I appreciate all the input....trailering really does seem the way to go. Besides the diesel F250 needs a work out.
I looked into an auto transporter...$2.00+ per mile. I can drive up there, rent the trailier (U-Haul) and come back for around $1200.
BTW I'm going from El Paso, TX to San Fransico. If you need something in either direction and are along I-10, I-5 or close proximity drop me a line.
