Our Truck Family Tree

I have pulled my trailer with the 1995 One Ton Ford truck pictured on the left for the past 17 years.  Yes, folks, we bought it new in 1995 and are still using it. Diesel engine and a standard shift transmission makes for a long lasting truck.  It is so old now that it is almost a classic.   
Enter the shiny white one in the middle which will be replacing the old 1995 as my primary trailer pulling truck.  We finally broke down and bought ourselves a new truck for Christmas.  Now I figured if we are going keep it for 17 years we should get all kinds of fun stuff on it.  When they asked me if I wanted the navigation system, I said sure.  I thought it would be like the GMS thing on my phone.  Oh dear.  Was I wrong.  I will need to go to a class to figure out how to use that thing.  Scared me to death one day last week when it answered my cellphone which was in my purse. Although I am thinking the voice commands will be a tad safer than trying to find where I am on my little cell phone screen while driving down the road.
Just need to buy a gooseneck ball and the trailer hitch is already there.  Has a plug in for the trailer lights in the truck bed so I won't have to crawl under and plug them in anymore.  Gee, I am already spoiled and we haven't even hooked up to the trailer yet.
The truck on the right is the 2008 F250 we bought our only child for his 18th birthday.  Only child of older parents.  Nuff said. He is 23 now and has added all kinds of things to the truck but has no plans to replace it.  He says he will keep it forever since it was his first and knowing him, he will.
Not sure if the goats will even notice, but we will be on the show circuit with a safe, dependable vehicle.  We might even check out the shows in other states.
