Just got back from the local Ford dealership where I placed an order for a brand spanking new 2012 Ford F-150 HD, Ecoboost. It has a tow rating of 11,300 lbs, so I figure I could pull pretty much anything I would be interested in other than the 40 foot 5er I looked at, but sure couldn't afford. ($60,000)

Anyway, they said it would be 6-8 weeks for delivery, so my camping IS DEFINITELY over for 2011. Here's to more than 66 nights in 2012!!

We are going to be camp hosting again at Natural Tunnel - don't know which month yet, but it will be June, July or August.

Tentatively planning a western excursion to Yellowstone and the surrounding areas during whatever month we are not camp hosting. We'll pick up the Grand Tetons, Black Hills, Yosemite, etc. while we are out there.

Glad to hear that your getting a new tow vehicle, even if is a Ford,j/k. It was probably the best idea to get a new one, since you could pick out the options that you wanted on it. Hope to see you guys camping next year.

You wll absolutely love the Ecoboost. I know I do!

It is still a bit of a headscratcher that I paid to 'upgrade' to the 'smaller' engine. scratch

We just spent 1500 miles in ours over Thanksgiving (non towing) to PA and back. It put out a steady 20 mpg with the cruise set a little over 75.

Okay... I saw the OP got his truck based on a post over at rv.net.

There must be something wrong with my screen cause I don't see any pics yet Shocked
