I recently acquired a 98' LX, in good mechanical condition, with 131k miles... My dad and I got to talking and we've taken other trips e.g. Moab, Montana, Colorado to go wheeling in different rigs and four wheelers before but Alaska is calling... Here's my dilemma I have an F350 diesel, 4x4 ,crew cab which could pull my 5th Wheel travel trailer OR I have the LX which will most likely be kitted out, all major maintenance done and just begging for adventure. I also have a family which will be in tow (wife and son 17, daughter 15 (ages at the time of travel May 2017)).
Options:
I could fly my wife and one or more of the kids to a pre-determined destination (Washington, Oregon) And enjoy thousands of miles of quiet.
I could save the airfare and buy an RTT or adventure trailer with an RTT for the LX too if needed.
I could drive the Ford
Thoughts?
Yes, I know it's a ways out but I'm a planner...
