[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3431415, member: 5412"] Thanks! The fridge is 18 cubic feet with icemaker. Don't need nor want a dually. Hate those things. It's a heavy rig at over 13000 lbs dry weight. The new 7.3 liter gas engine in that F-250 puts out 430 HP with 480 foot pounds of torque. Yeah, its not a diesel, but I didn't want a diesel either. It pulled the rig home just fine over 100 miles today in cruise control. Maintained the 70mph speed limit all the way. That 10 speed auto transmission is amazing. The thing that convinced me to not go diesel is that in Colorado this summer, two diesel truck owners had major issues with their engines. Only one mechanic in the entire San Juan valley that will work on them and he only does it on weekends. One guy tossed in the towel, went to a dealer and bought a new truck. Took a beating on it, and the other spent an extra month there while his truck was being repaired. The truck has been on order since early June. It finally got here three weeks ago. [/QUOTE]
