Good on you!
Ford.
How much muslim-owned??
f150s are good trucks. that wouldbethe one i would buy if i was buying a truck.
It’s pretty.
Like you I have driven a Chevy all my life.
I need a new truck so I went to look at the Fords, as I had pledged to myself.
Sticker shock..sticker shock!!! And they won’t budge on their price.
My new truck purchase is temporarily delayed until I can reconcile myself to the price.
I’ve got a 2007 Expedition, best vehicle I’ve ever owned.
Sticker price on this truck was $38.7 and it was on sale on the dealership’s website for almost 2 weeks for $25.7. I kept eyeballing it before I spontaneously hauled my butt down and purchased. It doesn’t have have the navigation system or back-up cam (who cares I say) but pretty much everything else. Lots of chrome too.
I’m happy as I felt I got a good deal considering what trucks are going for nowadays.
Return it. Ford borrowed 5.9 billion from us in 2009.
Ford didn’t file bankruptcy or get bailed out by Uncle Sam, but didn’t it receive $5.9 billion in low-cost government loans in 2009 to overhaul its factories and bring out more fuel-efficient technology? What would have happened to Ford if Congress hadn’t authorized taxpayer money to fund that $25 billion Energy Department program during a moment of crisis for the industry?
Ford credit was sucking on the tit too..

The honest truth is you really can’t buy a truck from any manufacturer that didn’t take, beg, or borrow our money.
I won’t buy any vehicles made by UAW workers.
Nice! You can NEVER go wrong with a Ford truck. I have owned f-150’s, f-250’s, and f-350’s. They have all been awesome.
Nice looking truck...and sounds like you got a good deal!
Best air conditioners of all manufacturers
Good for you Cajun! I actually wanted the oxford white really bad but knew I wouldn’t find the deal I got so I settled on the metallic gray.
My new truck purchase is temporarily delayed until I can reconcile myself to the price
Bought a new F150 last sept. best truck I ever had, if you wait until august or so, they will likely have employee prizing I got $16000,0 off plus $1000, off from Ford as a regular costumer and $1000 off for Costco membership, sticker prize was $50500 and paid $36500 less trade in plus tax right now I think it was the best deal I ever made
good luck
BTW I am in the same pickle. My 05 Chev is pushing 310,000 miles and it seems like everyday something new goes wrong with it. (I mean it is 200,000 miles past expected service life).. Ford is dragging their feet with the new Transit (not the little connect. it’s a replacement for the econoline) but the bail out/loans thing bugs me.
I’ll likely replace it with a Benz diesel van.
