Ford F-150

I have a 99" 150, with the V-6, I only tow an 18" Tracker weighted about
2400lbs. It does just fine, I live in the mountains of North Carolina and
Fish South Carolina most of the time, so up and down the mountain usually
whenever I go out, it is a great truck.

does anyone here own a Ford F-150? I'm planning on buying a 1998 next
week it has 60,000 miles, 4.6 triton v-8 just wanted to know a little
about them. I will be towing a 1997 20 javelin w/ a 200 johnson.

Hey Scott, can you feel that 18" Tracker on the back of that Ford?

Just bareley know that it is back there. When I first bought the boat I
had a terrible problem with leaving the plug in it, while I was at the
house. And I have taken many a tons of rain water towards the lake with me.
But have learned after buying more gas then needed and more wear and tear
then I needed, to pull lite.

I think he was making a joke out of the 18 inches that you put in your first
message. But... even pulling my 17' Nitro with my 2001 F-150 v6, I can
hardly tell it's there. Especially compared to that little Ranger I used to
use.

Well let's see...

I was runnin' low on gas, so I took it down to the station that was about 3
or 4 miles from the er resort. I gassed her up, paid the guy and tried to
get back to Hurricane, but it wouldn't start. Dead starter...

I called Vern's drunk ass and he and I attempted to push it away from the
pumps. In doing so, the drivers door caught on a post almost ripping it off
the hinges. I drove Vern back to his mansion on the hill and headed back to
Hurricane. I told Sean and Jerry my problem since I was driving Verns truck,
and I had to pick up Vern at 5:00 the next morning. They decided that they
would follow me back over to Verns and we'd just drop off the truck and he
could get there if he was sober enough the next morning.

If I remember correctly... we're you there when we took his truck back? If
not... you'll love the rest of the story.

Anyway, the next night, Jerry drove me into town to pick up a new starter.
The door wasn't as bad as I thought, but did have it repaired after
returning home.

I traded that thing in about three months ago for the F-150 so I could get
myself and two of my kids in it every morning on their way to school. That
was a good ole truck, and was still running strong when I traded it. Only
problem was, it didn't like pulling the boat in its' old age. Good thing I
only live about 5 miles from the ramp!
