Finally got a vehicle I WANTED.
 
OK, I have always gone a milder route for my vehicles, meaning I've settled. This time I didn't, I finally got the truck I wanted...and I got a great freaking deal.

Sure, gas prices are going up...what the hell, now I have something that will reliably tow my boat and can take to the mountains. Good times...2010 model....

Great buy. We just bought a new F150 4x4 last week, love it.

billybek 02-18-2013 02:05 PM

Any experience with the f150 with the 6.2L?
Nice truck btw same as the one I was looking at today.

Nice truck!
 
Very good choice. Which engine did you get? The turbo V6 or the 5.0 V8? I have a 2012 F150 4x4 w/5.0 engine. Really great power and it is more efficient than my '06 F150 with the 4.6 V8!

BEAUTIFUL truck!

Needs bigger tires. :D

He bought a 2010. I would guess a 5.4. The 5.0 and turbo v6 (eco) were new in 2011 models.

If I was still a working man that's what I would get. Nice truck.

Exactly.

Buy and drive what YOU want . Not what everyone else thinks you should drive.

Agreed... I'm absolutely NOT a fan of the wagon wheel/rubber band look on a truck.

When I said bigger tires, I meant something more like this (random heisted from the internet):

the newer ford motors; did they address that stripped spark plug issue?

i do love those trucks. OP's looks nice. as i am getting older, i am perfectly fine with the OEM ride height and stance.

Looks good..... But noisy and bad for gas mileage...

Nice truck! Congrats! And thanks, you just helped my profit sharing (I work for Ford).

Roosterrusek 02-19-2013 03:33 AM

Yeah the 20120 has a 5.4. It rolls down the highway and I cannot wait to see how it pulls my boat....I suspect with ease.

Really, the thing is immaculate and this is definitely high on my list of good memory days.

If you don't check your mirrors, you'll probably forget the boat is even back there....nice!!!
