New to this forum but not new to Ford pickups. My first was a new 1975 F250 4X4 with a 360 and a 4 speed. My latest is a 2025 F350 Tremor with a 7.3. I have added a Warn winch up front mounted on a Fab 4 bumper and a pair Baja Designs lights. I still own and drive a 2004 F350 crew cab with the 6.0 diesel. And my overall favorite was a 1989 F350 standard cab with the 7.3 diesel and manual tray. I drove the '25 down to Montana last fall from Alaska to hunt for a month. I did some mild off road driving. Used the winch once but otherwise experienced no issues. The 2025 truck is easily the most comfortable truck that I have owned. Not sure yet if I will make any other significant mods to this rig, such as larger tires/wheels, suspension, etc. My 2004 is lifted with 37's. I've lived mostly in Alaska since 1975 and I can offer advice on this state and what it has to offer. I am retired from Law enforcement here in Alaska. I hold a commercial pilot license and have several thousand hours of flying all around Alaska. As you might guess hunting and fishing are among my hobbies.
