Skud Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 She served me well. But I like the new one better. Ford sure made a crap load of improvements in just three years. I have three trips up north and one down south this year and I going to enjoy every km of them.
mercman Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 FORD TOUGH !!! Nice Truck. Picked up a Ranger sport XLT last year.Love Ford Trucks !!! Drive carefully !!!! Paul
BillM Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Doug, I hope you got the EcoBoost in that bad boy!
irishfield Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Nice Doug !!! Just like mine, only mine is platinum/gray. Those saying you'd better hope the price of gas stays down.. well my 5.0 litre 2011 gets better milage than my 2003 x 4.6 litre got, especially towing. Drove from Penetang to Toronto Sunday night (@ 118km/hr) on 11.2 l/100km Wait 'till you tow with it and see all the neat things it does. If you didn't already... and tow anything with electric brakes.. blow the $469 installed and get the factory controller that goes in that hole in the dash below the 2h/4h/4l selector.

MCTFisher9120 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I would get the same....correct brand, size, and well got to love the black. Nice Truck, wanna donate ur old one
ranksda58 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 beauty truck! i love the black it looks real slick...ford makes an amazing pickup im a ford guy through and through my first truck was a ranger edge 4.0lV6...unfortunately, got in a pretty bad wreck with her and she succumbed to her wounds at the scene was able to pick up a nice great SUV in the explorer, 4.0lV8, 4x4, love it...tons of room and great for the growing family
Skud Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 Didn't get the Ecoboost, they are selling faster then Ford can make them. I have the 5.0 like Wayne. The gas mileage is almost par on those two engines anyway. Already have the electronic brake controller too. My lease was up so I had to move on a truck . The one I bought had all the toys I wanted minus the larger tow mirrors. Will be keeping this one for a long time.
irishfield Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I wanted the pull out mirrors too Doug. Found the ones on the truck aren't 100% but better than the stocks on my '03 by a landslide. Will probably still buy extensions but will see how the view is with the boat on. The enclosed trailer's the worst and like I said it wasn't that bad for view ripping up to Temagami and back last week. Remember to do a power turn in the snow... you have to reach up and tap that traction control off button! Edited March 8, 2011 by irishfield
tb4me Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I was thinking I want one of these ford trucks..Sweet looking rides. Seen one here in Brantford lastweek.. http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=33186
Rich Clemens Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Sweet ride. We got a new F-150 a couple years ago and love it. Even my wife likes driving it. Pulls our boat with ease and better gas mileage than the old Dakota we had. The newer models are getting a bit better gas mileage than the 2009 we have. Time for an upgrade ? (I don't think she'll go for that yet) Edited March 8, 2011 by Rich Clemens
Dara Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I'm driving a Toyota tundra right now and can't wait for the lease to be up so I can get back into a Ford
bigbuck Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Nice!! I think my next vehicle is gonna be a Ford pickup. Dunno if I'm going to go SuperDuty or F150, time will tell when the time gets closer.
Skud Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 The truck is in today getting a diamond coat, Scotchgaurd and the front windows tinted. Got to take care of it before construction season kicks in and the abuse starts.
FUSION Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Sweet Truck, Loving my new 2011 with the new engine.
blaque Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I also have the same truck in white except i got the ATS tire (just a little beefier) Im not sure what the XTR model is? Haven seen that down in the states Love it, its my third in a row
Skud Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 The XTR has the larger tires with chrome rims and the running boards. It has more chrome on the truck over all. This is my 4th truck in a row and my wife is on her 3rd ford now(Explorer,Freestar,Expedition). Fords work for me.
lew Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Good looking truck Doug, I've got a 2010 with the XTR package.....EXCELLENT vehicles !!
BillM Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 I'm driving a Toyota tundra right now and can't wait for the lease to be up so I can get back into a Ford Billy Bobs head just exploded, lol!!!!
perchslayer666 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Truck looks pretty clean, I bet shes great for hauling groceries.
fish_fishburn Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Ford trucks are the best. Enough said.
