Meet Doug!! our F350

Our Awesome F350 Baby!!!

We did it!! We bought a truck to pull the 5th wheel that we don't have yet!!!  We are so excited!!!

So here is the story about Doug::::

After all my research on trucks, I wanted a GMC or a Dodge.  Scotty came home with a Ford.  Honestly people, I was a little mad.  I've heard so many bad things about Ford.  Like Found On Road Dead.  hahahaha  I did hear that the 6.7L engine was a good one so I am ok with that.  But I really don't know much about the transmission.  I know that the Allison  transmission is great but I really don't know much about the one that is in Doug.  In fact, I don't even know what kind of transmission Doug has.  Anyways, It's all good. I was mad at Scotty about getting a Ford until I started driving it.  Man, this huge mother truck is so fun to drive.  It is a dully, 4 X 4, diesel and all the good stuff.  I do see lots of YouTubers use this truck to pull their 5th wheel so I guess that's good enough for me.  Graham named him Doug.  I thought that was a perfect name because it sounds like a cowboy name.  

When we drive it Pepper says to the other cars, " Hi tiny cars.  We are going to eat you"!! hahaha.  We feel so big and huge in this baby.  I am totally comfortable driving it. I've learned how to park it and I think I'm ready to add the 5th wheel.  We are getting super close to buying the 5th wheel. The timing just isn't right yet.  

We are starting to try to rent our house out.  We haven't listed it yet but have interest in the house.  Hopefully soon we'll find a renter and get the 5th wheel because we only have 4 months to get out of here.  Its hitting all of us now how close our trip is.  Sometimes we are sad because we will miss all our people here. But we are also excited to go play together.  Peace out!!!!

*****Up Date!!!  So I did a little more research on my Doug.  Our transmission is built by the same people who build Allison transmissions. So my transmission is an Allison transmission but they aren't aloud to call it that.  That makes me fee so much better.
