I DD a Toyota Tundra that also doubles as a tow vehicle for the car now that I have done work to it. DD a truck nowadays isn't too bad as the options available are really nice.

Exactly. Plus I need the extra room for my lab pup (85 lb and still growing) and I need something I can haul my bike with to go ride at parks and trails.

I just started riding again. We should meet up some time and go for a ride. I'd like to try out some new trails so I don't burn out on this one by my house.

10th gen F150s hold their own pretty dang well. There is a reason why they are the most sought after used trucks right now.

I am fans of both the Ford F150s and the Toyota Tundras. I think the 5.7 v8 drivetrain the in Toyota's are superior in towing applications though. That engine is a monster and is proven reliable. Plus they have the best resale value out of any truck & made in Texas. Also, a positive displacement supercharger can be placed on non-flex fuel models at the dealership and not void the warranty

Wait...you have a 5.0 and you brought the V6 to the GTG last Saturday? That's grounds for having your 'man card' taken.

Something about that red car, I love driving it. I also love to see the reaction on a lot of drivers who aren't familiar with the 3.7 when I walk them. LOL

Thanks everybody for coming out tonight! We had a good number I think 14-15 Mustangs in total! It was good to meet some new faces tonight! Thanks too for everybody bearing the cold. It should be even better as it warms up.
I still plan to do this once a week so come out when you can! Like I mentioned before I am up for any suggestions. I think our parking location was perfect with good access to restaurants.
Thanks again guys here are a few pics I got. We are missing a few but that's okay it was cold!
