re: New vehicle advice

I wouldn't want a diesel unless I was towing daily. I wouldn't want a 250 unless I was towing heavy. A full size SUV will tow almost anything a normal person needs to tow. I have a full size SUV to tow my 23ft bay boat. I do miss a truck bed every now and then, but I just rent a trailer for $15-20 when I need it. It is SO much cheaper to rent a trailer than buy one when you only use it a few times a year. I'd get the F150 with coyote if you must have a truck, I guess the expedition with ecoboost would be a decent SUV option but I might look at a GM product with the 6.2 in it. I am personally not spending $70k on a vehicle new so I will be looking at this crop of vehicles in 5-7 years.
