Found A Truck

After months of searching we finally found a truck to pull the new Monty. We found a 2005 F350 Dually long bed King ranch.
It has a few more mile than I wanted but it should do the job nicely. We opted for the King Ranch as we will be spending many hours traveling across this great country. Thanks for all the knowledge from this forum. We also just found out our new Home 3455SA is a 2011 model.

Congratulations!!
Now you can go in style.
We just bought our "new/used" truck, a 2007 Silverado K3500, crew cab, long bed dually. More miles than we wanted also, but the price fit our budget .
We, also, are planning to get a 3455SA next year and hit the road fulltime.
Sounds like we're on similar tracks.
We hope to see you on the road.
Go gettem.

Congratulations on your new 3455SA. I think you’ll enjoy the truck just as much especially when the Montana is hooked on the back.

Congratulations on your new rig. You will enjoy the ride and feel of the King Ranch. I have a 2008 and enjoy everything about it except the mileage. My 4:33 rear end is not fuel friendly.

Thanks for all the replys. Picked the New to us 2005 F350 PSD King Ranch DRW 4X4 on Saturday in Texas. Drove it home to Green Bay WI.
Runs like a champ averaged 14.6 MPG at 65-75. It does have the 4:10 gears so I expect the MPG a little lower when empty. Our new Monty arrived at the dealer Today. Now it is going to take forever for my retirement to start.


We are excited everything is coming together
