Default Another "it followed me home" thread
Was time to upgrade the '99 tree fiddy to a truck that actually fits the whole family.
In the last 6 months we've gone from 1 to 3 kids.

Still have the Yukon, but now we each have a car that can move all of us that I don't have to worry about making a long trip with.

One Fiddy XLT with 3.5 Eco Boost. 365 hp / 420 lb/ft tq

Offer it to my Mom first as a farm/lake house truck. I'll miss that old pig; she's been a fantastic truck. That V10 has been rock solid.

Already have a boat. NO plans on any planes and well above my pay scale currently.
We were talking about getting a little quad or JD Gator type deal for moms house to play on. The kids would love it.
