Re: A first look at the 2012 Super Duty
Mine's a full size XLT. Had the engine rebuilt at 300,000 miles. Everything else is OEM, except the stereo. Used to haul my TT's with it, up to 24'.

Hey Jeff,
Just hang onto that Bronco until you retire and then move it to Nevada or wherever you're going to retire to.

My thought also. It's a heck of a station wagon.BMullins46 wrote:Hey Jeff,

Re: A first look at the 2012 Super Duty
Rob, it is only money
Anything can happen tomorrow and we may not be able to drive and make big trips so if you want a new rig go buy one.
Life is too short, I had to go to the emergency room last month while in Houston for Kidney Stone attack, I never did have one before and I thought I was going to die that night.
Well to make a long story short 5 hours in the emergency room and some high tech test the hospital had no problem charging me $16,890 and $3,600 for the doctor.
So if I want another new truck next year it is only the cost of a 15 hour emergency room stay and I will enjoy the truck more.

Re: A first look at the 2012 Super Duty
I am with you George, I never thought what happened to me was going to happen. So if you want a new truck or what ever, go get it. You can't take it with you .
Re: A first look at the 2012 Super Duty
George and Torben, I know you're absolutely right as I've gone through that same reasoning many time and if I get a new truck it will be for that reason.Olbird wrote:Rob, it is only money![]()

Re: A first look at the 2012 Super Duty
George, sorry to hear about your trip to the ER. Kidney stones are no fun.
Right now I'm waiting for the soap opera in Washington DC to run it's course. The suckers are playing with my Military Retirement check.
