New F250 on the way!

Hi all,

I'm moving up from a Toyota Tacoma to an F250 because I want to get a fifth wheel trailer and the Taco can't tow it. I'm looking forward to learning about the truck and Fords in general on this site. My first two vehicles were Fords - a '79 Fiesta and a '60 Mustang Mach I.

Thanks! I just realized I said a '60 Mach I - I meant a '69 Mach I. That thing was sweet, with a 428 and a five-speed manual and a Holley 750 double-pumper. I miss that car, and it was my first foray into big engines. Now my wife has a 370Z that makes about the same (or more, probably) horsepower with two fewer cylinders and about half the displacement!

I test-drove the F250 a couple of weeks ago and it made my Toyota feel like that 370Z - tiny!
