Unless I see a great deal on a long nose Pete with 600+ hp, 1850+ tq, dual 6" stove pipe exhausts, & an auto-shift at a great price, then I might be tempted. :ymdevil:
I think I'm done going after another truck. It'll be paid for before I retire, has the power and towing capacity to haul the largest trailer, so the 'Bird isn't overworking it and it gets decent MPG. So, we're looking forward to some long trips in the future. :thumbrt:

Well, why don't you continue on and join us at Branson, instead of going out and going home BEFORE you head for Moab???

I am camping in Sandy Oregon, they have a dealer that sells both new Ford and GM trucks in two side by side buildings.
They have over 21 new F350 Ford diesels in all models and every new F 350 Ford truck has $10,000 off the sticker price.
I would think that may be a good reason Ford is out selling GM, at $10,000 off they just about giving them away.

That sounds about right with the 2013s coming out shortly. I bought mine in September last year and the dealers up here were giving $10,000 off sticker and other incentives.

I've seen the same here in SoCal. Inventory reduction, getting cash so the the dealer can order the new models. Pretty common towards the end of a model year.

I was told this weekend that the resaon why so many Fords are sold is because they are always breaking down and their owners just go out and buy another =))
