Wife probably owns show horsies. :fm:

"Buy a really expensive Ford pickup," they said...

:D

They are obviously a *real* patriot.

:rolleyes:

$9 says she has show horses.

:D

ETA: seems El Chup beat me to it.

Stellantis? Pretty sure you can you can bank on reliability being shit.

:D

Well, that's fuckin' dumb, but good to know.

I've always referred to the 6' bed as a "standard" bed.

Short beds are stupid.

:D

Someone at that website is confused:

6'6" Bed Length (Short)

:confused:

You're wondering if it's a head gasket, aren't you? :D

Does it have a 6' bed?

If only there were some way to carry more stuff with a smaller vehicle... but you know, that's an impossible dream. Better to just get the Behemoth for $35K more. :D

My 5.0l F150 is going into the "specialist" tomorrow to figure out why cylinder #4 is showing low compression (90psi cold/120psi shortly after start).

Anybody ever heard/had such an issue? I'm...

White smoke? Maybe head gasket?

For a little truck?? :confused:

One of my father's favorite pieces of poetry:

Of course, they can.

Goddammit.

I meant to type Texas Wheelchair© so you fuckers couldn't steal it. :mad:

Ah, well - watchya gonna do. Cat's out of the bag. Water under the bridge. And so it goes...

:D

Would you be parking the ATV and Texas wheelchair in the 3rd bay?

Yeah - stick a GC and a Land Cruiser in the hands of the clueless housewife and the Cruiser is gonna last DECADES beyond the death of the GC. Guaranteed.

I'd bet dollars to donuts you CAN. :D

That's GOTTA be a typo - perhaps he meant Land Rover?

Similar to how nobody buys a Jeep because they want the pinnacle of reliability. :D

If your concern is reliability... ;)

I just checked, and I'm seeing F150's in my truck's vintage that have similar mileage (135K) priced at $26K. WTF?

I got the 5.0 for the same reason in 2014. No regrets - 136K on the clock and the shop said I don't even need plugs yet.

20mpg hwy is not uncommon, get around 15 in the city.

Seen recently:

2016 Ram 2500 · Lone Star Pickup 4D 6 1/3 ft
$34,900 · Somerset, KY
2016 Ram 2500 SLT Lone Star. Has the 6.7 Cummins, 163k miles
...

Yeah - there's a reason for that.

We have a '97 Outback we've owned since new, and that goddam thing still has the original exhaust system.

In fact, I have *never* had to replace an exhaust...

I'd def hesitate with trucks from anywhere that uses shitloads of salt...

The 5.0L is a good motor. "Decent" mileage and decent power. Reliable, from all accounts.

I got a button that turns off traction control... but my F150 is older, so YMMV.

Turn off traction control, pull out to lock the rear diff, and...

Hell - we ran into issues with a 6.5ft bed in this situation... ended up borrowing a hitch-mount 4x rack from a buddy.

March, 1996 - the last time I had Taco Bell.

Fuck that place. :mad:

I can routinely get 20mpg on highway trips. Unless it's through Wyoming, then I get like 16. [emoji2959]

FTR, the Ford 5.0 gets reasonably decent mileage... for a full size truck. :D

Srsly. I'm thinking I could get $20K for my '14 with 135K miles...

Bed's are all useless. :fmicon:

Jeezus old, high mileage F150's are going for ridiculous money, ain't they? Almost think I should sell mine...

I don't think I've ever paid more than $275 to replace a windshield on a vehicle here in Colorado - and I've had a bunch replaced. I don't even *know* if my insurance covers it. I just pay the...

I was just giving Montuckyfucky shit.

:fmicon:

Good to know.

:fmicon:

My F150 with 6.5' bed gets around 20mpg on the highway... can I complain about environmental things?

Not in that tiny-ass bed, you aren't! :D

Guys with tiny-bed trucks sure are sensitive.

NTTAWWT.

:D

You could have just stopped here.

:fmicon:

Yeah - maybe buy a small, fuel-efficient car for that? :confused:

Just spitballin' here. :D

Yeah - those people should just get a fuckin' minivan.

:fmicon:
