YukonTyler Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wifey and I are expecting our first. With that news came the requisite question, "is the truck big enough?" Obviously the answer was no. We happened to be in Edmonton last weekend grabbing equipment for the farm and we drove past this unit ... 2012 F350 XLT .... DRW, 4x4, 6.2, 85 000 clicks with 15 000 km/17 month of powertrain remaining. She was a work truck but seems to have been cared for - no leaks, well washed underneath, 6 new tires, 820s installed instead of a Fram unit and an air filter that looks like it has been changed at least a couple times. Headed back down this weekend to pick her up. Very excited for this one. The crew cab is going to be great for car seats and it'll be easier to load the truck camper not having to get it exact between the bed rails - 3 inches of play on each side instead of 1/4" on each side. The beacon and the reverse alarm will have to go ASAP. I've missed having a flat deck, too. I'm yet to tear into a 6.2 past a valve cover. I hope that trend continues. The only negative is 3.73 gears ..... would have loved 4.30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saunoras Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wow that is awesome! I'm a big fan of the work truck look myself. I would have no issue daily driving a truck like that if I had a use for such a thing. I should be getting a new truck here soon also....

I'm with you on the daily driver thing, but I still don't want to fuel it. I keep a $1000 2009 Kia Rio as my daily commuter. $90/month in gasoline - I absolutely love that car.

DieselD Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 kids are a great excuse to get a new vehicle. I did the same thing. I had a 2001 F350 crew cab and a super cab raptor. Sold both and get the 2011 250 crew cab. The 2011 comfort is night and day better then my 2001. Rear AC is also a must for small kids here in az. I do miss the raptor tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
