Olivia Cannon at Camelback Ford, Phoenix, AZ

We went to Camelback Ford in Phoenix, AZ to check out the new 2011 F250 Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel Crew Cab.  What a ride!!! and with lots of electronic toys and connections.  I loved all the new innovations from the adjustable gas/brake pedals to the backup camera.  But what I liked most was the response time.  In the past diesel powered engines in a pickup tended to have a delay in acceleration, not this one.  Hold on, and brace yourself.  You are going to feel your head being embedded into the head rest.  We've been checkin' out the competition, but Ford is looking strong.  Besides the new F250 Super Duty, I was impressed with the sales & support crew.  They answered all my questions & if they didn't know the answer they found out immediately.  You can go in and ask for Chad Brassel or Kris Wall, they were great!  They took their time and had lots of patience with me as I did the full 360' and kicked the proverbial tires, even let me take it out twice when I realized I had forgotten to check the turning radius.  It beat my 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Heavy Duty Crew Cab Long Bed hands down.  And when I wanted to know more on the specs, i.e. gas economy, Nick Matherly, Master Certified Product Specialist, was right there with the answers.  We're looking for a new ride for Olivia's Play Across America Tour this summer.  We need something that all of us and all our stuff will fit in, i.e. musical instruments, the Bose L1 portable PA system, and our travel buddy Bella.  All this stuff will fit in the cab and we will still have room to carry our Sun EZ tad recumbent trikes and pull our Camp Inn teardrop trailer.  We will only be pulling a little teardrop this summer, but who knows I may replace the 5th wheel I recently sold real soon.  To pull a 5th wheel we will need something that can pull at least 10,000 pounds or better.  In between all the wheelin' and dealin' we took breaks for Olivia to share her new songs.  http://www.oliviacannon.com/
