Hi all!
We are very new to all of this but we planning to full time in our 2009 International 25FB (GVWR 7300), at least for the next year. Hopefully we love it and will go longer :D
We have our AS but we're still without a TV (see, I'm even learning the lingo).
I've narrowed it down to a Ford F-150, 3.5L Ecoboost with Max Tow. We need a crew cab and want the short bed. We also need the truck to be 5500 lbs or under so we don't have to register as a commercial vehicle (we're in NY).
We really don't want to buy a brand new truck, so we're looking in the 2011-2013 range but I'm having a hard time finding all of the features we want in a used truck. So my question is, do we really need the Max Tow? Or maybe we don't need the Ecoboost and should get the 5.0 L with the V8? Or maybe there's another way to go altogether? We do definitely need a pick up, as we have some gear we need to bring along.
I should note that we're not all that knowledgable about trucks. I have read a lot of the other threads but it seems like some people say definitely Max Tow and others say otherwise.
I did find a new truck that matches all of our needs... but I'm hoping to not have to spend $42,000 on a truck, at least until we have more experience and are sure what we need and that we're going long term, etc.
Thanks so much. Any help is really appreciated!
