I am a large animal veterinarian practicing in Maine. This truck has been getting me to farm calls since November of 1999, in all kinds of adverse conditions. This is the fourth Ford truck I’ve used, and the second 7.3 diesel. I also use it to tow a horse trailer. I can’t possibly say enough about what a great reliable vehicle this has been. I haven’t touched the motor, and it got its first clutch at 263,000 miles.
