So I will be selling my 78 Datsun and 67 Mustang within the next few months.
That means another truck will be replacing them soon after!
So i'll get to the point now! Lol
Main Focuses and Needs with new truck
1. Another IDI that will be used strictly for towing and traveling, some light and some heavy. Car hauler with vehicle from time to time. Camper, boat, toys etc..
2. Comfort and space is a must as my fiancé and I have two labs that will be traveling with us while we vacaying which is usually once or twice a year depending on work and family.
3. Fuel mileage!!! Since we will be traveling cross country on our most of trips this a must!
4. Reliability! Power! This is obvious to most as this is something we most always look for when dropping a lot of cash into something we are going to be using for hauling and long travel times!
5. The budget for this truck will be pretty steep as it will both of us contributing on this one.
6. Would really like to get a close as I can to the best starting platform (year, model, SRW or DRW, etc..) with my goals in my mind.
7. Many parts and add-ons will be installed throughout.
8. 6.9 Turbo or 7.3 Turbo?
9. Transmission?
10. Motor will be studded and cammed for sure!
I'm looking for feedback from you guys based on your experiences and personal endeavors with towing rigs and the does and don't. Part recommendations, must haves, things that have worked best for you and have a good rep for what I'm looking for. Just some genuine communication and idea tossing if you've got the time!
I'm very eager to learn and will have a full build thread on this truck!
Thanks everyone!
P.S.
I apologize if this was the wrong place to post this...
