We'd been debating getting a newer truck & Steve had been doing some casual looking, both in person and on line. The day we decided to go for it we'd been down in Raleigh, stopped at one used car dealership on the way home. Saw a maybe, then went on up the road a bit and stopped at the Ford dealership where we'd bought a vehicle 8 years ago. The truck was sitting out front so we started looking it over. A salesman got a key so we could look inside, then took it for a test drive. It had all that we wanted and then some, even to the color. The next day it was ours. > live with long term into an RV.
