I've been borrowing my wife's daily-driver SUV for years, whenever I needed to tow to the track or haul parts, etc. That got to be a pain for both of us, plus there was just recently an..."incident"...with my Audi one weekend when we'd swapped cars.
Right after that, I noticed a recently retired guy in my neighborhood had a 2001 F150 Supercrew 4x4 5.4L with Lariat trim, shell, bed liner, tow package, original owner, dealer-serviced, and priced below blue book. It seemed ideal for my current needs and is cheap and "used" enough that I won't have to worry about thrashing it. I currently have a steel 16' open trailer but it should have no problem towing a modest enclosed trailer if I ever go that route.  |
