My neighbor started 3 weeks ago as a salesman for the local Ford Dealer ... so he pulls in one evening last week and says let me sell you a new truck ... Naw ... I don't need a new truck!!

First mistake ... I drove it, second mistake the rascal went behind my back and talked to the wife ... third mistake I got thinking a new truck would be nice, heck I work hard, heck I deserve some of the finer things in life .... so I thought sure doesn't cost anything to look ... YA RIGHT ... once I got the fever I couldn't break it.

2012 F-250 4x4 Crew Cab
6.2L EFI V-8
6 Speed Auto
Lariat

I let the 04' Dodge 4x4 Dually go ... I convinced myself that the upfront cost for the diesel Engine and the fact that diesel is more per gallon I would go gas ... takes alot of driving to pay for that engine...and 2 less tires to replace.

Sure is a dandy ... nice ride. And yes I need to learn how to set my camera date !!! Looks like I was the only one in 2004 to buy a 2012 !!

Nice truck... although my wife would say that's an oxymoron.
In spite of being born a country girl and almost always living in the country, she thinks of trucks only as work vehicles and, therefore should not and can not be called NICE.

Thanks ... I can see where she's coming from.

That is a very nice truck and though I have absolutely no need for a new truck, I know better than to even look at one or I will wind up just like you; not a bad thing mind you, congratulations on your new machine.:thumbsup:

Dodge diesel for a Ford??? Come on man... I hope you got one heck of deal.

In all seriousness though, congrats! I too have been contemplating a new (well used) truck in my 2 year plan, but I try to avoid the blue ovals.
