Narrowed the choice down to 2...

Thank you everyone for all the replies to ALL my questions. We have narrowed our search down to 2 F150 6.2l lariats.

Vehicle 1

Vehicle 2

Again thanks for the help and being patient with us during this process. Hope to be able to post pictures of our new vehicle.
  • According to my local Ford dealer, try are now taking orders for 2014 models. He said not a lot is changing for this model year. He said it should take 6-8 weeks to get them in. Something to think about

    $2500 for in dash nav? Ford is insane



    True but look at all the paper that is being saved by not buying maps. :D


    My Droid gets me where I need to go. I have a co-navigator in the passenger seat that runs it:)

    I'm also fortunate enough to have a son that works for Garmin that can get me anything for 45% off MSRP. Still haven't really felt the need to have Nav in a vehicle. They're cool but I just don't want to have to learn how to use another electronic thing at 60.


    Even at full retail a lot cheaper than $2,500!

    If you are buying used, keep looking better to get a F250, towing experience would be better.
  • While its not my purchase decision obviously, I would also get an F250 with a 6.2L. Even if it takes longer to find one. You obviously hang on to a vehicle for a while, so if you would decide to upgrade trailers the F250 would give you many more options and it would not be working on the ragged edge like a F150 would be with the current trailer. About the only downside would be less ride quality, in the F250. If your going to be feeding a 6.2L anyway you might as well put it in a more capable tow package like the F250.
  • That thing is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations

    3.73 gears?
