P.S. Drove an F350 diesel yesterday. Long bed. Won't fit in my garage,
would have to live in the old barn. I could cut a few feet off the bed,
I suppose...


Why do you want/need a big, diesel truck anyway? I bought mine because
it was the only SRW truck that could tow what I wanted to tow at the
time. (Don't like "dualies").

Now that I don't need to tow anything that heavy I am seriously thinking
of replacing it ... if I can find something I like.

I don't have a need for one. A friend of mine has one he uses to haul
around his motorcycle trailer. He's got a covered walk-in trailer that
holds his three motorcycles, tools, and a pretty complete mini machine
shop. He came over last night with the truck, sans trailer, and I borrowed
it for a quick ride.

Do you haul Mrs. E's horsies around? If not, maybe you don't need a truck
at all.

It is very rare that we trailer the horses although the horse trailer is
very handy for making runs to Lowes or occasionally trailering a motorcycle
or something. Mrs. E. has one of those Lincoln Mark something pickups ....
basically a dolled up Ford F-150 that could tow the horse trailer. The only
other thing I occasionally tow is the car trailer with something on it, but
the Lincoln could handle that as well ... for relatively short distances
anyway. If I were to make another hauling trip like the one I did to
Denver, I'd much prefer the F-350, but it's unlikely a trip like that will
come up again.
