    But use this one for DD as well. I keep getting offers buy can't get myself to sell it. I've never seen another spec like it.

    Now, this is an honest question and I hope you won't get it the wrong way. What do you Americans use these things for? I have a 1995 Landie and I use it for carrying things around my property and it can go to places that most farm tractors can't. That beast of yours though puzzles me. It can haul, sure, but it seems useless off road.

    Bragging rights in Texas! [emoji2] I just had a 30 minute chat with our neighbors about all the features on our Ford F-450. Just about all of our neighbors have chatted my wife and I up about the truck since we got it last year.

    Not one of them has ever shown an interest in the F-car in the 6.5 years we have owned it. Actually that's not true, one of my former neighbors asked us if there were many Corvettes in that color!

    Seriously though, it's a very comfortable road trip car with the upright seating, heated and ventilated seats, enough storage for even my wife, and the best HMI of any car we've owned. The 450 is quite maneuverable for its size - on the streets and roads here - and has great visibility from the driver's seat. And, to be honest, given how poorly people drive, I feel much better when my wife is driving the 450 versus any other of our cars.

    You are right though. A big dually is not the best option for off pavement driving. It can be a bit of a handful on smaller paved roads, especially if they're in rough shape.

    Pics of your Land Rover?

    Thanks for the reply mate.
    I will send you a PM pic of my Disco. I hate putting out pics in the open. Call me anal about privacy, but it must be my Army background. Cheers.

    350 diesel 4x4. I got the XLT trim. I prefer cloth seats and that is the only way they offer it.

    I tow 20,000 # trailers here and there. I have a compact track loader and a mini excavator to move around.

    They really do work well. Tons of rooms, plenty of power and the tech is very good.

    @tomc and F-chatters, here is my car: a 2011 Nissan Micra (or March, according to the market).
    Donated by my father at the end of my studies, I still use it :)

    Gorgeous car! Seems like the ride might be rough to drive daily?

    It’s no Bentley, but its fine tbh and the ground clearance is deceivingly high. Helps that the front lift is fast in action!
