Sweet, ridin in style. I like how you went with the 6.5 ft bed instead of those tiny ones.

The f-150 never came with a diesel, ford was suppose to come out with one but scrapped that idea. Why, i don't know.

I as well am a fan of ford, but we had a super duty 6.0l diesel with bad results. It may have been due to the car lot we bought it from had a dealership rig it up so they could sell it. We loved the truck but within two months of buying it had catastrophic internal engine problems, a thousand miles from home at 1 am no less. Four thousand dollars and two weeks later we got to go home. Then the turbo, then the egr cooler. Well we fought with the car lot for a while but ended up trading it in on a new chevy gas engine 1-ton. These days its best to stay away from diesel trucks.

The only reason I'm not a huge fan of the diesel Fords.. is because I have had to make trips with our gas Dodge 1500 to pick up horses that were stranded on the side of the road after the truck that was hauling them had issues.. that and all the diesel Fords we have on base, always seem to have issues.. so I think I'll just stick with my Dodges.. and hopefully one day I'll pick up my 1st or 2nd Gen CTD 2500/3500..

My dream truck would be a F-250 Supercrew 4x4 with a Turbo Cummins (5.9L) and an Allison tranny. That would be the bomb! I've got a Dodge Ram 2500 crew cab w/ Cummins 4x4 now, the only thing I like about it is the engine.

(on edit): Yes I know they don't make a Ford w/ Cummins and Allison.

^^ That 5.9 / Allison combo would be indestructible. Would love a 05-06 superduty with it.

Nice truck and a nicer half XJ that behinds it
(I guess the other half of it is great too, but we do not see it :) )
Good luck with the new job.

My next ride will probably be a passenger van. I'm hoping to find an E250/350, so I can use it as a tow rig too.
