Then there is a few hdj81's around as well. All with Autos. Nice to have 12v electrics for trailer plug and possibly electric brakes as well. Nicer interior but I still love to ruggedness of the 61's
Last is say screw it and get a newer f150 and be done with it and live with US quality issues but much lower kms for the same price. This option would mean me keeping my little samurai as an offroader while either cruiser would hopefully replace both daily driver and offroader duty(mild)
What say ye? I know what everyones opions will be on the Ford!   |
Personally, I'd do the HJ61 with the 12HT. 3000 pounds isn't all that bad.
Besides, you aren't in a rush when towing a trailer are you?
