That is easy....Jeep. You never see full sized 4x4 trucks on Rubicon or at MOAB. Then again, I cant haul 1500 lbs of cow poop in my Jeep.

Thanks for the input guys. Our local Ford dealer has a 2005 King Ranch edition crew cab 4X4 with only 31,000 miles on it and I'm looking seriously at it. It has leather, heated seats and just about everything you can think of on it. Not to mention it has the same colors as the greatest professional football team in the world (meaning the green and gold of The Pack, of course)! :rock:

You will get many different stories. I Drive a Ford F100. It was my Dads and will never be sold if I have my way cause of that. But on a personal note, I HATE Fords. Dodge many will say will fall apart, some say Chevy will. But I seen Fords do the same. Ford does makes a good Duely. But so do the rest. It's how you care for any of them in the long run.

I had a GMC Pickup, I gave back to the dealer ship, then I had a Chevy Silverodo Pickup, if had not gotten totaled, I'll still have it.

So no matter what you read on here, it all up to you what you like.

Those are quite nice. Does it have a 6.0 Powerstroke or Triton V10 ? Actually I don't think I've ever seen one with a gas job. Most have a Powerstroke since the truck is expensive to begin with, might as well go all out. That's what I say, all or nothing. Of course my wallet reflects that.

I don't know much about the 6.0 liter but we had a 7.3 in a 99' at a place I used to work at . I was the only one that took care of it but only drove it when my big truck was down. The rest of the time it had multiple drivers beating the living crap out of it. It pulled a 25 gooseneck ALL the time. The trailer empty was 4500 lbs plus usually around 5,000- 8,000 lbs of equipment. That thing would pull the crap out of that trailer. We had other Ford's with the same set up just a couple years newer and wouldn't come close to pulling like that truck did. It had 150,000 on it when I left and last I knew it finally needed a transmission at 200,000

I've got over 171,000 miles on my truck and it runs like new-Just frequent oil changes and the Sea Foam treatment I give her twice a year.

had to replace the front right wheel bearing and that was EXPENSIVE
