Nice truck and a good pick for the longer whee base and max tow. Those differences add up.

I would probably be in a half ton if I felt it could tow my rig properly but I have been in diesels for some time now and the modifications are addictive lol.

After a year of pulling the 387 with a SRW we decided to upgrade the tv. The 2012 was capable and reliable but the 387 is a long, heavy unit. After dropping the 387 off for warranty work we found a 2017 with the right options. Now I understand what all my DRW friends have been talking about.

Is that color called white gold? I like it very much.

I'm telling you, Ford makes a good looking truck right now.
