lew Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) I purchased a new 2010 F-150 and picked it up from the dealership last night. I went with the 5.4 litre, 310 HP so it'll be good for towing the new boat and the 4x4 with 18" wheels will come in handy when I move north to snow country in February. It's got a folding, hard tonneau and I had the spray in bed liner applied too. Also got the rear mounted camera to make backing up to the trailer tongue a bit easier. I'm heading north of Peterboro this morning so it'll be good to get the feel of it on the hiway. Edited December 31, 2009 by lew
Greencoachdog Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Beauty truck Lew!!!... those red ones run faster than the other colored ones yanno!
tjsa Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Cool. Go easy on that throttle Lew, it will get you in trouble otherwise,
irishfield Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Great choice Lew!! But Red??? Oh ya.. hard to teach an old firefighter a new truck colour...
Ron Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Nice truck Lew! That 5.4 will give you pulling power like you wouldn't expect. I had the 4.6 in mine, brother had 5.4 in his. I got better fuel economy but not by much. I put 350,00 on mime, sold it and now have a Toyota Tundra. Brother did the same. His 02 ford with the 5.4, motor went out of it with 290,000.
Fish Farmer Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Toughest truck on the road. I have the same truck Lew, but wait till you price the tires for that thing . Congrats.
bigbuck Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Beautiful truck Lew!! Drive it in good health and may it give you hundreds of thousands of trouble free klicks!!!
Muskieman Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Toughest truck on the road. I have the same truck Lew, but wait till you price the tires for that thing . Congrats. While I was selling parts and wheels and tires... The BIG complaint with ALL Manufacturers is that there aren't too many choices for tires in the 18" 20" 22" that are affordable. When I left ,I had converted at least 20 customers to a 17" Wheel and Tire combo.... Way cheaper and a TON of choices. By the way...BEAUTIFUL TRUCK LEW!!!!! Congrats... RFS

Rich Clemens Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Nice ... she looks just like my Blue one. Hope ya like it as much as I like mine. Of course, sittin' up at Lakair getting covered by all that yellow pollen doesn't help the appearance any. Edited December 31, 2009 by Rich Clemens
Rich Clemens Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Very nice truck.. anyone want to buy my dodge or trade for a ford ?? Ha HA HA Lex - That's exactly what I did. Traded in a Doge Dakota for my F-150. Dang Gas Hog. 11-12 MPG pulling my boat just don't cut it. Now, I'm about 14+ with the F-150.
TroutnMuskieHunter Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Congrats Lew ....that sure is a purdy truck!!!....Almost enough to make me want to trade my lemon in and try again .......we'll see after February, if I'm offered a job from the new buyer that bought the company I currently work for in an auction
