A New "Ride"

Well, after 231,000 miles it was time to trade in "Old Betsy".  Duane has had this truck longer than he has had me.  He loved the truck, and almost cried when we traded it in.  However, I think the new truck looks a lot like the old one, don't you?

This old truck was a real "work horse".  Not only did he use it every day for his inspection jobs, but it also pulled a 5th wheel and this Airstream trailer.

The new truck has a bigger Super Crew Cab.  Also, it is an F-150 rather than an F-250 like the old one, but just as rugged.  Ford made the body style of the F-150 more like the F-250.

The new truck is much quieter, not being a diesel, and just feels more comfortable---MY STYLE!

The engine is their new ECOBOOST Twin Turbo Charged V-6.  There is a video of just how powerful this engine is on U-Tube under the name of Ford F-150 ECOBOOST Torture Test.
