    New truck...what to get?

    If I were to get a new truck, what should I get?
    It would be a 2005 crewcab longbed. PSD, of course.


    Help me decide, please!

    Are you think of getting one if the 2006 debuts the 6.4l twin turbo???? My dad is entertaining that idea.

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

    I heard that's in 2007. But, I'm not sure.
    If they're coming out in 06, I can hold for that.

    The order form I saw shows a 6.0L engine, though (for 06)

    It is 07 for sure, but there is a "RUMOR" going around that since Ford has a delay on the 06 production, some think it is for the 6.4 to make its debut. Who knows for sure unntil it is confirmed by FMC. Either way, an 07 might be in my future. Bring on the twins!!!!!

    Since all my trucks (actually all my vehicles) have always been 4x4, I would have a hard time even trying anything else.

    Planning on towing a big 5th wheel trailer or heavy load frequently, I go with a dually.

    You can get more gadgets as options with a lariat or up trim level.

    Planning on aftermarket tires wheels, & lifts. The dually just upped those costs.


    You know the drill, get the right options for what your expect to use the truck for, or-

    Just get what you really want, heck for the reasons!
