At one time I owned 6 Ford F-150's,they pulled landscape trailers and
equipment fine for the first 75-80,000 miles,then went belly up and I had a mechanic on staff for maintenance.I replaced them with GMC trucks with the Vortec and man what a difference. All my Fords were '96 models but I hear the newer ones are a lot better.I sure like the way they look. "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

I dunno Warren, I own three Chevy trucks for my business. They are good
trucks, but the main reason I went with Chevy trucks had nothing to do with quality or features. I have owned an F-250 and an F-150 in the past. They were great trucks too. I currently still have a 1965 F-250 as a yard truck. It sits for long periods, and always starts up when we need to move equipmebt around in the yard. The main reason I went with Chevy was because of front end help on sales. I walked in and said, "I need a truck for my business." The first one I had a good deal on and drove it off the lot before they even had the paperwork ready. The next two trucks were the same way. Although my family owns a lot of GM stock, and my father in law is a retired GM principal exec, I would buy a Ford ina minute if I had gotten the same quality no nonsense service and a good price on the truck. It was the sales people and the commercial sales manager that made the difference for me. -- Spinner Baits Tips & Tricks Contest featuring Secret Weapon Lures in December ** Public Fishing and Boating Forums ** www.YumaBassMan.com "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

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.

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. "go-bassn" wrote in message ...
