It feels sooooooooo good!!!

I drive my F-Super Duty over the road delivering new travel trailers to the dealers and I'm out on the road for 4 or 5 days at a time. I basically live in my truck, in it almost 24 hours a day when I'm working. When I come home after making my delivery and get into the Mustang to go somewhere it just feels so good driving it again.

Now, my 2012 F250 crew cab PowerStroke is a comfortable, great driving and riding truck but man it is so good to get back into the Mustang after being away for a few days!

Strangely enough we are just the opposite here. After driving the Wifey's Mustang (don't get me wrong the car is great so no flames please) over a long run, I find it's good to get back into my F-150 Platinum. I think if the Mustang had a telescoping steering wheel where I could get a more comfortable driving position, it would be a different story. She loves it, and that's what counts.

My Mustang rides like a lawn tractor when compared to my wife's Edge Limited.

My truck is great, very comfortable and smooth riding, but try living in that F150 of yours for 4 or 5 days straight, sleeping in the back seat, only getting out for limited times for fuel and meals.

That's what I do, just like a long haul 18 wheeler driver. I have a bed that I built that fits where the back seat is and that's where I sleep when on the road.

So, it's just that much better when I get home and get to drive my Mustang again, get to listen to those great Outlaws as I run up through the gears.

I do understand. But, it's good to know I have a place to sleep if I get in trouble with the Wifey.

Very interesting thread!
I find myself swinging between my F150 and the Mustang. I'm lucky that I get to pick either one each day. Driving one for a few days in a row makes me appreciate the other one even more. This goes both ways. It's great!
(And I agree with wanted33's comment on the telescoping steering wheel.)
