I finally got a new tow rig. We picked it up last night. Well technically, my wife got a new truck, and I get to borrow it to pull my jeep around. LOL Its a 1999 Ford F350 crew cab 4x4. Its got a 7.3l powerstroke motor. (ITS GOT A CHIP) This thing has got some power now. Also with the the chip, Im not sure of the milage yet, but Ive driven 180 miles, and still have over 3/4's of a tank of fuel. Oh, and its running 305x70x16 BFG AT's. Now on with the pics:

Nice ride.

Great truck, congrats!
I told you my buddy had one. Ditto. The tires too.
He had 13 mpg.

pfff, i talk about a fullsize mpg. From here.

Man that is a fine truck!

......its alright.....Na that thing looks nice!

Well, we had the truck for about a week, and it started running like crap, and it wouldnt start. So for the last two weeks, it has been at a machanic. Long story short, it needs the motor rebuilt. When I started having trouble with it, I called the dealer that I bought it from. They were very good about it, and sent it to the machanic. Well, they did not want to foot the hole bill for the rebuild at the price I paid, and I wasnt going to pay more for it. So today I went back and picked up a new truck and an suv for my wife. I got both for the same price that I paid for the ford. Now I have a 99 Dodge 2500 extended cab 4x4 with a v10 ( I wanted a diesel, but they didnt have one), and a 96 Ford explorer 4x4 for the wife. Both are nice trucks. They are not exactly what we wanted, but this worked out nicely to have two vehicles instead of one. I just got home, and is dark, so I will get pics tomorrow.

Sounds like a good thing; getting out from under the one that needs rebuilding. I hope the new deal works out better for you.
