Just started thinking about a new truck.
Off the bat, I work for Ford, so it's gonna be a Ford.
Pull the usual small farm stuff, 16ft cattle trailer, hay wagons, etc.
The one that worries me is fertilizer buggies...4 tons of fertilizer plus the buggy. seems like a lot of weight on the tongue. Not like I haul a bunch of them, but I prefer not to wait on the dealer to deliver.
Use an F350 now, was wondering if I really needed a heavy truck. My old half ton seemed squirrely with a heavy (to me) load behind it, wondered if the new ones with the tow package were better.
Was thinking F150, 5.0, regular cab, 8ft bed, tow package. Might be a rare bird, seems like everybody wants supercabs now.
Anybody got one and use it like I'm talking about?
Thanks
Fred
