    There's WAY more power in this truck than my 5.4. Not even a comparison. The EcoBoost is Ford's strongest engine in the 1/2 ton trucks. 365 HP 420 FP torque. It hauls booty.

    And yeah, it's 4x4. No way I'd own a 2WD truck. Thats's grounds for man card revokation.

    Damn, I thought you got a mini-van.

    Nice truck. I love my 2011 XLT. And yeah the sinc is a neat feature, but road noise sometimes confuses the young lady taking directions. It works much better standing still.

    If I were getting a new truck today that is exactly what I would be getting. The new Fords are great from everything I read and have tons of room. We took that cab configuration to Canada for a bear hunt and boy was it comfortable inside.

    Congrats on a fine ride!

    I'm going to need another 3/4 ton, I don't even want to know how much they cost nowadays. :(

    You can just get seat covers and after a couple years though them away along with all the crap stuck/stained on them. Then you got brand new seats under. BAM.

    Nice ride you got yourself there!! My 2011 F-250 has been alright so far. Too much cab noise already though for my liking. But then again I live on one of the worst state highways In the state of Minnesota. Pot holes everywhere. Cheap *** state!! Pisses me off!!

    Entirely too much, that's for dang sure.

    Just out of curiosity why do you need a 3/4 ton?

    Congrat's!! I'm looking around my self right now. But will probably wait till spring when the new models are out and they are looking to dump the 2012's. I have a Tacoma now and if I go to a Tundra I gain a whole lot of truck and better gas milage. Never understood why the MPG on small trucks suck? I get 16-19 mpg with mine :(

    Against your better judgement? Hell, this might be the smartest thing you've done in years. LOL Looks like a very nice ride. I want something just exactly like that.... but I don't want to pay for it. I have my 05 Dodge Dakota with 125,000 miles I'm going to drive until it drops dead. Then I'm getting an enclosure for my 4 wheeler. LOL
