I know it has been discussed, but thought I would start a thread for lovers of the HDPP F150

 

I just finished a trip within the state of Colorado, Front Range down to South Central Colorado for a week or so of camping/fishing. Just always impressed with this truck, 2016 SuperCab 8 foot bed carrying 2013 Grandby Shell + (furnace, king bed, cooktop, built up counter and bench) 1250 lbs. Our truck has a 2611 lb payload capacity, hardly notice the camper.. 565 miles on one tank!

 

My main reason for getting this over a F250 is that I drive for work when the camper isn't on it and the F250 eats more gas and its really tall (I am not).. I have had this set up for 1.5 years now and if I were to buy a new truck, I would buy the same thing.. 5.0 Motor

Also that trip was on USHWY 285 for the most part, speed limit 55 for about 1/3 and 65 for the rest, cruise set and 60 and 70.. up and over 2 smaller mountain passes (Kenosha and Poncha).

Thanks .

They are not listed as endangered but there are special regulations on how to fish them, flies and lures only and of course catch and release only ( I haven't kept any trout, ever).. Apparently they have been forced out by non native fish, and climate change has made their environments fewer and fewer..
