Congrats! I, too, am a Truck Guy. My last 7 vehicles have been trucks that I purchased new. I trade about every 3 to 4 years. Aside from what I can carry, I love being elevated a little so that I can see traffic ahead and avoid potential accidents. Current vehicle is a 2019 purchased 10/2018 and only 10,000 miles on it so far.
ENJOY your truck and have fun!!!!!

Wow I guess that's all you have left to own you should get one
My middle son would prefer I have a Chevy, my eldest and youngest would not care what I bought, and my wife would not really want me getting one.
I should add, I’ve never owned a convertible, a true sports car or a muscle car either so should I get one of each? Before, after or along with a truck?
I have a 1997 F150 4x4 with 241,000 miles. Still going strong. Because of gas mileage, it is no longer my daily driver. I still take it on expeditions when I need the ground clearance
Nice truck. I have a gas 2014 250 crew cab with 120,000 on it and love it. It is currently hooked to a 5-horse trailer that it pulls like a dream when it is loaded. No need whatsover for a diesel Get 17 mpg at
70 MPH when not pulling the trailer. The last one (2005) just like it was still going good when is sold it for $10,000 with 325,000 on that gas engine. The only thing I ever did was change the oil over 5,000, put now shocks and brakes and tires and the other regular maintenance (battery, etc.).
My wife has a 2017 F150 crew cab and she loves it. And it is really good on the gas, too.

Can't beat an F150!
True statement thank you phlash46
Great looking truck. Miss our 1992 F-250 4X4 which we had for 18 years. Was totaled a couple of years ago. GAS attack last month started us looking for a new p/u. Thought we might buy a new truck on the mainland and then tour the country and take plenty of photos then have it shipped here to Maui. We have decided to just buy here and RAC while on the mainland next year. Congratulations, great color on your new vehicle.

I've had a truck for as long as I can remember and then bought a car, after 5 years of driving a car I just had to go back to a truck so this is what I bought today.
My son has the same model in dark gray.
Watch your speed, the police seem to look more at red vehicles.
I have a lot of respect for the Combat engineer's tho I started out as Infantry.
