So big day today. Turned 80k and still love this truck. Longest I have had one vehicle and plan on keeping it for a long time. Plus I only have 5 payments left. Also still on the original brakes all the way around got to love the engine brake on the Cummins.

I have that same tonneau cover, love it for getting in the toolbox, I use the front almost as much as the tailgate.

Yep, sure makes access easy.
I used it a lot before and I suspect even more now.

towing my car trailer on sunday, found a frozen brake caliper (its only 8 months old) so doing brakes all around and new wheel bearings and seals while I am at it.

Also finding that with my built tranny my temps are higher than id like when towing heavy so going to install a larger cooler this week

Well....
Yesterday my wife had two specialists doctors appointments in a town about 40 miles south. In between appts. we checked out the Ford dealer. Found a F150 that had what we needed that we could afford and they gave us a better price & trade in than our town. Two hours later we drove to the second doctors in a new truck!
Race red, 5L 10 speed, towing package with brake controller and pro assist backup towing control. No max payload, no max towing ;( Still better than an eleven year old Explorer. NOW SWMBO is satisfied and confident enough to go far afield camping

We went out looking for a car for the DW to replace her everyday. While at the dealers, I roamed over to the trucks to look around. Salesman came over and asked if I was interested in a new truck and what was I looking for. I told him that I pull a trailer and just was browsing the new stuff. He asked if he could show me a deal he had and I mistakenly agreed.



2 hours later I am leaving with a 2019 F250 6.2 4x4 Crew Cab XLT with all the towing options and only 75 miles for under $35k on the road.

Unfortunately, we are still looking for the DW's car and I am in the doghouse until she finds it.

Full tank of go juice prepping for our drive down to the Tadpole rally. Today was the last day to use our March Kroger fuel points...

Congratulations! That sounds like a great price on your new truck

Swapped the Hitchhaul sensor from the Explorer to the F150. It read the VIN and was ready to go. It does wipe out the previous vehicle's data. No new calibration needed.
