im starting to look into a single cab 8 foot bed deisel truck... f350...... im planning on hauling some pretty heavy ****......... so should i keep my truck longer only 7 months old....... would it be stupid to trade now......?

daver

im just thinking about it.. just a thought not a final idea

 

how far away from your house are you going to be hauling stuff?

if you aint gonna be on the road too long, keep your truck and get an older diesel flatbed for under $5,000 to haul stuff with.

Where is your CB antenna mounted? I used to clamp it onto the mirror bracket with my old F150, no longer an option though. Thanks, Bob B.

 

Well, are you going to be hauling stuff basically indefinitely, or just for a certain project?

Renting something, or buying a second truck (older diesel) may be the way to go. You would eat it pretty hard right now on a trade-in.

I personally would never trade a near-new vehicle in..."trading in" only makes sense when you have a POS car.

Otherwise, do a little work and make a couple extra grand selling it privately.

 

if u want a diesel buy an older ford with the 7.3 the new 6.0 are not nearly as good a motor.

 

I bought a wilson gumdrop mirror mount and drilled a hole in my back rack. the antenna I got just screws into the mount so I can easily remove it if needed.

 

I had a glass mount cb antenna on my 04.

 

nah i hang cabinets and i travel from canada to florida alot... and wanna haul a huge trailer to bring down my own cabinets ... instead of getting it transported ........ i dunno if putting 100k miles on a gas v8 is a good idea?

a bigger 4x2 deisel truck is what i would like........ but i dont know yet..


might even look at dodge.. i really like cummins..

 

good idea the cummins is the best diesel by far 200k waranty on those engines. my friend has one. 2005 2500
