[A/S] New Tow Vehicle





I picked it up today.  I have driven it 210 kms today, all around 
town to set the brakes etc. because the owners manual says 800 kms 
prior to towing.  I tow on Saturday, so I "absolutely have to" drive 
this wonderful beast for the next three days to get my mileage up.  
What an inconvenience, right? Ha, Ha!  It is a 2004 F250 Superduty, 
Supercab, short box 4X4 6.0L diesel 5 speed automatic with 3.73 gear 
ratio, and 265 tires.  I don't know why I did not do this four years 
ago, but it must be fate, because four years ago they did not have 
the 6.0.  I loved my F150/7700 model and hated to trade it, but two 
trucks in the driveway is one too many.  BUT, and this is a big BUT -
 I am gonna love this truck even more than the last one.  Two years 
ago I couldn't even spell "Happy Camper" and today, 'I ARE ONE'.  
Cannot wait to see how it pulls.
