Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Deals on cars and trucks

Package deal!

Warranty could have a Dinkleberry clause, also.

Yeah there are. 9 states haven't issued stay at home orders and won't unless the federal government orders it. Then they probably won't enforce it.

The 7.3L w/ 10-speed transmission is one helluva truck!!

Do you have one? My dealer says all the local guys doing in town Trips are buying them instead of the diesel.

I went in yesterday with a serious attempt to buy a new F-150. Dealer worked via text only (dropped current F-150 off for service before opening so salesman could evaluate my potential trade)

At the end of the day, he offered me $10K below market for my trade, and only knocked $2K off the MSRP for the new truck.

I texted him back that I’d come back later for the Chapter 11 auction.

It's a beast. I can't believe how well it handles the weight. I'm pulling a heavily loaded down 36' enclosed gooseneck, a 1000 miles each way. I'm a life long, third generation Chevy/GMC guy—I still have an 07 LBZ Duramax and a 2016 LML Duramax High Country. This Ford is awesome. I won't be going back to GM.

JackMt-You should check the Fords out. There are a few annoying dings and dongs, and the fücking lights—every fücking light on the truck, turns on every time you open the door. I need to get a PC laptop and FORSCAN and tweak theses settings. The truck pulls and brakes like a beast. I'm more than halfway through the factory Goodyears.

I had a little snafu in a flash blizzard near Syracuse, NY. A car lost control, spinning across both lanes from guard rail to guard rail. It ricocheted off the left guard rail to start spinning back across the lanes. I moved over to about 2 feet off the right hand guard rail. I was pulling a full load. The guy was coming right at me, but there was nothing I could do. This was all at 45-50MPH. He hit me in front of the left front tire. It was nearly head on. I was sure he was going to knock me into the guard rail. He then spun and hit me in the rear wheel and bedside/fender on the same side. In the mirror I say him bounce across the interstate, guard rail to guard rail two more times. The truck suffered $7K in damage that I've yet to get fixed. It's all cosmetic and very minor given the circumstances. The aluminum bodies are rugged.

These Fords are for real.

My 2019 F350 Diesel gets 14.5mpg around town and on short highway trips.

Pulling a 36' Enclosed gooseneck at max cap. I average 11.2 doing 68-70 mph.

Diesel fuel is more expensive and the option is another ~$10K out of the gate. For what I'm doing, I've got 5 big trailers, I like the diesel. I can see how the big gasser will be very popular.

Ah.. missed that. That'll have some serious grunt especially with 10 speeds to work with...

Buddy bought a f550 crew, 6.7L, 4x4 with 11' utility bed. It has me thinking. I drove a 2019 Ford last Dec. Looking for a tax break but just couldn't do it. My only Ford was a 1988 f250 when I was 20yo. 5sp manual and 302, both shot at just over 100,000. Been GM products ever since. Hard habit to break.

If Toyota would just bring a Tundra 2500/3500 to market.....dually crew preferably. Id never look back.

I believe the gasser trend is what provoked the 7.3 gas option. It doesn’t always pencil out like you say for certain fleets/small business owners.

The F350 with a 6.7 is an awesome combo. We've had no major issues with the engine or 'old' six speed transmission.


Dump the emissions and they rip.....



But under warranty leave as is.

I doubt it. The factories are shut down and the automakers are waiting on their bailouts while they make a bunch of ventilators.

Anybody running a new GM 6.6 gasser? Can't believe the idiots ditched the proven 6.0. I rate it up there with the 350 for sentimental attachment.

That’s badass Sam!!!

Be a great feed truck! But I could never bring myself to buy another single cab. 🤠

What doesn’t pencil out like what?

All the emissions shït made these diesels expensive to build, buy, warranty, service and maintain. The emissions shït also undermined fuel efficiency. My tuned and deleted 07 LBZ is a monster and gets 23 around town if you don’t spin the wheels.

I don’t think there’s any support for this after the big EPA crack down last year. PM me details if I’m wrong—I’d love to be wrong.

Deals were much better in March. Now dealers have less inventory and most are closed. Those that are open have to make more money on each unit since they aren't selling as many. I visit a couple different car and truck forums and there are a lot of unhappy people thinking they would snag the bargain of the century this month and it aint gonna happen.

Yes, the Antarctic.

If this schitt show lasts another month or two, that will change and there will be deals to be had.

Im agreeing with you that the gas engine will be popular. Not everybody can afford or need the diesel.
