Happy Birthday!
Today is the truck's 20th birthday!
I ordered this truck from Ford in June, and had to wait 8 weeks to take delivery (2 extra weeks due to the floods in the Midwest.) I remember driving onto the dealership lot in Simi Valley, California, and saw it sitting on the sidewalk in front of the building. At that time, I had no idea of the path that would be taken with this truck.
I've driven this truck in 25 states - I won't visit all of them, but there are plenty more on the list to see, lots of dirt roads/trails to drive.
20 years, and still going strong! I guess that's what they mean by Built Ford Tough! (Or, in this case, Rebuilt Ford Tough!)
Here's a picture from the Colorado trip 2 weeks ago. It is on Schoefield Pass, about to head down to Devil's Punch Bowl.
Here's hoping for 20+ more years!
