Oh I'm not saying ford is better then everything else that's for sure just pointing out the few problems he had with his. It was a very impressive truck as it would pull his 18.5 foot boat out of the water in 4 lo without even touching the throttle. It would also pull my truck in half! Lol. I loved his diesel but when he rolled it he went back to gas. He was tired of things like 11 or how ever many quarts it holds oil changes and the way more expensive parts! But he also wheeled it hard even caught air with it a few times. Don't get me wrong I love your new truck! Super jealous! Lol and love the flat black and big flares. What size tires are on that rig? Again congrats on the upgrade!
Indeed, oil changes every 5000km will suck, haha. The price of owning a diesel I guess. It came to me at a really good price, so I couldn't pass it up, it was my buddies and he just upgraded to a brand-new F650.
I like her too. She's rolling on 40s right now, thinking about taking her down to 35s and dropping her 3". It has 6" suspension and 3" body on her presently, so putting my tools in the back are a little difficult since I'm 5'4, and a carpenter. I hate ruining a good thing though, so maybe I'll just go 38s. : )

Yup, GMC. And, it's a three-quarter ton truck with a 6.6L diesel engine, so parts are definitely more expensive. And, my family has everything from Powerstrokes, Cummins, and Duramax's to gas GMC's and F150's, trucks these days are all extremely comparable, and if you truly believe Fords run better than every other truck on the road, you're pretty naive. Every truck has its pro, and cons. : )
