The Behemoth...

I finally crossed over. I've been towing my boat with a car for years but no more. Found some great year end deals and took the plunge. I this think is a monster. Unbelievably big from what I'm used to. Included a fog horn! lol

And looks easy enough to work on, tons of rook in that engine compartment. I think a small family could live in there and I'd never notice!

The decals are not applied yet, I'm just playing with ideas using Photoshop. Well not exactly Photoshop, but a similar tool called Fireworks.

Abby's gonna need a booster seat :biggrin

... cp :kewl

Looks great......congrats on new ride

:cheers2

Behemoth is the right word. Looks great but how long to learn to drive??--shu

Nice looking rig.

Nice

Got a brake controller on it? No worries about it pulling a big trailer.

Yep, it does. all set to do the move - gonna have to haul a fuel truck behind it though, not gonna get used to that fuel (not) economy anytime soon.

Nice! Must be a gas burner, if there is room in engine compartment. My diesel, you could pour water on the motor and nothing would hit the ground!

You'll be glad you got the 4 door! Nice upgrade Ed.

Good looking rig. Shoulda got a oil burner!!!!:biggrin

I ain't got your kinda money otherwise I might have - lol

Dang, you have to add at least 10k to the price of entry for one of those.

Nice truck Slab.

Don't know how you made it so long without a truck being a fishing man lol S/F

Where did you buy it at. I used to work at the Chevy/Olds dealer. But that was 27 years ago. If you bought a Chevy they are the best. I have a 97 with 302 hundred thousand miles, with everything original. You did good.

Nice truck congrats

Nice congrats

Congrats on the new ride.

Yeah, looked at those too. Did not have the steep discounts like they had on the Ford. I considered a RAM too, but the salesman blew it when he tried switching trucks on me. Tried to charge me more and switch me to a year older truck. Yeah right, that was not gonna fly. Then they try to scrape you off the ceiling, well that was not gonna fly either, instead I flew.. I think everyone in the dealership heard me when I explained to the manager what the problem was. I sold BMW's for 5 years, I know their games. Found a great Ford dealer, and salesman in Mt. Dora, FL. PM me if you want specifics.

Nice ride, can't hide money! :biggrin

having driven a few of them I can tell you that they're really nice trucks, but the super duty diesel 6. whatever, I forget
what, the fuel mileage is unreal.

Nice truck man

Nice ride!

You will need to take your boat and trailer to a LARGE parking lot and PRACTICE backing the trailer up straight. It is way far different from using the car.
Side mirrors help, but the rear view mirror is useless.

See you at one of the local ramps soon.:fish

You might need that truck to haul banana plants. :Rofl:Rofl .

NICE ride....congrats!

Welcome to the big boy world.

Yes I might. I was tied up dealing with dealers all week. You know how that can be. But I should make to to Harney around noonish to see all the boats come in. We can talk then about scheduling the Banana boat run.

Ed , just head up to Martin with your new truck and boat and you can practice backing the boat and ripping lips

You got a new boat too I am calling the truck Goober Express.

I like that D.

You'll have an adjustment period but you'll like it fine. Turning radius is very different from even my truck, and that's something to remember. Good luck and many happy fishing trips with it. Hope to see you Saturday at the festivities.

I do to. Nice ride slab, you ready to roll now.

Now you just need to go buy a bigger boat too . :biggrin It's just money and you should be able to write it off on the forum .:ThumbsUp Call BRM , bet he will cut you a deal .:twocents

Nice truck and somewhere on that truck you just have to have "Head Guber" under the large Crappie.com logo.:biggrin

Very nice Slab, I am happy for you!
