Tow Vehicle Acquired... finally
Thanks to all of you for your advice on trucks to tow the V. Last weekend Janine and I travelled ~ 3 1/2 hours north to Grants Pass, Oregon to look at a truck I had seen on Craig's list. I drove home in a 1995 F250 7.3 liter turbo diesel 4x4 with dual gas tanks and a crew cab. It's a two-tone blue over silver with only 178,000 miles. One ding in the tailgate but otherwise in excellent shape and very clean. Set me back $6,850 which is a pretty good price around here.
I'm still looking for excuses to drive it anywhere ;) TH

You shouldn't have any problems pulling up the ramp with that.

YEP, that ill do it. You won't even know the V is back there with that. Trailer brakes? He don't need no stinkin trailer brakes. Although I'm sure he won't ever sneak up on anyone at the ramp either. My only real complaint about the 7.3L is it is pretty noisy, but they sure are reliable. Just carry a spare CPS and the tools to change it with you at all times. The CPS is the 7.3's achilles heel, but pretty minor compared to most any other engine out there.

i guess that'll be okay. Of course I'm kinda parcel to Dodge. You just can't beat a Cummins. We get it done with six compared to eight, but who's counting??
