Message: [QUOTE="JD3020, post: 1126317, member: 373"] I need something in the 350-450 range, we have 2 Cat skid steers and looking at buying a mini-ex in the 12-13k lb range soon so we are moving equipment pretty often. We also need a crew cab and a large bed so we have room for everything we need on the jobsite and still be able to hook up to a GN. As it is right now if we need a skid steer or mini on-site we have to take 2 trucks, as our main work truck is a 5 speed V10 F-350 with a flatbed/boxes. When fully loaded it is riding low, throw on our bumper pull trailer with a Vermeer LM42(4klb machine) and it becomes miserable to drive. We refuse to put a skid steer behind it. LOL FWIW we have owned a F-450, back in 07/08 we bought a 6.4 brand new and had it outfitted with an 11ft Knapheide bed. It was an extended cab, 2wd, auto, XL. That truck weighed around 13k. When the housing market tanked around 2010 dad sold the business so it got sold with under 30k miles on it. But it rode very good and actually steered as tight, if not tighter than our 2wd RCLB F-250's. Taking it off-road sucked but it did fine in snow and rain. I didn't have my license or temps at the time but i drove it a decent bit, and i loved it. Of course it may be apples to oranges comparing an 02 7.3 F-450 to an 08 6.4 F-450, other than the obvious engine difference. :shrug: [/QUOTE]
