new truck

Speaking of taking the truck to the beach, we recently finally traded in our 2015 Honda CR-V for a 2017 Ford F-150 truck. 

Been needing something like this ever since we moved to SPI. During our purchase, from Spike's Ford in Mission, Texas, we learned that the Ford F-150 truck is THE most-often-stolen vehicle in South Texas. Great! Now I'm a target!

This truck is loaded. It's the Platinum level, which is one step above the King Ranch edition. 4WD, power everything, SuperCrew cab with four full-sized doors, no sunroof (didn't want one), 3.5L V-6 Ecoboost, 5' bed, collision avoidance, blind-spot, cameras all over, etc etc.

 Rock and roll, baby!
