Yep,2 wheel drive.  In my line of work,I have little/no need for a 4 wheel drive.  And I grew up as a Ford/Chevy man lol.  My last 2 trucks have been Mopar,and I swore long ago,I would never own a mopar product,go figure lol.

This truck has the hemi head. Has a great deal of torque,in comparision to the cubes(bout 350 cubes).

In the pic,is my wifes 2004 stang.  When my truck approachs 12-15000 miles,I wanna race my wifes car in the quarter mile.  I'll bet it will be close...as the truck produces almost 100 more horsies than the stang.

If your wife gets serious about looking at cars,and is considering a stang,keep in touch.  My wife is a member of "modern mustangs of sarasota".....and she has lots of info relating to stangs.  Also,I personally wouldn't buy the new mustangs. I'm not a fan of all aluminum blocks n heads.

Have a happy and prosperus new years!
Respectfully,Rich

 Autoplay, what do you think of the look of the new 'Stangs? I've got a '99 GT and I still prefer that look over the new ones....

With the power programmer my duramax will achieve 410 HP just with the push of a few buttons, but that drops fuel economy down to where I was with a gas motor. Now I get 19 MPG average and as much as 21 on the hwy. This is with a 3300 lb payload capacity truck! I have it programmed now for 340 HP which is plenty, and the torque is off the chart. The quietness of this motor compared to other deisels is also what sold me.

That a deisel in the H2 Stue?

Nah, they didn't offer it with the DuraMax or I would have done it in a second! It's a Vortec 6000 gas engine.

Gas mileage is nothing to brag about I tell everyone that I get 20 MPG........10 on the interstate.....10 in town

I'm realistically getting about 12-13 MPG

I couldn't find any pictures of my supercar: a 2000 Taurus with the V6.....

Working on our seventh recall, and close to a thousand bucks in non-warranty repairs as it turns five years old soon.

This was the first Ford product I have ever purchased, not counting some classics over the years, but it will be the last.

OK...now we're getting into MY territory!

My 'Lil SVT is pushing just over 500HP at the wheels. I haven't seen it in 2 months but here's what she looks like:

My first two cars were Mustangs, a '65 and a '66.  They both had the original V-8, 289's.  I loved it when some guy in a hot rod would pull up next to me and want to race!  LOL!!!  I would beat them everytime!  Of course, they HATED being beat by a girl!!!  A short red-head at that!!!
