Hello all,

I recently sold my 1996 F250 7.3L 4X4 after 400,000 miles. Moved to a Tacoma to help facilitate city parking, but it has proved too small. I'm joining the forum to aid my quest in acquiring a current gen f150. It appears to be the truck for my needs, but I'll still take all the help I can get finding it, buying it and owning it. Fords have been in my family for my entire life and all of them have served us very well, I am looking forward to my first 21st Century Ford.

My '96 F250


My Tacoma

 

Welcome to the forum !
Nice F-250, most that yr. are all rusty up here in Mich.
What are you looking at?
Screws or scabs ?
and what eng. ?

 

Oh man, that's a beautiful OBS! hope it found a good home. Dad just sold our 96 7.3 over the summer.

yeah, share some requirements. what was the taco short on you're looking for? thanks and welcome!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome to the forum boatdriver! Hope you're able to find what you're looking for with this current gen!

 

Thanks for the kind words! The Taco has been a good little truck, but it's become clear I need something with a larger cab and better safety ratings/features for the family. It was a big change going from an 8' bed to a 5.5', but I've acquired a trailer and learned to be creative with tow straps, and the increased maneuverability is a definite plus in town. But I do miss the towing capacity of the 7.3L. With all of that in mind I test drove a 2018 3.5L, screw, 5.5 bed and I think that might be the truck for me.
