I didn't even factor in once you own the horse you have to transport it to shows. Ugh, maybe it will be just a phase and he will outgrow it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hansenadkins.com/" rel="nofollow">Jackson Kaufman @ Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport</a>Jackson Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478236123961644244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-58985097834755509372014-10-31T17:08:52.533-04:002014-10-31T17:08:52.533-04:00Our horses are at home so having a rig is a requir...Our horses are at home so having a rig is a requirement. I used to have the same truck... F350 7.3. That was an amazing truck and I loved it so much. Transmission lasted till 205K miles and we replaced it, but then we had random stuff start to break and since it was more than 15 years old, could no longer get the parts except from the junkyard. Sadly, no mechanic on hand here and it became cost prohibitive to maintain it. I now have a 2011 6.7 F350 and while I can't say I've had it long enough to REALLY compare, I do love the new engine. SO much power and acceleration, better mileage, and a smoother tow. Time will tell if it's going to last like the 7.3s, but one can hope. I had the other one for 15 years and I'd be thrilled to get 15 out of this one!<br /><br />I do use mine to commute, but it's only 5 miles each way so it's not so bad. Cheaper than a second vehicle, for sure. Parking it at the grocery store sure is a pain in the a$$, though!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-78721192138514894712014-10-29T20:39:57.066-04:002014-10-29T20:39:57.066-04:00That's funny, that's how long

The security in knowing I could get my horses out and go for whatever reason is really nice. And I'm with you, only use the truck for hauling or hay and have a commuter car for work.outofasheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117319496884845767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-81034083963347807742014-10-28T15:01:17.579-04:002014-10-28T15:01:17.579-04:00This post has been in the works for a couple weeks...This post has been in the works for a couple weeks.
