Cool Ford Trucks

If I had a large trailer and towed it a long distance I’d look hard at a used F’liner /Volvo /KW /Pete sleeper cab and convert to single axle - good on fuel and 400+ pony’s , 1500ft/lbs torque makes the hills small- and no problem to find parts or service on the road. Just dreaming cause I don’t own a trailer!

And you would be able to perform all the regular maintenance and repairs on a rig like that Gerry ?

Jackie said - “Don’t encourage him Fred , enough stuff in the yard now” .

But what you suggested is becoming popular as I see similar rigs towing bigger fifth wheels every summer. But a fifth wheel interferes with Mustang time ?

 

[05 gt 5spd]

One could haul a “train”, camper and a trailer for the toys ! Honestly I much prefer the Mustang handling and driving experience.

For what those Rigs and Trailers go for plus additional fuel costs, you could spend a lot of nights in Hotels, travelling in the Mustang ?

here is one for you, this way you only need one trailer to haul car

 

[Ohtobbad]

how about this set up Gerry??

 

[Ohtobbad]

something like this for a daily would be nice.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

But when would you drive it ? I thought you worked every day ?

But when would you drive it ? I thought you worked every day ?

I do, but my guys say all I do is drive around and drink coffee. lol.
could do that in this.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

While you are driving around drinking coffee, you are ensuring that they have everything they need to get the job done well and on time ?.

All my trucks have been black, but that Velocity Blue is really nice, there was a variation on that called Lightning Blue that almost made it on to the order sheet in 2014.

Still short two cylinders though. Sorry, sorry, broken record, can't help myself. lol

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Ya, that Velocity Blue is nice.

Well I am a few years away, might be lucky to get 4 banger with turbo the way everything is going.
might have to buy a good used one.
They are getting rid of 6.2 gas and coming out with a 7.3 gas, so we will see.
the 6.2 was 420 hp and solid, likely why getting rid of, didn't break much.

 

[05 gt 5spd]

There is your answer, it didn’t break much - time to build something else new and untried, give the dealer shop some work! Don’t want Maytag men

 

[TrueBlue02058]

They make a lot more repairing,selling parts and performing maintenance than they do with the actual sale of the vehicle ??

 

[Ohtobbad]

why they got rid of the old 7.3 diesel.
only 275hp would pull all day and you couldn't break them.
people still try and buy them.

engineered to fail is how they make money, sad.
