bought new TV to pull monty

Well i went and did it this time, got the itch to go and buy a new truck, and since i am still working and am on the road with work all the time, so in essence they are paying for it anyways. ended up with a 08 F-450. love it so far, a lot bigger than the 3/4 that was the TV.

i knew going in that i was going to upgrade, and this is the truck i wanted, so found it close to home, and well now it sits in the driveway. should pull the monty with no problems. i have a company truck to use all the time, so it wont see too many miles, pretty much when towing the monthy to the next project somewhere USA.

That is a beaut of a truck, I drove one last year at the Good Sam Rally in Redmond Oregon. The dealer let me take it to the fairgrounds to show the DW. I ALMOST pulled the plug then, but didn't. It is a brute of a truck and will probably tow any 5er on the market. Gas Mileage ????? was what put me off.....

Hope you enjoy many miles with it.......

Sign me: Somewhat envious!!!!

here is a pic of the new beast i hope, new to adding a pic here. love it so far, fuel mileage is a little on the low side to say the least, but the amount of mileage it will see it should not be a problem.
