Well, my dream truck finally came in at my Local Dealer. They called me right when they took it in on trade before they even got it ready to sell.

Its a 2000 Copper Metallic F250 Extended Cab 4X4 with the 7.3L Diesel and auto tranny. Best part, it only has 68,000 miles on it.

Can't wait to hook up my 4000lb boat to it. The dealer said that I am probably going to need to buy a bigger boat. They think the truck is going to pull the trailer right out from under the boat :D

Congrats.
Time to retire the Bronco huh?
I don't think you will have any issues towing your boat for sure ;)

Excellent find. Extended cabs are hard to find, (esp. with the 6sp manual). Took me over a year to find my F450 with that config.. You're towing for real now...have fun setting it up...

Nice. Got a pic of it yet?

And they're right. You will need a bigger boat now!
