fly Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks to everyone in the vehicle room for your suggestions. This is my new 2010 F-150. It has the 5.4L V8 engine. Basically the same thing I had except 10 years newer, (193,000) less miles, and a crew cab instead of the supercab. Ten years ago I remember thinking (that back seat is pleanty big enough for car seats). Now my kids are 8 and 9 and they were very cramped. In addition the older supercab didn't have head rests in the back, the crew cab does. It also has side airbags. My first visit to a dealer resulted in a 4,300.00 trade in amount for my old truck (pictured to the right). Edmunds has my truck listed as being worth about 3,400.00 (trade in). My second trip to a different dealer resulted in a trade in of 5,500.00 (same amount for the new truck). My 3rd trip to the second dealer saw a trade in of 6,000.00. My fourth trip resulted in a trade in of 7,800.00 that sealed the deal and made me very happy. Amazing how much things can vary from one dealer to another. It will be nice hauling my camper and kids to the Smokies in June and then to idaho to hunt bear. Edited March 26, 2011 by fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Man, that's sweet. I'd bet I'll be in the market for a new truck in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Nice truck! My buddy has a 2010 F150 4.6L, they are really nice trucks. I've always been a Chevy man but I've got to hand it to Ford with the new style trucks they have, they did a great job on them. Love the interior! Hope it serves you well!

fly Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks everybody. The SYNC feature with Satelite radio is pretty cool. I never had a smooth talking lady guide me to my destination and play any music or even song I want to through voice activation. They were features I didn't want (came with the hard to find 2010 model I wanted) but really like them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Congrats Frank...but a FORD??? LOL Yea, Ford didn't take the government bail out and I had great performance and reliablity out of my 2001 F-150. This decision was realted to the one I aksed you all to remember me in prayer. (Not to buy a Ford, Dodge, or Chevy, but other stuff). In spite of the snow I must say things are looking a bit better these past few days.
