SWEET RIDE!!! Love the color!

We traded in our 2010 Mustang convertible for the 2013 F150. Boy do we miss it and having the top down.

But a GT on the insurance was going to kill us with our 16yo getting her license.

So no Mustangs until she can pay for her own insurance

Nice car. Always been a Mustang fan and have had a few. I bought my last new one in 1990...a 5.O LX Notchback. I still have it. It's got 42K miles on it. It'a all original except for the tires and spark plugs.

The 5.0 LX has got to be one of the greatest sleepers of all time!

Our insurance was only $16 more a year than the truck, so we did alright. At our age, insurance is pretty reasonable, but I can't imagine what an insurance company would do to us with a new driver having access to this GT!

I've read on here for years how good the folks here think their 5.0 sounds in a truck......if it sounds even 1/2 as good as this GT, then I now understand completely!

Well....these days when I see those gorgeous as* 5.0's running around, I always say..... a would have one if it could pull my TT-lol
But seriously - Nice Stang!
It is a lot of work setting up a TT and or 5th wheel at a campground...than breaking it all down etc.. The wife and I aren't burnt out yet, in fact were looking to move up in trailer size....and amenities.
But if your gonna get rid of your camper and truck....you made an excellent choice, love your new ride!

The sewer hose has to be my favorite thing about camping...you know? I don't mind setting up when the temperature is in the upper 80's or so.........but upper 90's and the lower 100's is hard on an old guy!
We've got a total of probably 30,000 miles towing over the last 4 and 1/2 years. One trip was over 10,000 miles and 100 days all around the U.S., so we've done our share of camping!
