Well I still can't really believe it, but we are now the proud owners of a 2010Ford F-350 FX4 Dually.  She is Pearl blue with a tan stripe at the bottom.  There is more options then I thought that I would ever get on a truck.  Power everything including memory buttons for the seats.  It has the SYNC system, which is a Nav system, Jukebox, Phones, and who knows what else (still learning about all it can do).  It even has a moon roof.  As for pulling a 5'ver, I don't think that is going to be a problem.  It has the 6.4L Diesel with the 4:10 rear alxle.  It is able to haul an 18,000lb fifth wheel.  I am still in awe that I am driving it. We really weren't ready to buy yet but we have been looking.  I was looking at used ones and most of them were asking almost as much for a brand new one.  I really didn't want to get an older truck because this needs to last us for years to come.  I also didn't want a 2011 with the first year motor.  So when I found this one on the dealers lot and it was marked down $12,000 I called them to make sure this was the right price and that they still had it.  Needless to say we drove it home.  This is my first ever and probably my last brand new vehicle.  I know that we will have years of joy with it. Next will be the 5th wheel.  One step at a time.  I know I have a couple of years to go yet but each step makes it that much more exciting.  We will see you all at the rally and I will be glad to show her of during the rig walk throughs.  (My 26' TT will probably look small behind her.)

P.S. I will try to post a couple of pictures on our website later today.

Feeling like kids in a candy store.

Congrats John and Terri! I've been so impressed with how well Ford has done in the past couple of years to put some real innovation and quality across their entire vehicle lineup. If I were truck shopping, it'd be my number 1 choice! Enjoy many thousands of happy miles with your new F350!

Thanks Lynne,

We have always been Ford fans.  I did look at other brands but always came back to the Fords.  I know that we will be very happy and get many good years from it.

Yeah, I still find it hard to believe that she is ours.  ( well ours and the banks).  Now all we have to do is work on the 5'ver.  We are still hooled on the Montana 3455sa.  Still no complaints with yours?  We actually have been pricing them and I found a great deal, just not sure now is the time.  Well we will wait and see.

Congratulations on your new truck.  We also are very happy with our Ford.  Now the real fun can begin as you plan for your next big step.

Yeah our next step is finding someone to buy the house and then purchase the fifth wheel.  We will be living in the area and still work for a couple of years to pay the bills and save some, but each day and each step puts us that much closer.

By the way ...... great names.

John and Terri - still no complaints. We did just have to have the front landing gear replaced. However, still under warranty. Can't complain about the response from Keystone. Only thing I wish is that the bedroom closet was deeper. But other than a few minor issues, we still love this unit. It appeas to be a big seller.

Okay guys - now, let's not confuse us. One couple is Terri and John and the other John and Terri. Alrighty then!!!!

Great truck John and Terri! I am excited for you.
