We were really getting tired of being stuck in the house with no way to get out. This winter has been unusually bad so we bought a new truck. It isn't actually "new" but compared to the 92 Chevy it is. This one is four wheel drive and has no trouble getting up the driveway in the snow.
2010 Ford F250 Superduty XLT Supercab 4x4. It has the factory towing package with the big mirrors and electric trailer brake controls.
It has a 5.4L V8 gas engine.
The extended cab is nice. We wanted one after having no extra room inside the other truck.
More seats behind the seats.
The floor is rubber mat and is flat across the back so your rifle will lay flat. The back seats fold up so you can put some shotguns back there too.
It is much more comfortable than our old truck. Automatic transmission, CD player and Aux line-in stereo. Very modern.
The 4 wheel drive is electronic shift with auto locking hubs. The hubs have manual lock too for extreme conditions.
I hooked up the little trailer so Lisa could return Andy's 4 wheeler.
Our 4 wheeler has been at the shop for three weeks and was ready today. Lisa dropped off Andy's and picked ours up at the shop.
The haze is ice fog.
When we first got home last night I had shifted into
4x4 high and made it up the driveway easily with no slipping. I went back down to pick Lisa up over at Nelson's wide spot and played around with the transfer case shift switch. Somehow I knocked it out of 4 wheel drive even though the indicator was in the
4x4 high position. The 4x4 light on the dash was flashing and I didn't know that meant that it wasn't engaged. It slipped and slid all the way up and had to make three tries. Lisa got out and walked after the second attempt and noticed that the front wheels weren't spinning. I dug out the owner's manual (yes, I read the directions) and found out what I had done wrong. Something about putting the transmission in neutral before shifting from
4x4 low back up to
4x4 high. We have it figured out now and it works beautifully.
See the van?
It wouldn't make it much past the driveway bridge so we left it over in Nelson's wide spot. It might be there a while.

But it's a FORD, poor Chevy pickup! At least it's still white!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have your 4-wheeler back? Probably works better than dad's did!
We looked at both and this one was the one that fit the bill and was comfortable. And it IS white! I am glad to have my 4 wheeler back. Your dad's didn't like me. It started right up for Jim though. It must be a man's 4 wheeler!
