I need to make space..
So it may be time to rehome her. Asking a lot as I am not in a rush, would obviously change the price for a forum member. Please feel free to let me know what I should be asking in terms of a fair market price.. As the summer comes around I will do some work on her as I just enjoy it - when time allows, but seems prudent to plan the sale now and when the right bid comes in, it comes in. https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/bend-1984-ford-f350-crew-cab-dually/7737483675.html

Say it isn't so! You are letting "Dual-little" go?

I know, it is not optimal…
The discounts on the Lightnings are so deep right now… I do care about rehoming, but the $$$ is totally negotiable. Starting high as I really don’t want to sell her, but we need a modern vehicle to rack up local miles.

Well, you still have two others, so it isn't like you are going AWOL. But keep us posted.

How a US guy can go anything else than AWOL? I could choose something different than American Way Of Life, but you guys? ![]()

I think the official translation is Absent With Out Leave. But I think I like yours better.

Oh, I am not going anywhere! Eunice and Espy and I are here to stay.
Looks like I successfully negotiated my way into the Lightning Lariat… got $19.5k off MSRP!

The Lariat version!
Wow, there’s nothing too good! ![]() Congrats! ![]() Someday I’ll find some time to understand what are the differences between Lightnings. I think there is battery option or some other spec that allows bigger mileage range, not sure…

A chap came by last night and we chatted for a couple of hours, he offered me $10k.
We plan to close when I get back form my travel, so next weekend. A big week around here.

Glad you got what you wanted for it. Sad but happy - bittersweet.

Sad to see her go!
But, if you don't need a 12 horse trailer you don't really need a dually either! 🤔 Please update the great electric debate in the FORD Lounge, with how this P/U works for your use case. ![]()

Elyza is back on the market. The guy who was interested turned out to be a time waster. I suspect even a scammer. I was out of town and he wanted me to leave the keys with him so he could start work on some bits. That was an easy "nope, but when I get back and you have the money, no problem".
Well, I got back from my work trip and reach out to him, and I have been ghosted!

There's good reasons why I don't want to deal with society, at all...

Just had a nice long chat with a 65yo chap from Houston that is interested.
He is looking for a forever truck, sounds like a nice fit. So of course I told him about all of you and the forum and sent him a link!
