Having worked out of this or that old truck that I could afford at the time, I have finally saved enough to invest in a new heavy-duty vehicle. Now that I can have whatever I want (practically) I’m not sure what’s best. I definetly want a diesel, and am somewhat partial to a Ford. A crew cab is a must, but I’m not sure how BIG of a truck to get. I could foresee needing enough power to tow a small tractor or Backhoe, but the F-350 seems huge, and I don’t want to over-do it. Also, I’d like to get a nice rig on the bed for storing tools and transporting material, ladders etc. I know the standard, but was wondering if anyone had any special suggestions. I’m about to put down a chunk of change and I want to be sure I’ve gotten the most for my money. Any advice is welcome.
