I'm actually selling my '95 F350 tomorrow as I replaced it with a 2013 Super Duty. There is a simplicity with the '95 that I appreciate but I've had my days of wrenching and so long as I can afford to, I'd rather drive newer rigs.


I loved my '95 F-350. Didn't like the fuel mileage though. Good luck with your push button newer 4x4's and everything is computer controlled...


I do kinda wish I had a manual transfer case but do like having auto hubs and still the option of manual override. The new truck is gas like the old one and tows the camper much better than the old truck did and gets 16 on the highway (the old 460 got 10).



I remember those days. Ming got 12 at best. It had 3.55 gears though, so that may have helped a little... sick. Actually, the one I really miss was my old 96 cummins. Damn good/great truck but I needed an extended cab for growing family. What a mistake getting rid of it. This one got 21 mpg on the freeway:

The old '79 powerwagon behind it got 15 on the freeway, with its bullet proof 318 that I built....
