I would probably have bought an F250 diesel last time around, except for the wimpy 26 gal. tank available in the model I wanted. Local dealer offered to install an aftermarket gravity feed tank in the bed of a new truck, further reducing available cargo capacity- a non-starter for me. That, and the fact that the sheet metal at the top of the box on my last Ford tore in two, due to frame flex during a long, rocky climb on a mountain lion hunt.....

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
