Duke's "New" Ride

[dukedogsmom]

I said goodbye to my Ranger today after seven years. I was getting really tired of shifting plus wanted a big truck so that I could tow horses and such. I won't be getting a trailer for quite a while but a friend has one I can borrow. I want to start going camping with Flair and going on rides in different parts of Florida. Anyway, here was my Ranger



Now, my truck is not new at all but I really consider it an upgrade of sorts. It's got vinyl seats like I wanted so the dog hairs easily disappear. It's an automatic. Big plus. I was so sick of shifting. I got a good amount for my Ranger and it won't take me too long to get this one paid for. I just didn't feel like five years of payments and I happened to see this truck on the way to the barn and fell in love with it. It may not seem very special to a lot of people but it's perfect for me. It's an F350 crew cab(4 door!)

Excuse Duke's glowing eyes.

It looks like Duke loves it, too. No wonder! Congratulations.

As soon as I got home, I loaded up Duke for a short ride. He was so excited. He barked like crazy when I drove up, until he found out it was me.


I like this one. Didn't realise the mirror was so dirty, though

Here's the best one

One pic just for fun. I got this accidentally.
Slurp!

I took the truck to our service station and had it completely checked out before I bought it. So, cross your fingers that all is well and will be for a long time!

YAYYY!! You've been telling me about it for a while now and i'm so happy that you've finally been able to get it and that they finally got the AC fixed! Does it work good.. I know you'll need it

Simba and Duke would loooooovvvee riding in the back of the cab when it's time to go beachin'!



I did really like your old truck though, especially the color and stickers.

What a nice looking truck, and it looks like Duke didn't take long to make himself at home.

NEAT Graphics on the Ranger -
Will Duke get His Name painted on the passenger door of the new one?

I always get a Big when I see a Big Rig pass that has
a Dawggie Graphic and Fido's NAME painted on the door.

Happie Trails in the New Ride! .

Duke!!!
You look so handsome in your new truck!! You must just love it!!
Isn't it great that your mom buys you vehicles??!!

The past 3 new cars we have gotten, have been for the dogs--first one SUV when we had 2 dogs, then we graduated to a bigger one when we got 4!!!
Now I bought myself a little older car just to run around in, and that I can always take the dogs in!!!!

Congrats on the new truck!!!

I meant to comment on this yesterday. What I would love to do is get Duke's portrait on the passenger side with his name and have Flair's(horse) on driver's side with his name. The paint job isn't the best on this and I don't know if it can be done without having truck painted first. But, I would like to at least have Duke's on the passenger side while he's still around to enjoy the truck rides. I think that's a great idea! I could just get a stencil and spray his name in fancy letters. Would that look bad?
