Welcome from Polk County NC! Even though it looks like you might not be coming back! Lol

Thank you! Nice truck, love the red. 08, 250 stock it says... looks about like the way I wanna start from what I've read so far. I like the body style. & fyi, I'm not going anywhere! I've been thru alot worse in my time than dealing with guys who are clearly unhappy in thier home lives that feel the need to either a) bully the "new girl" or b) rather live an online fantasy life because either they don't have a real woman or don't appreciate the one they do have. (I've been in the shoes of the later, not fun) I'll learn to weed them out! Those that are just looking at the pic won't stick with me long anyways! Just saying...

Welcome from WI. What are the purpose's of the truck? Fun, pulling trailer, drag racing or just a dd.

Everyday use... I have a kid... so practical, but I don't want to look like a mom mobile... Not the minivan type! Lol

 

[deiseldiva]

Bet that one weeded alot out! It sure does in real life! Lol

How long, two or three years?

So you need a diesel pick up to haul a kid around? How much do diaper bags weigh these days?

 

[lincolnlocker]

wow. I didn't even get a response from my last post.. lol..

kids are fun. I like getting them all riled up and giving them back to their parents..

You would be ahead of the game if you search for a truck that's already been tuned, deleted, and bullet proofed. If you decide to get a 6.4 truck make sure to research thoroughly as you don't want to end up stranded and sitting in front of large repair bills.

Dude, I've been out of high school a long time! You might think it screams high school punk... but to me it screams fu when someone is riding my tail! Call it road rage I guess, but I hate that chit!

Not a dude, and just meant it as friendly advice for someone starting out. I love the diesel performance industry and have been involved the better part of the last 10 years. I see a lot of people come in with that mentality and just try to help you out so we can preserve diesel performance for everyone.

If you're set on a diesel, go crew cab or excursion. Extended cab with car seats or other kid stuff get small quick. I have all 3 setups and 2 kids so that's my experience talking.

that is for dam sure.. ..

you are a girl?

Sorry to disappoint, but yep, I must have forgotten my 'hi I'm the no-so-new girl around here' post. LOL

...and now someone is cringing realizing they've read advice I've posted and actually agreed with it...

I'll be honest, these things are expensive so if you don't really NEED a diesel a crew cab Ecoboost F-150 would be an awesome daily driver. Plenty of power (especially with mods) and decent fuel mileage.

If you're stuck on a diesel though first we need to know about what kind of budget you have for truck price. That will narrow you down to which engine you need to learn about.

All day every day, I must have forgotten my 'hi I'm the no-so-new girl around here' post. LOL

Thought it would help everyone understand when I ask dummy questions that I am a woman not a 15 year old douche wanna be! Guess I have more to learn than just trucks!

I was just giving the new guy a hard time. Welcome to the playground.

Lol I didn't even notice that till you pointed it out. English can be stupid sometimes

 

[TyCorr]

I noticed. Actually its not English. Its Deutsche spelling of someones name.

I thought maybe she was from an island.

So 31ish, yeah I would say you are out of the girl territoryLOL

I have a kid and a crew cab as well as an extended cab. If you are set on a truck, definitely go crew cab and don't lift it. Shuffling kids in and out of a lifted truck sucks.

That's hilarious. But at the same time it's sadly true.

Disagree on the lift, all of mine are lifted... 4-6" and on 35s and 37s, depending on the truck. Granted, I'm tallish, but it's never been an issue for me.

 

[dfauerbach]

I would have to agree with a few of the guys or gals posts and ask what is the budget here before sniffing each others rear ends for another 8 pages lol

How's it spelt
