This is Lucille.
2016 F250, found her with only 6K miles at a local dealership.
No mods, just a basic, functional truck that will do the job every time.
My old truck was an 02 Chevy Silverado 1500. My daughter is driving it now...great comfortable truck for many years, the 5.3 L engine has been bulletproof for 15 years!
This is Lucille at play with her friend the small skid-steer.

The Chevy was never named....good truck though...not the greatest tow vehicle.

Are you going to wrap her in barb wire? I hope she is not hungry!

She is a gasser I take it without the badging I noticed. What motor? How does it tow thus far?

My new 17 Tacoma TRD Pro, tow rig, in Cement gray! Kinda matches the Indian Princess and I'm already representing!

Nice Toyota Shane! I really liked the Tundra I looked over, seemed very high quality.

and Don't worry Bruce, Lucille is not a "vampire bat"...good one though it took me a minute to catch your Walking Dead reference!

Lucille has the 6.2 liter gas motor.
I haven't towed the boat but she did fine with the small skid steer.
Tow rating is 12,500 lbs for the 250 4X4 6.2 liter crew cab model.

Beautiful truck! Love the color. We have a 2010 F250 with 5.4L to tow our FiSH and 32' travel trailer. Even after four Cummins Rams, the F250 is the best truck I've ever owned.
Yours too Shane!
