and I still want to use it once in a while when time allows. The flip side is the Jeep Wrangler would have to go so I sold it.
I also decided it was also time for a new truck so a couple weeks ago I put in a order for a new F350. I want/need a decent payload and the F250 is a little borderline. I also wanted the 6R140 tranny because of where I live as opposed to the "G" tranny in the F250. As previous discussions in other threads indicated, I'm going gas this time. The 2017's are all new and after careful research and a few test drives I feel it will fit my needs. ETA is first part of July.
A few details is case anyone is interested...
