    Should take possession next week.

    Yea, I like this one better!

    Wanted the 5.0, But settled for the 2.7L for better mileage. With 325 HP it goes pretty decent. :D

    Nope and it is no longer Brays. The brewery is no more. The restaurant scene has changed as well.

    We had the 5.4 triton in the old truck, Wasn't supposed to be all that reliable. We got 90,000 miles and 14 years out of her. Still runs strong too. Its just the rust that got her.

    I just don't wanna be layin in the gravel drive changing brake lines. :BrianK:

    I love the looks of the new rides you guys are posting......

    Sort of a "BOW TIE CROWD" around here. :rofl: :lol:
    Used to be a Ford kind ya know..,,back in 97 we bought an F350 Crew cab SRW Power stroke 4x4

    Nothing but major issues with that thing from a few minutes after we headed home with it.

    Always in the shop, never got to haul the horses anywhere but what that beast let us down.

    It had 26000 miles on it and we offed it and headed over to the DARK SIDE....Never looked back......

    We love the little Avy pickup....pretty much worthless as a truck....BUT THE AVY LOOKS COOL.....:D

    We use the old Burb as the "Pack Mule" to haul the dumpster and anything else that's heavy.
    It has the 454 engine and pretty much shrugs off any work.

    The little red van is the daily gogettem giddyup go until it gets mated to the snowcat.... (That is why I bought it anyway)

    The Avy is the cruiser.....when ya want to look cool. :picard:

    I'd be happy with 18 as the 5.4 was lucky to get 15 down hill with a tail wind.........

    Insane.
    I can't believe how much vehicles (esp. trucks) have gone up.
    Mostly because they have morphed the trucks into luxury vehicles..
    I remember when they were $3,000.........
    Just a truck.

    Very nice write up, except I will argue that only a major leak at the door could create a problem.Just my thoughts ant theory.But,i have been wrong before.
