After owning three Chevy's, I did the unthinkable. Bought a Ford. It's kind of hard to accept, but this thing is a towing machine...

Hey Domin8r,
Looks great. :cool:
I notice both of your trucks have been white. Is that so they generally match your boat?
This is embarrassing to admit but I'm thinking about getting a truck but it will pretty much have to be white because my boat is mostly white.
Also, do you use a loofah sponge in the shower?

And the one before that was white also...Just my thing, but yeah it sure matches the boat and Weekend Warrior. I have to keep it looking good Tom. No loofah here though :)

I recomend a Volkswagen Rabbit pick-up (yes you can get a diesel one) Tom. Earl Scheib can repaint one white for you if needed.

Domin8r, what are the details on the truck you are selling?
04 2500 HD, LS Graphite interior, 4x4, 6.0 engine, extras: 8 in lift with fox shocks, kodiak fold down steps, custom exhaust, billet grill, Volant cold air intake, rhino bed liner, in dash 7in dvd player with 17 in fold out monotor on the head liner. 19k miles. Awesome truck, it hurts to get rid of it but had to get a diesel. I'm going to ask 35K obo when I list it tomorrow.

Nice truck imo. I just got back from the ford dealer myself BUT no truck yet. I have had my eye on a couple 03 f-250 4x4 v-10 cc sb and got the price on a new one and right now the 04 is only a few more grand. Would like to go the diesel route but it is not a daily driver, only on weekends and to the river. Anyhow very nice truck, Im also looking at white :D

Had a Ford Superduty 7.3 diesel.
Had a GMC 8.1 gasser.
Have a Dodge/Cummins with a 6 spd. 24k+ miles and still haven't found a reason to take it back to the dealer for service. Now there's a refreshing change for the better!

Not once you hit the HD level and opt for the Allison.
You want talk about tranny reliability and use Ford (or Dodge) in the same sentence? Especially when we're talking diesel? I wouldn't. ;)

Thanks Tom...needed it to tow the Weekend Warrior. My old truck could handle it no problem but it sure took A LOT of gas to do so.

Well someone took major offence to the :boxingguy Ford vs Chevy :boxingguy thing and gave me a major red chicklet. It was like a grenade going off in a chevy trans.
But we all know that there are more Ford tow trucks out there serving and protecting helpless GM owners after they use there OnStar, which they need to help keep them safe.
But when it all boils down as long as we can all try and buy American that will help everybody in the long run.
