Default goodbye DF

hey guys,

just thought id let you know ive jumped ship. i bought my dakota sxt quad cab v6 in 2011. it was my first truck. (i was 19 at the time). i loved it, other than the quality and how much has gone wrong in the 4 years ive owned it. although i havent posted much, i have read hour and hours worth of threads, and it helped me alot with modifications, and maintenence.

heres a little reflection of my truck.

without further adieu, my new truck.
2012 f150 ecoboost. 365hp 420hptq.

the new truck is the 3.5 twin turbo. it has factory remote start, power slider rear window with defrost, heated mirror with signals in it, trailer tow package with heavy springs, reverse camera, microsoft sync (actually a really nice system) electronic rear locker. it drives like a dream and will get better fuel milage then the dakota.

i was actually sad when trading it in, being my first truck, but i work in the trades and can better utilize a fullsize pickup.
thanks guys! ill still pop in from time to time!

If and when it happens, I will be purchasing the new Colorado with the diesel, but I plan on keeping my Dakota, I will need something to tow it to the track, plus I have to much money invested to just let it go
