King Ranch

As a woman, this aspect isn't too exciting for me...but I know that some of you may be interested! So, this post will showcase our new Ford F-250 King Ranch truck. It's a MONSTER!!

And as you probably guessed, it just barely fits in our garage!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Chris' truck (the Ford F-150) was capable of towing a pull-behind trailer -- but a very, very small one. Unfortunately, nothing the size we were needing! So, we discussed it and determined that it was a necessary expense that we would need to take on -- because we don't just want to park the RV. We want to be able to travel with it, too!

Old Truck - Ford F-150

New Truck - Ford F-250

Above in the two comparison photos, you can see the difference in the trucks...the top one is your common, run-of-the-mill truck...the bottom photo is a giant! Just riding in it, you can feel the difference in the power. It feels like we could pull three RVs!

We had to have a 5th wheel hitch installed in the bed of the truck, for pulling the trailer...and we also had them spray in a bed liner, too! Now it is all set up and ready!

It's a Monster!

We've never had a diesel vehicle before, so we will be learning all about that. We will also be learning about pulling a 39 foot trailer, and backing it up! Lots of learning in our future, but we are excited for it all!
