I bought an F-350 crew cab, long box with the diesel little over a year ago. I went big knowing I was going to keep the truck 10+ years.I have a company truck for dailydriving.I head west everyother year. I now have the room and power to pull just about anything I want in regards to a hunting adventure. I looked at it as a long term investment in my love for hunting. Plus I think diesels are just plain cool!!
