The tires are in perfect shape... it does just need a "bit" of a push and either a couple HS kids of a hundred gallons of water seem to be ok.......

If you're a CEO of a hospital then you can stop borrowing your dads stuff and buy yourself a $30,000 tow vehicle. Or better yet...buy your dad a 4x4 and then borrow it from him. He'll love you for it. Son!

Dude, you are in TX. EVERYONE drives big trucks down there. Ain't no shame in a nicely appointed leathered out full size truck.

It is a conundrum.... King Ranch F-250 in Black with the natural hide leather seats or the Black caddy with stainless wheels..... it has been discussed in the familyt. just doesnt match the hospital system i run. Having and extra $40K auto sitting around also doesnt fit after being a CFO for the past 15 years either.....

An AWD Escalade is not rated to tow that boat.

Same as the Navigator....... just wont make it. and not diesel which makes a HUGE difference.

I would not go black in TX. I have a black truck in VA, and its bearable with the heat and dust.

A nice silver, or maybe even the Amarillo edition would look awesome with your boat. VERY nice trucks can be had for less than $30K, especially Fords since quite a few are trading into new '08s and leftover '07s.

SAN.... nice scarab, looks like the one we had over here. Did you recently get it from a guy in louisiana? If so that used to be "the cats ass", and unless the guy stripped it also should have a pretty nice stereo in it.
