I'll take a V8 over the turbo six. The V8 gets better fuel mileage than my Toyota Tacoma and can tow a house. Nice thing about the Toyota is it has great resale value. My '02 with 85K miles has a value close to $17K if not more and people will be lining up for it. </div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div aria-label="Compose body">Dave</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;" data-mce-style="color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Bob Kramer" <rkramer3@austin.rr.com><br><b>To: </b>"davehogye" <dlhogye@comcast.net><br><b>Cc: </b>"Jeff Snook" <jeffsnook01@gmail.com>, "Friends of Triumph" <fot@autox.team.net><br><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, July 26, 2015 8:21:07 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Fot] Towing (New F-150)<br><div><br></div><div>Somebody has said elsewhere that turbo life is expected to be in the 80k range, and it will be an expensive maintenance item.<br><div><br></div>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jul 25, 2015, at 4:36 PM, davehogye <<a href="mailto:dlhogye@comcast.net" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:dlhogye@comcast.net">dlhogye@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br><div><br></div></div><blockquote><div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"><div>The new aluminum truck is said to weigh 700lbs. less than the last steel version.
