Got stuck(twice) pulling my cooking trailer in Feb up nort in Minnesoda! Decided it was time(at age 59) to finally have a 4wd truck. Had almost bought a new 1500 series truck when thought that maybe it is the time in my life to have a diesel truck so went shopping--found this truck @ www.lenzauto.com (http://www.lenzauto.com) seemed ok and a little less then an '07 1500.

After about 300 miles still really like the truck but probably won't be a daily driver 'till the F150 expires. Well actually the one thing that has expired with this purchase is my retirement date--now it is 3yrs from next Thursday!!!!!!

This truck is gonna be used pulling our new cooking trailer to KCBS contests around the Midwest--as the trailer will only weighy about 6K when done am sure the duramax/allison is more than up to the task

Other than tinkering on the Harleys am NOT a diy guy anymore(well other than homebrewing anyway)<LOL>

Adding a spray on bedliner this week and one those shiny SS strips too!

As soon as I find a mechanic type in this area will spring for the nictane filter and exhaust system too--as long as it can be hidden from CFO!!

And as always will trade championship BBQ for advice

see ya

Great to hear! Where are you from? I have been to lenz auto before and looked at some trucks. The prices seem to be a bit high on the lot, but it is real easy to talk them down and I hear they pay top dollar for trade ins.

Live in Wood county(Nekoosa) about 100mnw of Fond du Lac--while it is easy to find one truck here and there at a dealers lot it is really nice to have such a selection!

Will have a more thorough opinion of the truck by the end of our season
