Looking at 2012 F 150

[bmac107]

Hello. I'm new here and wondering others opinions on the 2012 F 150 ? 90% sure I'm ordering from factory this week. Ian looking for solid factual discussion about advantages of this truck over other models. I'm looking at crew cab XLT with all packages... Chrome, convenience, tow, plus. W/ Eco boost. Your thoughts?

Sounds like its going to be a great truck.

Thx

I like the ecoboost so far. This is my first Ford truck and I am generally impressed with the handling and amount of space inside the cab.

I drive a 97 ranger now, bought brand new in feb 1998. Liked that truck, very dependable.cant wait to get the keys to the new one '

sounds good, but I think I still like 5.0 better. i just wouldnt want to be stuck with messed up turbos after warranty is messed up and the miles rack up on them

That's not all true my friend. The Ecoboosts come with a limited lifetime powertrain warranty. Meaning anything goes wrong with the engine or Tranny and its covered. Coverage will be voided if you modify the truck. So as longas the powertrain stays stock it'll be covered.

Dealer called today, got a production date of March 16. Delivery 1-2 weeks after that. Going to be 6 weeks on the dot on that schedule.

A little bummed today, dealer called and my new truck got delayed by a week. Won't be going to the assembly line for another week. Meanwhile, I get to drive my wife grandfather's minivan. Blah!

Bummer man. You can't go knocking on the minivans, that is my second vehicle. Lol.

[bmac107]

My wife drives one too. Lol

my wife keeps steeling my truck so I'm thinking about giving her mine and get me a new one :)
mine is the supercrew W/ecoboost tow/off road/xlt etc dark blue

That's pretty much what I ordered in the same color. Got the reverse sensors too invade the wife thinks she's gonna drive it.

No off road but I got the plus package.

Dealer told me the truck was built but I looked at the window sticker and it says it will be built on the 19 th? Any thoughts?

[jolayiv]

Maybe there was a set back on the line. You'll get her man. I can't imagine how anxious you are waiting.
