congrats on your new purchase, and good travels.
one question though, did you think about getting a f250?

[3P'sInACougar]

Yes but not in price range. 90% of my driving is to work an other. Only pull trailer about 3-4 times a year right now an might try to hook my 21 ft boat behind an try that too still will be under weight and length for my state. Thanks.

Good luck with it, towing 11,300 with a V6 is great, is the payload really 2600? I thought it was more like 1,700+.

Anyway, good luck.

Sounds great. Let us know how you like the truck. I think it will be my next TV in a few years.

OK, that is good news, I was just reading it off the Ford Towing guide.

Thank gentlemen. I'll let you guys know when we go camping this summer how it works out.
