We are happy with our truck. Will go for the quad cab next time, though, for family comfort-we were in a mini van. LOL !. Awesome truck

Apologies in advance for lengthy backdrop. There might be a point.... Before purchasing a 36ft travel trailer several years back, I had a F150 Harley 4.6. It was beautiful truck. Impeccable interior, down to the accent lighting, air-conditioned seats with trademarked dye with Harley monograms. The retractable running boards were a nice touch when they worked. And when they didn't the result was laughable. There was nothing quick, or powerful about that 4.6L. And the Harley AWD edition only had a GWVR of ~5.5k so it had to go when I got the trailer. We also had an AWD Volvo 400hp XC90 at the time which put the ford to shame in terms of power and handling but nowhere near that tow capacity. I eventually upgraded to the F250 Powerstroke KingRanch which was rated for 14,000 and would tow my 10k trailer up any hill I could find. But, even with stock suspension and proper weight distribution, the back end sagged noticeably and caused people to flash their high beams angrily in retaliation for my low beams assuming high beam vectors... Still, it towed cross-country w/o issue until I discovered that SuperDuty trucks exceed the hight restrictions of many Pacific North West urban parking garages (Including my own residence and place of work) . So I sold the F250 and recently bought my first 1500 Hemi. It fits in the garages and I'm happy. It also has that same aggressive power and handling as the xc90 while towing my weight class and NOT blinding oncoming traffic. This 1500 Hemi 4x4 with 5k miles was 1/2 the price of Powerstrokes with 40,000 miles or more. I did have to travel 3 states away to get a decent deal, and decided to pass on the higher end trim package while keeping all the tow essentials. So far I don't miss anything and will have much less to cry about when the Hemi begins to accumulate typical "cramped garage" cosmetic wear and tear that has worst impact on for trucks with higher end packages.
