Now I can play with the big boys.

Well, not the real big boys. I woke up this morning with no intentions of making any purchases but lo and behold, I traded my RAM Laramie 1500 for a Ford F250 Lariat FX4 Powerstroke. We will be testing it out tomorrow as we head out on a 3000 kilometer trip with our fiver in tow.

It's not new. It has 50,000 Kms. It has been broken in already. Thanks for the concern though.

Nothing but peer pressure on this forum, not to mention the evil eye of the weight police.
