My old man's new truck ..
Since we bought the new travel trailer last month, my dads V6 F150 wasn't going to cut it pulling it around. And I refuse to let them take my truck at their will. So he picked this up saturday.
2009 F150 STX 4x4
4.6 3-valve
6 speed auto
3.73 gears
pretty much loaded. The STX package means no carpet basically, so that makes cleaning it much easier.

to be honest, ford comes well behind dodge and chevy as far as trucks go in my book. that driveline is just lacking.
but i guess if you really need that ipod adaptor, you're in luck.

I dunno, the big three seem to have a competition of who can make the biggest and ugliest front ends.

I like the new Dodge and GMC.
The Chevy Silvy looks meh. Looks wide and ugly. GMC is very nice.
