What Trucks are For


Being able to slip on a trailer hitch and move stuff. Not just stuff that fits in the trunk. Moving more stuff than can fit even in the bed of a truck, but a large trailer. I learned something- I now know why people buy larger engines and F250 or F350. POWER. I did not really need more power with my F150 and this trailer filled to its capacity. There are not many hills in Eastern North Carolina. However, if I needed to pull that loaded trailer to the Mountains, this would smaller V8 would have been under powered. Day in and day out, I really have not use for anything more powerful. Bottom line, I picked the right configuration of power and seating capacity.
