My K20 rides softer than a lot of the newer Fords, it won’t carry near as much weight though. I had a 2012 F250 company truck for a few years. It was reliable, but as I mentioned rode really rough and I didn’t care much at all for the interior.
I guess she's going to hold off for now and fly back home to Michigan as previously planned. Unfortunately, this isn't the only rodeo going on right now

Just curious, do you happen to know when GM stopped putting manual transmissions in new trucks?

Just thinking about a newer K2500 regular cab long box to replace my old K1500, but I will not buy another automatic. I was wanting to find a K20 with SM465/NP205 for my wood and ranch truck but I don't want a total project nor spend a ridiculous amount.
