John brown what number transmission are you on with your f-150? I thought you were worried about your trans again on the way to Clayton? Towing a lifted and modified bronco with a half ton is not a good idea. His bronco weighs about 5300 stock plus add ons. Let's say another 1500 for a trailer and you are most likey exceeding the gwvr for most half tons he could afford.

If his parents want to buy him a nicer truck more power to him. Most people in this club have tow rigs or have someone with a tow rig trailer their rig for them. Karl got a really nice truck for a really good price. I'm sure he can find a good deal once he knows what he wants and realizes it will take some time to find. I'm quite sure you can get a good truck for 10k.

Good luck finding your truck man.
