Anyone know anything about it? Is this something we should run out and buy as
our new boat hauler?

It is a way to fight socialism, after all.

If you mean fighting socialism by buying Ford and not GM or Chrysler, I
would agree. Besides, there is a reason Ford is #1 in trucks.

Why, absolutely!

Mine is a F150 Lariat 5.4L gas, perfect for what I use it for, but know
if I had a heavy boat I would do a F350 diesel in a heartbeat. One of
the last few decent American made vehicles left actually.

If we move up to something bigger, it would probably be an F250. Don't need
anything more than that, as long as it had a good diesel.

Agreed. F350, unless the boat is really a big boat, F250 might be
better. But for a 18' fishing boat, a F150 is plenty for me.


We're thinking of a 5th wheel RV sometime in the future. Of course, that assumes
we can ever get this new dog to travel more than five miles in the car without
throwing up three times. This thing is really afraid of cars.
