My NEW TRUCK to PULL THEM AROUND!! WOO HOO!!! Yesterday I picked up my new Ford SuperDuty F-250, CrewCab, 4x4 Lariat V-10, in Island Blue, which sometimes looks green and sometimes looks blue, kinda cool. I bought it online! under invoice price with a rebate and a free shell camper and 0% financing from FordFleetDirect.com They delivered it to a local dealer. No trade-ins, and it took about 6 weeks to get it. But I special ordered it and got it just the way I wanted. No more half-ton Chevy transmission blues. This baby is a Beast. A Brute. A Clydesdale. Cowboy Cadillac? Nah, more of a Rocker's Rolls Royce. Gotta love that OHC V-10 motor. No diesel for me, I don't smoke, why should my truck? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Man,....After reading that post, my S-10 is going to feel like a golf cart....LOL

Congratulations on your new ride.

At least you don't have to worry about finding loose gravel on the pavement to get the tires smokin'

Wow! Sounds like a cool truck you got there. Nice Raptorette, I like all the mods you did to it, it look really cool. I was wondering what size tires you got on the front of the Raptorette, and where did you get them from? Thanx

wow sounds awsome, I bet that mileage is a bit rough on that v10 though, not that I get mileage with my modified tundra i'm lucky to get 15mpg, but it eats up those back roads like nothing, hope those fires we are getting dont get to close to your home or favorite riding areas, a little rain would be nice

It's too bad, you picked the right quads, but the wrong truck. The V-10 Ford does not have enough ***** to get out of it's own way to prevent from getting run over by the Chevy 8.1 V8 or my Duramax V-8.

Good quads, but a try-to-be truck. Certainly not a Coyboy Cadillac by any stretch. Everyone knows there is only one of those and todays turbo diesel's don't smoke either, just eat gassers for lunch.

Have a great day and watch out for those black trucks.


PS -- You deserve a trip to the diesel forum to find out where the "real" power is at with todays trucks.
