Went to a small local dealership after I sold my tahoe, saw a 2000 z71 I was about to buy it then literally looked down a few trucks and saw the 2003 XLT FX4!

My old neighbor runs his own car buying company. Tell him what you want and he'll find it for you. I knew I wanted an F-150 and I got a great one.

My buddy decided to sell his and offered it to me before anyone else cause he knew I loved the truck and needed a vehicle. Despite all the work it needs I still love it.

Well my 03 is prob the best story. I went to Utah to see a friend in the air force. I flew out there. Had a round trip ticket lol. Was there for two days. And I was in the market for a 150. We went passed the local ford dealership. And the it was sittin in the truck coral. I made em stop. I looked at it. Saw the price and was like ehhhhh. To much. The basterds gave me the key and said take it home tonight and see if u like it. I pulled outa there sideways. Turned around went back to the dealer and said I'll take it. Lol. Drove it from Utah to New Jersey a week later.
The 14'? I was checkin out the tremor they had and my wife liked this one. I said 5.0 or Eco? Wife said 5.0. I said its comin home lol

Good thing your wife is around to keep you a true V8 guy lol. My girl is about the same way but I'm kinda jealous of yours supporting everything car-wise you do lol. Not that mine doesn't or anything.

Had a 98 1ton 4x4 chevy . On my way to work one day it started knocking. I stopped buy the first dealership I seen. Told them I needed a truck that fit 5 people and was 4x4. I drove a dodge Chet and a ford Stx fell in love with the ford. It was a 2011 with the 5.0. I totaled it 6 months later. Did the same thing at the same dealership and wound up with the one I have now.

Shopped around for a powerstroke for 6 months decided I didn't want that big of payment. Called a dealer an hr and a half from home about an f150 took off to look at it. Passed a little dealer on my way that had 10 cars. I fell in love and took her home that day been happy ever since! Except when I'm sitting next to a 6.0 powerstroke and hear that turbo whistling like a jet it still sends chills up my spine and makes me want one bad!

Not a 6.slow you don't lol. They sound cool, but when it comes to problems and maintenance they're far from it haha. I'd go with a 6.4L or the badass Scorpion 6.7L and just put an exhaust system on it to make it sound beastly like it truly is lol.

6.0's don't scare me I've been around to many now to see what's going on lol. If someone was really conserned put 2k in it and bullet proof her. The 6.4s I was around were trashing bearings like no other. Don't get me wrong 6.0s had issues and by 05 they were pretty much sorted out. Id take the 6.0 over anything if I had the chance and money

Yeah they were good and sounded awesome, just saying they did have a lot of problems. The 2015 update of the 6.7 is gunna be awesome though, ramping up up almost everything on the whole truck, supposed to have a HP increase and about 50 added lb-ft of torque. Gunna be the best Powerstroke yet.

Ha, thats only if you are one of those people that needs the Platinum and all the goodies available. Just messing around on Ford's build and price I made one for a little over 50k. Given that's still expensive as the diesel engine is an $8,000 upgrade in itself, if you tow or have use for heavy payload capacity it's worth it.

That's true it is worth it in that case. Good thing thing there's people to spend all that money so I can buy it used haha
