Well guys i am once again in the market for an f150. The burgundy one has not pleased me really so as of tomorrow. I sold her for a profit of $1600!!

Im eyeballing a one owner silver 05 fx4 supercrew though!!!

I don't get it, why the swap? You're trading one truck for a near-identical one with a different color? Usually its upgrading to a newer one or upgrading to the older one (10th gen FTW! lol).

Raptor is confuzzled

Well the biggest reason is this truck has made me weary. It has that slight diesel knock that is associated with cam phasers. Also many of the ranger guys know how clean and lint my ranger is. Well the fiddy is far from it. Its bugged me and i want a little nicer one. Also i want one that has not been smoked in. After driving red fir a little i smell smoke especially in the vents. So if i can find a newer (even if it is an 05) with no diesel knock spark olugs been changed, and that is alot nicer, i will. Im just too particular!

Like the 05 im eyeballing it is a one owner low mileage unit in a fantastic color with almost all the same options as my lariat. I think the only thing it doesnt have is the climate control. Ive just not been happy with the truck and i dont wanna drive it if im not happy. I get very attached to my trucks and i could care less about this fiddy really lol. here is the 05 im eyeballing:

Looks like the options it doesnt have that i have now are:

)Heated seats
2)climate control
3)seat memory

but it has nothing on the carfax (mine does), its a one owner, im the 4th owner of mine, etc....Ill find me something nicer. still sticking to an F150 though

Trust me guys, Scott like his vehicles clean and straight. He takes pride in his rides and takes damn good care of them. To be honest you could about eat off the intake manifold of his Ranger :D

Hope you find the one that you want Scott.

That silver is awesome, and who really needs heated seats anyway?

You've never used heated seats have you? Lol. I thought the same thing until I got a truck that had them, now I couldn't live without them! Ha ha

Ive always heard 04 since it was the first year of that motor and all. I know my 04ranger had that slight "diesel sound"

Wanting another Lariat or what?

yeah lariat or FX4

I am test driving this supercab to get a feel and test all my options. 05 Lariat All the same options as my 04, but its a supercab. I can tell you right now I can feel a difference in the motor and acceleration. It may have something to do with my old 04 being a Crewcab, but this white one gets up and goes. After work, im going to listen to the engine under hot Idle. I dont "think" I want this particular one, just wanted to test the supercab out. But if price is right, ill consider.

Also, ill be able to trade because evidentally no one want to buy the Ranger lol (if they do, they lowball me). I think I can get what I want out of it trading in to this partiular dealer since i know them. we will see. I am going to test drive silver one saturday if all goes well

Its a one owner as well.

Pasco, I like that Red one!

Youre not going to like a super cab with a carseat in the back, trust me. It works with my screw but its close, but Im taller too, so my seat needs to be back all the way. Also, I can tell you there is no difference between the 04's and 05's as far as power ect. they are the same exact truck.

I meant down to the motor wise. I think that other one was lacking power or something. I k kw they are same motors down to a t, but this 05is one rund better than the 04 i believe. No lag, no nothing

I know I texted this to you already Scott but for the sake of discussion here, this is my daughters seat in the back of my screw, it would be tight in a scab for sure.

If the driver is short and doesn't need the seat back as far it might work. I'm 6'1" so I have the seat all the way back. Scott are you a midget? Lol
