My 2004 Chevy Silverado served me well for over 5 yrs, but with all the factory incentives it was time to trade it while it was still worth something and before anything really expensive to fix broke. I've had more Fords over the years than any other brand so it was time to go back, that and I really like the new F150's! Between $9000 in factory incentives and my vendor discount it was a pretty easy decision, and the first Ford dealer I stopped at offered a good deal on a truck I liked!

My 2006 Accord is my daily driver and will be with me till it hits 300k, so the truck is the vacation, hunting, fishing, fun trip vehicle!

    Sweet, I am really happy with my 10 Ranger as well. Ford has come along way over the past decade. I really like the Raptor.

    I offered to put the first dent in it for him so it would be a "real" truck but he declined.:frown::tongue:

    The weathertite bed cover is on order, that way when H9 buys another pair of SDA's and we need to haul them home they'll be safely tucked away!

    I'm usually more of a Chevy truck guy than a Ford, but the new 150's do look sharp.

    I have never been a huge Ford fan :( but I can say they do make a nice truck.:) That or the Mustang would be my only choices from Ford.

    How about some details. Engine, Interior Fabric/Leather, Options? Inquiring minds want to know...

    Good luck with it. Hope it lasts a long time.

    Congrats:smile:
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
