My new ride.

Just came last Monday. Special ordered F350 Dually with 6.7 liter Diesel. Don't Think I'll have much trouble towing the Aerolite 242 now!

I know right now its overkill (not that I don't mind overkill.) I'd rather have too much power with no worries. Especially pulling up grades.

Eventually we will be upgrading to a fifth wheel. Its already set up with the Goose Hitch.

I think I want one of those too! Need to pull a 25000 pound 5th wheel!

Purdy truck! I have his older brother, 2015 Platinum F-350 dually. 39,000 miles and no trouble so far. Pulls the old 3990 Voltage like it was nothing. Congratulations.

Nice! Had bad experience with Ford before, so i am not really a supporter. But it’s definitely a sweet looking ride!

Congrats and enjoy!

With that truck I doubt you'll even know the trailer is behind you.

LOL you're right on that one. I wonder if the truck will drop down any when I connect the trailer.
I have a camping trip third week of march in Marion North Carolina. Its only about 1.5 hours from my house. Won't be much of a test but I'll post my experience with it when I return.
