Hi Jerry, Fuel economy was the same. We did think about putting one in storage, but then decided to go ahead and just keep the Chevy. It has a higher tow rating and a shorter wheelbase. Plus we got more than we expected for the Ford from CarMax. Thanks for watching-- stay tuned!

This is still a pretty new relationship so don’t do anything rash. Whichever truck you decide to keep, store the other one for at least a year. Do you have family who can watch it for you for a while? You two seem logical, don’t do anything you will regret. Wishing you both the best! 😀

Four wheel of drive is like a generator in the garage, seems like a waste of money until you need it.

I admit I am new to your Channel and don’t know a lot about the history but there was one suggestion I hadn’t seen in the comments. i agree that ideally it would be wise to ensure the relationship is on very firm ground if there is any possibility that either of you would struggle to get back into a rig of your owns should the relationship end. That point aside, if you plan to move forward with just one truck a paid off one is really beneficial especially as they get on in miles. That’s money you can put into repairs or future proofing ahead of sustained travel. Now by selling the Chevy and no longer having a payment you could make the ford easier to live with. You can get seat covers for the truck that might increase the comfort levels and heated seats are available aftermarket and aren’t that expensive to have installed by a shop. Backup cameras can be added too. Then you have some of the comforts of the Chevy on a lower mile paid off rig! Then you can put the payments you were making into savings so that you pay yourself toward the cost of a newer truck down the line. Then you can put a lot down or pay in cash! I won’t weigh in on Ford vs Chevy. My comment is just based on practicality.

Sharing the problem of double lifes is the issue, honestly the two sets of body languages with sound and without sound is revealing. Not to cast dispersants on your relationship, never put all your eggs in one basket even with 100 chickens. I see and just now here where I'm at the daddy's got all his toy vehicles on one string and mommas got the smooth ride she drive herself. It doesn't matter if it's a ClassA with a toy trailer and a third vehicle following or 5th wheel triple towing with a 4th vehicle following there is a vehicle for each which is sometimes a God sent concerning mobility. The trailer is another matter, there y'all don't need two. Selling a camper in this marketplace is a disaster, your going to be taking a bath no doubt. Any conversation starting with "If " needs more time . 8 week is no time to cut the baby in half to please both, we know how that turned out, one lost, one won and the baby survived.

Then no one is out in the cold if things just don't go the way you both plan. Won't hurt to give yourselves an option rather then having to try and force things to work.

Hey guys, great, exciting stuff! Proves puppy love can happen at any age. I vote for his truck, not because it’s his, with lower mileage, is paid for, etc, but because it’s a 4X4! It’ll take you more places, get you out of trouble faster and you can add after market gear to it, especially since he’s a gear head. At 72 and having been married three times, I do concur on the advice of storing one of the trucks. Most are advising for a year, but how about a compromise at six months. Compromise is the name of the game, but do it with intelligence! I hope to be on the road full time later this year and would love running into you somewhere along the way. Oh, almost forgot, a true gentleman always asks permission for the first kiss and one that sleeps on the couch for weeks or months while caring for you in your invalid state should set off the magical bells that he is a keeper.

Hi- and welcome to my channel! Thanks for sharing about your experience Ford vs Chevy. I was married to a Ford engineer and between us we had at least six new Fords during our marriage. We knew to clear our schedule the first few weeks with a new one because we would have to take them back to the dealer for repairs. I've had an F150 and an F250. And-honestly- I would have bought an F250 this time around. I kinda think it's luck of the draw with which one is better. I mean, you could get a "Friday car" where shortcuts were made on the line. The main reason I went Chevy is I wanted a shorter wheelbase for manueverability. My Chevy really shines in that department, when compared to Paul's. Getting his parked is a real hassle! But we are weighing all options. Congrats on being able to save your marriage. Hope to see you guys out on the road someday!

I agree with the majority of the comments Liz, keep both but store one in case your relationship doesn’t work out. Still early day, enjoy each other’s company and re assess in 12 months.. if you’re both still really happy with each other after a year then make your decision . Good luck. 😀

Very good point-- and I agree wholeheartedly. Thanks so much!

Finally got our trailer back from the dealership it seems that the wire harness was under the gray water tank and was causing the short in the brake wire that’s what was giving me the check trailer wiring it’s fixed and we have it back at home planning our first trip

I’m thinking Liz already pulled out the “resent” word. I would suggest you find storage for one year and do a 6 month trial with both trucks. Then decide!! Good luck!!!

You guys have terrific tow vehicles and travel trailers. Personally I would pick the Ford to tow with and the travel trailer doesn't seem to be a problem. Your in the midst of a quasi honeymoon. Things don't always go the way we think they should so I would store a truck and travel trailer maybe 6 months to a year or what ever time period you are comfortable with. Then sell or go your separate ways.

That's what we thought. Still not sure because of the Chevy's plus points. Since we are fulltime Rvers we will be in the truck for long stretches and we both like the nice ride of the Chevy.

I would see which one got better fuel mileage. And which one lower RPMs when pulling the RV. How many gears are in each one. I would sell both of them and get a different truck. Maybe a 1 ton. I also would figure out which trucks been broke down more needed more maintenance and go from there.

@LizAmazing

The RPMs are about the same, but good thinking though! As fulltime Rvers we need to figure this out and get back on the road. Per Paul: they both appear to have 373 final drive (whatever that means!).

Oh dear! I too am a first time truck owner Liz! My SUV' s prior had sunroofs. I made an economical decision to buy my truck w/o sunroof, in a color I didn't like for the low miles and great price. I've since grown to love my truck! A) Save your money and keep the Ford, or B) trade both in and purchase a truck together, as you are already shopping for a new RV. (I'd go for A 😁👌)

@LizAmazing

I like it! Yep, I think we should get a new truck that’s ours! Stay tuned!!!

Don't sell either yet. Reasoning: both are over 3 years old so majority of depreciation is behind you and a one year wait will not cost you all that much. Put one of them on blocks in your own garage and put limited nonop insurance on it , for the next year. For example, California allows you to do a reduced license registration for non operated vehicle ay a much cheaper rate. With the tag cost down and low insurance tab, that will buy you too lots of candlelight with wine dinners. I like the suggestion of letting the person who will be doing most of the driving, pick the truck. Be happy and have fun!

Yes. That was a possibility and still is someday. We decided to keep the Chevy for its shorter wheelbase and higher tow rating. Can't even find a new one with that nice short wheelbase, sadly. So Paul did a $300 mod turning it into effectively a one ton. Here's our video about that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lmmOlZSteZS7oco.html

If it were me, I would wait maybe 6 mos or so before doing anything, get some miles on the relationship and by then maybe y'all will be more secure in making the decision. I wish you all the best and will be rootin' for your success!!!

Heated seats! I know it’s already decided, but I had to weigh in. And I’m with the people who didn’t think you should rush into anything. When I married my husband, we bought a house, but I kept my condo and rented it out for another seven years just to make sure. But as I said in another post, he looks like a keeper. And he’s a Studebaker man! I love the bullet nose, but I love the ‘53 Lowey coupes even more.

Good advice about the truck. Paul says he had a 53' Starlight so he knows exactly what you're talking about!!

I guess that's the advantage of us being so old. No time to waste! It's now been over a year and we're still going strong-- and we kept the Chevy! Thanks for watching and for your comment!

You will find important advantages with the 4x4, if you're traveling the country both in snow and soft campgrounds--not to mention boon-docking. Cloth seats wear much better and are more comfortable than leather if you have a lot of seat time. I prefer the Chevy handling and steering, but this Ford would be my vote of these 2. My rig is the Chevy standard cab, 8' bed, 6L gas, 4x4 and 4:10 gears. Fuel is cheaper than diesel regardless of small mileage difference, and repairs and maintenance is better with the gas. Diesel only if you're towing heavy equipment. My load with the gas is 3,300 and tow is 13,300. Pulls the Rockies up AND down. Keep both, your relationship is new. Good luck. :)

When Paul's truck and camper were hooked up, it looked like it was too much weight for the truck. The front of the truck was high and the back, very low. It just looks off.

Good eye! That photo was before he added Timbren springs, which are helper springs to prevent the truck from squatting.

Not to be a downer but what if you decide to consciously uncouple down the road? Who gets the vehicle and RV? Are you both able to take care of yourselves as a singleton again? (Hope that doesn't happen, but you know what I mean.) Especially Paul because he is retired.

We kept the Chevy- shorter wheelbase and higher tow rating. Thanks so much! We may just trade it all in for a different rig!

Since you asked... toss a backup camera onto the Ford because it's paid off and has more power. Sell the Chevy and set aside the proceeds from the sale, plus continue to bankroll what your payment would have been. This gives you a safety net of being able to buy again more easily should there be need. Plan to travel with the Ford for a year/18 months. Be mindful during that time about what options you really do miss (I think I'd miss heated/cooled seats, probably?) and what options were just nice to have (sunroof or sound system, maybe?) Check out other people's trucks if they're open to the idea--see what you like/dislike about those. Then, reassess at a pre-agreed upon time (June 2021-ish) and get a new (used) truck together that really does suit both your desires--using the proceeds from the previous sale and the Ford.

@LizAmazing

4 жыл бұрын

Wow, Sage so much wisdom here! My butt gets numb on the cloth seats and it is so hard to park because the Ford is 6 inches longer than the Chevy and with that a much longer wheelbase. I agree, a backup camera is SO needed! I don't really miss the sunroof but I REALLY want that leather! Also, the gas tank on the Chevy is huge-- 36 gallons which makes it so nice on road trip days. Getting gas when pulling a big camper can be pretty stressful! Honestly, I don't know if I can wait a year but will talk to Paul about some other time in the future. Thanks!

I like that Liz is holding her own on the truck, and can appreciate that her truck is easier to drive but, one, I wouldn't sell so fast (either of you) but if you really think now is the time to sell I wonder what the payments are, I'd much rather have clothe seats and no payments!
