Not bad looking, though still if you want a desert truck get a desert truck.

Its a ford. Youll have to run premium, and if you hit a whoops section at 60 somethings bound to fall apart.
EDIT- especially with 12 inches of suspention travel.....

Have you seen the step on the tailgate? I swear if you weigh more than 150lbs it will snap off. and plus if your buying a TRUCK meant to haul stuff you have to be manly enough not to need a friggen step to get into the back of your truck. I mean c'mon.

I think it looks pretty nice I would buy one if I was looking at buying a truck. I think I would rather have a sport bike though.

Exactly, the other 2 car companies are whining about how much money they need, but Ford... nope.

What is it with ford bashing, personaly I like Jeeps (YJ, TJ, ZJ, ZJ/WJ none of the compass or new type trash...) but why, other than just brand loyalty, I mean I like the looks of chevy/gmc more often, but I hear all this about fords falling apart all the time, but I have yet to see it. They seems like great cars...

On topic, that looks pretty cool, the grill is terrible, I wonder what the $ is...

If you were really manly you'd do this to a truck yourself.

its just that ford people think they have the best thing around when their not, my friend just got a new f150 and its been to the dealer 5 times already with the check engine light and it blew a head gasket, yet my silverado is turning 4 years old and only been to the dealer once and that was because when i got it it had a scratched up bumper and they said bring it in once we get the part and they would replace it free of charge.

that must mostly be with the f's series trucks then. my family has had 4 expeditions and a freestyle and haven't had any moderate-serious problems.

I WOULD! If i had the cash i would take a chevy half ton and do longtravel on it along with a 383 stroker, and smoke the crappy ford.

Heck yes, thay look so sik.

Im going to end the argument with me and everyone who disagrees with my view of ford.
Because if everyone was the same and had the same opinion as averybody else the world would be quite dull.

Almost every popular car has aftermarket grills so thats easily taken care of. This would be the perfect truck for someone like my dad 9 miles of offloading to get to his house.

GM=Traxxas T-maxx
Ford=HPI Savage

There is a reason that GM trucks have a bigger aftermarket. They NEED it. Same with the T-maxx.

ThunderbirdJunkie is a Jeep guy and a Ford CAR guy. This is an unbiased response, especially with him being in the automotive industry.

The Ford F150 is superior to the Chevy C/K1500. Of all years, aside from the '73-87 years of the K10.
