Maybe. But the thought of getting in a wreck would make me cry.
A truck is a work vehicle.
Not a glorified, oversized Caddy.
Bkmrk.
and no seat belts. Dirt roads and Friday nights ... Yum
Yeeh Haw! Let’s go muddin!
“With the Texas State Fair coming up tomorrow, Ford’s new Super Duty Limited line offers Texans three new ways to waste spend their hard-earned cash on Super Duty trucks.”
Every other urban cowboy in TX drives super duties, wears designer jeans, and custom boots. Poor saps wouldn’t know how to throw a bale of hay or drive a fence post!
El Jefe status symbol. Nice truck for those who are in that tax bracket though and don’t worry about fuel costs; maybe even write all of it off for work.
Yes, it is more than most need, but for those who pull a trailer and spend a significant amount of time on the road per year; I can see the value.
Where I live, I see pickups and Jeeps that I call show trucks and show jeeps. The guys, and they’re practically always factory workers or gym rats, have them all shiny and full of options, and they baby the hell out of them, because they have so much money tied up in them. They wouldn’t dare get them dirty or take them off road. Or risk getting a tiny ding or scratch on them. And they always park them in the far corners of parking lots, or they take up two parking spaces, or park somewhere, where no one can park beside them. It’s gotta be stressful to worry so much about your expensive pickup or jeep. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be with a pickup described in the article.
Whatever you do don’t buy a GMC with 8 speed transmission. I have a 50k truck with one and it jerks and clunks, and down shifts all over the place.
Had it in 3 times and they rechipped it. Still does it. They showed me a bulletin stating it was normal for this transmission. Crazy!
Almost bought a 2017 F350 dullie.. I have a 2008 F250 but the $65k price tag was insane and it was a glorified XLT not the Platinum. My 2008 listed for $42k new when I bought it but I got it for $31k.. just turned 80k miles and it looks new so I’ll keep it for a long while to come.
And a three on the tree.
When will the wars breakout between
Assembled in Kentucky
Assembled in Alabama
Assembled in Foreign country
.....From parts made in USA
or From parts made in China
AM radio? You were in a luxury model of the times!
I’m in the market for a 2018 F250 Diesel. Don’t want a lot of options, just something to tow my travel trailer in our retirement. Problem is, my 2001 Excursion Diesel is still going strong after 298,000 miles and I hate to give her up.
We bought out first Ford vehicle, not a truck, a few years ago. It’s going to be our last Ford vehicle unless the trucks are better made and more reliable. Any recent Ford truck buyers care to comment? How good are their, non-luxury, trucks these days?
For $100,000, it better have at least 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
