JV, you got my new truck. It matches the boat. I'm a couple years away from a trade up of boat and truck. I'll have to keep both in mind when I trade up either one.

With these Ford guys I can see what they are trying to tow the boat with, but my question is what they use to tow the truck????

Sled, thank stinks, seems to be lots of bargins for gas guzzlers like us moomba owners have LOL

Prius and carolla are going for premiums.

Well, after years of troublefree service, I traded in my 02 Avalanche for an 09 Avalanche. There are some things I miss about the 02 and a lot of things that are better on the 09. I really like the built in backup camera in the rear view mirror on the new truck. Hopefully, this truck will give me 8-10 years of trouble free life too.

Sled What the heck. I thought you wanted to get a Dodge MegaCab. You got a nice truck there. I still respect you even though you own a Ford. Just Kidiing. Nice looking truck.

'00 ford f150 heavy halfton. really an f250 underpinnings/tranny/rear and f150 body and engine. pita when you go to buy parts as half are f150, half are f250. 7lug hubs so aftermarket sucks
overall, a great truck. 130k on the clock and runs great. only drive in the winter and towing in the summer. I live for commuting on 2 wheels and we have some awesome twisties 5miles out of town my other hobby when not boating(or golfing)

Tazz, problem with the Mega cab is the short box. Less than 6 ft. I need the 8ft box, although the wife finds this truck just a touch too long for her compared to our old Dodge. If you don't get the Mega Cab, the Dodge 4 door back seats are very small and upright.

Depending on what is being hauled, this can temporarily give long-bed utility from a short-bed truck:
