Just a few weeks ago I managed to convince my father that he needed to replace his 1996 Ford F150 with a newer model. Not that there was anything wrong with the 96 but since he's getting a few years underneath him that it was time just to get something a bit more comfortable. So, after a bit of wrangling and dealing we picked up a 2009 F150 4x4 Platinum edition.
WOW! is the only word that I can say. Next to the GT this truck is the nicest thing on all points that Ford has built in a long time. After putting a few 100 miles on it ... it has me thinking. The Platinum is every bit as nice as a european luxury sedan in side and as capable as a 3/4 ton truck. With a 10k towing capability, why am I even considering an f250 diesel?
I know that we have covered this time and again before but lets talk about towing options, trailers etc.. and share a bit of information in real time with the new guys here.
Tow vehicle
trailer .. light vs heavy
tommy's vs trailex ... etc.
thanks guys for the future input. Until I drove this truck I KNEW I wanted a diesel ... now I'm just not sure. This F150 is a game changer! :thumbsup
