New Tow Rig

Now that i am pretty much done with the cobra for a little while, and i am making good progress towards getting my 89 coupe running, I started to evaluate my need for a tow rig. I had a 2004 escalade that had rolled over 166k miles, rear air shocks where blown out, and a few electric grimlins started to pop their head out so I ended up finding this 2010 F350, 6.4 powerstroke twin turbo over at Elder Ford in Tampa... After raking the sales guy, finance manager, and floor manager over the coals for a couple of hours I couldnt be happier. Its obviously missing a couple of the creature comforts the escalade had, but honestly that was the point. Alot of the electrical items like the heated seats and auto climate control had started to mess up so my big goal was to go back to as much manual controlled things as i could. It still has alot of warranty left so there will be no mods for a long while other than tint :sleeping:

youll enjoy the 6.4, egr delete and a straight exhaust with some tuning is going to be your friend when it comes to reliability and fuel mileage, river city diesel, H&s, and Spartan all make great products. its a sharp truck!!

Its not alot but so far i have added a couple of mods.... tinted the front side windows just enough to match the back for now and added a low profile, deep toolbox to be able to carry my sons baseball stuff. Still completely in love with this truck!
