Without a doubt. I bought the F150 to tow my Jeep to the Rubicon back in July and then sell it when I got back. I was without a tow rig at the time and needed something quick. I got a good deal and knew I wouldn't get hurt on it. I'll have it for sale in a week or so after I get it detailed and it will be replaced by a diesel of some sort. For the most part the F150 does what I ask of it, it's just down on power for all the mountain passes out here and really drinks the fuel when loaded because your screaming the engine to keep speed. When I towed my Jeep to the 'con the last 80 miles or so is a steady climb for the valley floor all the way up to Lake Tahoe (about 8000'). I fueled up at the bottom and burnt 2/3 of tank by the time I pulled into the staging area. It was in second gear at 3600-3700rpms for the better part of an hour and a half, mileage worked out to just a hair over 7mpg

LOL Thanks man.

The other one was paid off and I had a kid on the way. So I sold it for $14k and paid off a high interest student loan. It felt REALLY good to kill that loan and payment. Then I got a large raise 2 weeks later... Go figure right?
So I started saving up some cash again for another diesel. Then i found that dually. It was only a 2wd, but the price was right so I jumped on it.

Picked up a Dana60 for it last week Going to convert it to a 4x4 using coils and arms. I want to run 35s and 3.55 gears. Then I will start adding go fast parts
