Default Got the tow rig, just need a trainer now

Subject line should say "trailer", not trainer.

I've been looking for and researching trucks all year, and really started narrowing it down within the last few months. I blame Nash since he beat me to it and bought the big new Dodge diesel. It's all his fault. I was stuck on Dodge for a long time, and went back and forth between gas and diesel, but ended up going with the Ford power stroke diesel.

It's a 2003 F-350, crew cab, short bed, 4x4, Lariat, 7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel with 11,000 miles. It's flawless, ultra plush inside and the bask seat is huge. It's got the trailer tow package with all the wiring and 3.73 limited slip rear end.





~edit~ added new pictures

Dang, exactly what I want or maybe the F-250 (Deisel). How much for that puppy if you don't mind me asking?

Jeez...

So who's going to buy the bigger trailer, you or Nash?! If you guys show up with 42' Hallmarks, there's going to be some envy down in the Paddock...

Nice rig BTW

Sweet truck!! When's the 5th wheel trailer coming and the Superchip. Put a superchip in it and you'll be able to roast those rears!

Dunno, but Mike Quan's 28' ultra deluxe box looked pretty darn cool.
I'll start with a open trailer for the first year or so and move up. I'm not a rich guy like you.

Want to buy it? J/K! I love my trailer.

You had to get a better truck than me, didn't me!? Got the Lariat with the leather seats...nice. Make sure to get some synthetic tranny oil in there as that is the weak point of our trucks.

I got the Superchip 1705 tuner. It kicks a@@. I only have it on the 70 hp program now. As soon as I get my gauges, I am moving up to the 90 hp.

Mike, your truck is nice as hell. Seeing it up close made me really swing over to Ford. Plus the crew cab ownz Dodge. Email me info on trans fluid brands and your tuner thingy. This truck is pretty darn cool.

PS. Remember the data-entry girl? She said I look hot in it. She says, "There's just something about a guy in a nice big truck".

Cool - now all you need is some propane injection, larger intercooler and turbo and a 5" exhaust and you should be able to make about 600-800 hp and 1000+ ft/lbs of torque.
