New guy here

Just joined up - nice site. I got my '05 in June for a song when nobody wanted a truck due to gas prices. Only has 40K miles. I love the Wedgewood Blue and rarely see any others. This one also has a factory moonroof and the ltd slip rear. Just love it!

Snapped this pic at Christmas here in MN!

66,
Just thought of something.Being its winter by you&by me,Im in NJ,you might want to put some weight in the back to give you stability in the snow.I loaded up just 500LBS of sand in my truckbed&now she rides rock solid,very stable.Something to consider,or sandbags...Pete

I thought of that - Then I figured I'd probably lose money at the pump with decreased gas mileage with all the weight???? I haven't had trouble yet, and I think the LTD slip rear helps alot. I rarely use 4WD.

Nice truck, welcome to the site. I already spent 5 times my truck payment, and I just mailed the first payment out.
