Red Truck

[Howling]

Had both cars down for repairs and a bunch of travel to see family this weekend. Friday afternoon went to dealer and bought a new truck.



2016 F-150, crew cab, 2.7 Ecoboost. First 30 hours of owning it I put 450 miles on it. Rides nice and plenty of room. It is getting just over 21 MPG, little better then my 1997 Ranger. MSRP of $45,870, got price down under $38K. All in (taxes, registration, etc) the F-150 was just under $41K. Little over twice what I paid for the Ranger at same dealer 19 years ago.

The spray in bed liner has been nice in the Ranger. Has anyone done it on these new aluminum boxes?

Nice truck!

That Ranger looks to be in nice condition as well!

I bought a red van about 30 years ago and still have it... always looked nice and got me out of a few parking tickets... keep a Fire Department hat on the dash that a friend gave me 25 years ago!

Nice truck! I have the same one except mine is silver with the fx4 package.

Picture angle and matching spray paint help. My youngest is starting to lay claim to the Ranger. So may not stay nice for long.

I couldn't see the Nissan Logo - was the truck just facing the wrong way?

The dealer had the LineX spray in liner done before I bought my truck. I'm very happy with it, so far. And it looks like your truck might be Ford's "race red" like my model that now has over 18k miles on it.

No Nissan. 3 Fords in the driveway and a Subaru back behind the island.

My sympathies being saddled/stuck with that many ford's - must be depressing
