New tow vehicle

[Sportsdad60]

Our new rigs in the drive way at home, not hooked up yet though. Waiting on the hitch. I don't have the trailer in Full Hook Up area to the right as the truck camper is there now. Soon I'll back it in.
F350 4x4 DRW Lariat package.

The F350 SRW 2x4 7.3L is now on limited duty, Truck camper and boat for the quick fish trips around our state.

If that picture was taken at your home why would you ever want to go camping anywhere??

Thank you.
We always say that when we return home from our winter quarters in South Texas. "Home again at our campsite/house in MT!"

Haha nice, it is beautiful. Just wait until you're hooked up and running down the interstate at under 2000 rpms and a semi blows by at 80 and you don't even feel it. I love climbing a long hill (not too big I'm in Texas after all ) and it doesn't even downshift. Boost gauge goes up and up you go in 10th gear. Torque is addicting lol!!

I agree with the others, that is an AWESOME truck!!! I wish you the best of luck with it!

Okay.....so where was that picture taken? That is an incredible view!

Our home on Flathead Lake, MT. 1 1/2 hours from Glacier National park.
That is Wild Horse Island in the background.(We take our boat over and hike the peaks weekly during summer)
You would hate me if I displayed pictures of the garage with a 10k lb BendPak lift.

One last couple of photos.

Image 1: The old girl (2000 F350 SRW 2WD 7.3L just broke in with 115K miles) is delegated to Truck Camper duty. Retired if you will.
Washed, waxed. Put to bed until June.

Image 2: The new girl just got a full exterior detail (Wash, clay bar, rinse, dried, and polymer wax job) and she's ready for this summer pulling the new GK.

Sportsdad,

Great truck (friend just took delivery of the rapid red twin to yours). I on the other hand just ordered a Ram 3500 DRW Longhorn. I've driven the Cummins for too many years, and the powerstroke just feels foreign to me. I've put the horse before the cart, and we have yet to pick out the 5'er. At the moment it is either the GD 390RK, or the Beacon with the basic same floor plan. Base camp on the Oregon coast(work in progress) for the summers, winter south. Montana looks awesome, be safe.

Sorry for the post bump, but....

We just towed our new 2021 Ford F350 DRW with the Solitude 310GK-R 40 miles to the GD sanctioned RV repair place for minor warranty work with our new B&W Companion hitch.

OMG, I never knew the trailer was back there for about 10 min and caught myself doing 70 MPH. That kinda scared me because I'm typically tow at 60 mPH.

We were on Hwy 93, for those that know "The Valley" along Flathead lake. While going down hills I could hear and feel the exhaust brake kick in.

We can't wait for our May trip to CO for our son's college graduation. Wife has been logging a lot of hours in the new truck too so she can give me some relief towing! 700 miles now in 9 day.
