What's the big deal about 0-60? Its just a truck. The F150 is a slug compared to a 3/4 ton with a pressurized diesel, anyways.

Um....I thought the beauty of the truck was that you didn't need acceleration to merge

IMO there is nothing in this world more obnoxious that the sound from those hopped up diesel trucks, except may the sound from a subaru WRX with a fart can exhaust.
I'd be much happier with a slug than an obnoxiously loud truck.

Yup, I agree. Why would someone want to be a wannabe trucker? That's hilarious.

The stock trucks are pretty quiet under acceleration. The rattling at idle is what kills it for me.

Sammy the price that you got the Ford for is killing me. I am in the market for a new car and swore I wouldn't buy new. Did you get 0.0% financing? I have no idea how used car dealers are staying in business when a dealer is offering a new car is 0% financing.

0% is available IN LIEU OF the big rebates required to get the price so low. Do the math and one option may work out better for your particular situation. Usually, I'd recommend the rebate to keep your options open for early trade or early payoff.
