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.
Congrats, I have a 2006 F150. Good pickup.
1934 Stutz Bearcat
I’m still doin the old chevys.
Newest are early 90’s.
They have forward/backward compatibility with engines, transmissions, transfer cases, bla bla that puts Ford to shame. Straight up, and I aint helpin any union dudes.
Its all backwoods aftermarket.
Good for you. I have an old Ford Escape I am driving into the ground and I love it. One of the best vehicles I ever owned. What you have there is exactly what I have in mind for my next vehicle. Where I am, 4-wheel drive is a must, and Ford has always had REAL 4WD, not that fake “all wheel drive” most of the rest are selling.
Kevin,
I hate to burst your bubble, but Ford Credit took 40 Billion of the TARP money.

First On Race Day, until Chrysler and GM blew them out of the water!!
My partner and I held the SCTA D roadster record of 154 until Voight and Colb showed up at Bonneville with a De Soto and went 176. Sold the flathead roadster in 55 for $650!
yes. if a leftist zigs, we zag. kudos to you.
i got my F150 4 years ago and it has been a joy to own.
I bought my 2008 Ford Edge back in the fall of 2008 when the economy was flatlining and everyone was in a panic, and got a great deal on it (the dealer seemed determined to push autos off the lot). I’ve got about 70K miles on it and haven’t had a single problem with it. That said I’m not sure I’d buy another UAW made auto.
Ford’s new policy is that you cannot get a stick shift in the new F-series. Out. Of. Touch.
Nice! I wish Ford would put the Ecoboost V6 in something other than their top trim levels, because the concept of a 365-horsepower twin-turbo V6 in a pickup truck appeals mightily...but not at $45k+ for leather seats and satnav along with it.
If I was getting a new vehicle now I’d seriously look at Fords; for pickup trucks I’ve always been a Mopar guy (I own a ‘96 Ram 1500 extended cab with 190k miles) but other than the trucks, Chrysler’s stuff is crap nowadays. I rented a Dodge Journey for a week last year when changing jobs and moving, and it was hideous. Uncomfortable, loud, weak engine, absolute worst attempt at a CVT I’ve ever seen, just junk. The only Mopar I’d want to get right now would be a ‘90s Cherokee (not the Grand Cherokee) with the 4.0 liter High Output I6. The engine is near-bulletproof, a worthy successor to the legendary 225 Slant Six, and the Cherokee is simple and tough. But you can’t find them anymore, nobody sells them except at a huge premium and if they’ve been ragged out.
Right now we drive a 2010 Mazda 5 that we got used the first of last year and I am mightily impressed. It’s not the fastest thing in the world, but for a 6-passenger psuedo-minivan, it handles VERY well and is fun to drive. And so far, no issues with it mechanically in a year and a half.
And yeah, pickup sticker shock is crazy. 17 years ago I paid almost $23,000 for my Ram and I thought that was insane. Nowadays I don’t think $23,000 even gets you in the door to buy a full-size truck with vinyl seats and no options.

If folks want a truck made in the USA by non-union labor, buy a Toyota Tundra. Made in Princeton, IN. I don’t know the specifics on the Tundra, but Toyota is also very good about sourcing materials made in the USA as well. Over 90% on the Camry.
