Adventure Time!
Introducing our brand new 2020 Ford F250 XL 4x4 Super Cab that we named "DONKI" our noble steed!
This truck replaces our 2019 F250 XL Crew Cab 4x4 truck that we purchased in December 2019. It is extremely similar but shorter! It has the 148" wheelbase vs the 160" wheelbase and the total length (bumper to bumper) is under 20ft! This shortens the turning circle from 53ft to 50ft and allows it to easily fit in any parking space.
Gaining improved maneuverability and capability with the shorter wheelbase will help off road. The big tradeoff is the smaller cab area. We should still be able to fit our 2 mountain bikes inside even with the smaller cab.
