New tow rig!
Some of you have been following my search for a tow vehicle... well it's finally over!
Yesterday I picked up a 2001 Ferd F-250 Superduty! 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel 250 hp 505 ftlb 3300 rpm redline Long bed (this truck is ginormous) 4WD only 51,000 miles! The only thing wrong is that it's red. So much for blue > red... looking in my drive way, apparently 2red = blue. The only question now is whether or not I rent a U-haul trailer to go to Hawthorne or not... there's no way I can buy the trailer I want in time to leave Friday night. Two more things: first, it's weird driving a vehicle I actually fit in w/ room to spare; and second, Subaru rubber floor mats almost fit in a Ford truck if you swap driver and passenger sides and rotate one of them 180deg.

The only problem is that Ford did the super-quick clean job... it was still pretty messy inside. I had to spend a few hours last night cleaning up the interior to get it to "scott spec" clean.

Good shit dude! Glad you finally found something to your liking!
We do have a couple of really nice Titans sitting here on the lot, used, but honestly, this place wants WAY too much for them IMO!

When you're ready to make 700 lb ft of torque, and 400 HP, I know a good place, Bob's Perfomance in G'ville, they're a Banks Dealer, plus my pops is a mechanic there, so I know the work is good. And I imagine fairly resonable prices. Plus for $1500 It'd be as fast as teh Frankensuby (Although the car was built for a different purpose.)
but on a more realistic approach, the banks stuff is really designed for towing, especially with an automatic, it can make a night and day difference.
