Who was it in here buying a new F150?

I just got an e-mail from Ford with $2000 consumer cash. I'm pretty sure these offers can't be transferred between individuals, but whoever was looking, glad to send you the code if you want to try it. T-mell me.

You must be looking @ the 350s not the 150s.

Rocking a Mercedes Metris for our company van.....it's been hella reliable and they're a bargain if you get them at the 2 year old mark or so.

If you time it correctly, a pickup truck is the only vehicle

I've owned where leasing was just a complete no brainer, even for people who usually despise leasing.
That F150 I had was a $55k truck that I paid $300/month for with nothing out of pocket for 24 months. If I had taken my usual route and bought a similar truck when it was a couple years old, it would have been priced in the upper $30's and I would have lost more than $7200 on it over the same 2 year ownership period.

Now, did you do truck stuff with this truck? After miles I worry about getting nickeled and dimed on dent, dings, scratches and the like.

I think they give you roughly $1000 in damage before they start charging. I had a good sized dent in the hood and a pretty good paint scrape on the bumper where my wife introduced the truck to the garage wall.

I got an absolute steal on a really nice LR3.
Nov 6, 2020, 9:33 AM

Too good to pass up, and I'm finding that the 05-09 Rovers are about as close as a Rover gets to reliable. In 2010 they went to a 5.0 Jag motor that just has a ton of expensive timing chain issues.
Anyway, bought this with the intent of giving it to my daughter in the spring when she starts driving, but I'm still in love with the truck and have begun adding some off-road-y parts to it, so who knows.

time period under warranty and then as free and clear 2nd vehicle my husband drove to the airport but it was #### near constant that something would go wrong. I finally got out of the Land Rover business a few years ago.
They are really prone to clogged drains and flooding... nightmare.

But we haven't decided on F150, Ram or GMC.
Will really depend on the truck, price, features, etc.

Just bought a Ram 1500 and love it
Nov 6, 2020, 9:39 AM

I works for me much better than my Ford 1500. I actually kept the Ford truck for our spare car. That way wifey and I can still go to work in bad weather with 4WD.
I used to have stuff in the floor board of the back seat but the Ram has side tool boxes over the wheel well which is really nice. Also the tailgate opens like a split gate which is easy on me instead of climbing over all the time to get in the back. Plus a V8 Hemi.

I am looking for a new one myself. I bought a 1500 Ram in 2015 it has an 8 speed transmission that increased the towing capacity to 12,000 Lbs. from 9000. I did not have to buy the more expensive 2500 Ram to pull my tractor. I don't like diesel powered vehicles. I am looking @ the Ram and a GMC. Ford went with a Aluminum bed not buying that for sure.

I have driven them and I know you have a lot more torque for pulling but the price of diesel and when not towing I would rather have a gas but that is just me. Have you ever driven one of the new hemi chargers?

Fast car, useless to me. I do the speed limit. I don't need the police harassment; I get enough of that for literally everything else I do.

Well me and the wife were out car shopping. She did not want a SUV, Cross over or mini van we had all those while the kids were growing up. All the kids are gone so we looked all day. Stopped in a Big O saw a nice looking hemi charger. The salesman said let take a test drive down I-85. We were going down the on ramp to I-85 and he told my wife to punch it. We got off on White horse and went back and bought it. She wants something else so not sure what we get this time but she will miss that power to get out into traffic. The 6.2L has more horse power than 5.7L. I want the 6.4L hemi but I doubt we will get one of those.
