If youre going to get a a F150 you should get a atleast a 4.6l. The V6 is really weak and not much better on gas. ---

Watch out for the trannies on that gen f-150, the ones maded to teh 5.4L had a tendency to turn of O/D and keep it off. ---

> [@SilverGTP](#): > > older dodge ram might be good? Kinda like Mikes. You weren’t in Mike’s truck when it was crying pulling that empty trailer… I’m happy with mine… 12mpg… pulls anything, has room for 6 adults :lol: Rides like butter, even with 130k. Just needs gears to be quicker… ---

Word I like mine too. Actually love it. But I know choda doesn’t want anything new But you could get a 04’ F150 for a pretty good price ---

My payments are under $200 a month… and I’m not super worried about hurting it… if I had more disposable income like Chode, I’d buy an F250 with the 5.4 3 valve… ---

F-150s are my favorite. I know plenty of people who have them that tow all the time and they’ve never had a problem. My one buddy has a 01 with almost 100k miles on (from work and road trips) and he has never had one problem with it, he tows his boat every weekend to his campsite in the summer. ---

If your gonna tow and with the current and future gas price trends that are here to stay I personally wouldn’t get anything but a diesel for towing! ---

I say you get a early 80’s VW rabbit truck. j/k, That could possibly be the worst truck you want. ---
