How's this for a B-Day present!

Very nice Magman, However as others have said I'd ditch the steel wheels ASAP as they make it look horrible. I'm taking a guess it has the 4.6L in it, I hope you don't plan on any heavy hauling if thats the case. The 4.6 is a good motor for a daily driver but I'd much rather have the 5.4L. I just got rid of my F-150 a few months ago for an Explorer Sport Trac, I miss the 150 though. The F-150 is tough as nails and rock solid truck. As long as you can afford to keep gas in it you'll be very happy with it. I like that you got the SuperCrew cab with the 4 regularly opening doors. Congrats and Enjoy it.

Believe it or not, my old v6 f-150 4x4 was getting worse mileage than this one. I drive fords at work so I know them very well hence this is my third one. I really wanted the crew cab, which in the XL model in this color was hard to find

FORD, CHEVY, GM, or whatever, at least you bought American and are supporting our economic situation, which will help get our economy restarted. I wish everyone would buy our own products for a while and help out before we end up a bankrupt country. Good lcuk with your new vehicle and have fun driving it.

Unless you buy Ford, you are bailing out the banks... Or whatever else the democraps are throwing our money at these days...

GM (gov't motors) and Chysler (crap motors?) took the money. What a great example they set for business in the US.

That's true, but the entire bailout scinario is nothing more than short term loans from tax payer money to help them get through the recession, and most of it has already been paid back anyway. So what difference does it make. We just purchased a brand new Chrysler to support our USA working class and our country. Bailing out the auto makers was not one of my favorite things done by our Gov, but it kept thousands of Americans from being out of work over the last two years, so maybe it was not such a bad thing afterall.

I totally agree with you Jerry in keeping thousands of people employed. I really hate to see people lose their jobs in any industry. However, I do agree w/linc in the fact that if the gov't did not bail these companies out maybe it would send a message to the companies as well as the rest of the nation to control spending and be a little bit more fiscally responsible... just my 2 cents worth

I've got the 4.6l in my 9000# handicapped van and it is a strong motor. I've got 183,000 miles on it and I plan on making it to 300,000. It run and starts like new.

The key to success with any vehicle is meticulous maintenance.
