I recently changed jobs and am getting a vehicle allowance, but the vehicle has to be less than 5 years old and less than 120,000 miles. I'm a cheap bastard, so I decided I'd buy used since I've got my dealers license and find one at auction.

Well, for a nice late model F150 4x4 Lariat or Platinum with less than 50k miles, even at auction they're bringing $30-40k! frick that!

I picked up a new 2014 F150 XLT Supercrew 4x4, Ecoboost, chrome package, off road package, 20" wheels, leather, backup camera, tailgate step, HID headlights, Sync and free oil changes for life for $36,000. No brainer.

Man that looks good. I wouldn't call you a cheap bastard. I'm looking for trucks under 15k . My high end vehicle was 20k lol.

very nice truck man, sounds like a solid deal.

Gone are the days of getting a 'nice' truck for under 30k.

congrats on the new truck. i almost bought the same truck in green gem, but i broke down and got a killer deal on a loaded out fx4 demo with 5k miles on it. i went from an fx2 that wasnt loaded to this one. also i went from a 5.0 to the ecoboost and holy shite its way
more powerful. nice truck and welcome to the ford family.


got some tint on it finally

I found a 2012 lariat there earlier this year. No one else could come close to their price. I have been happy with it so far.

I read you post in the Tundra thread about your experience with the price difference between Tundra and F150. About how much would a Tundra similar to your F150 cost?

I am getting the new vehicle fever and am going to start looking at trucks, just want the general info.

Does the chrome package come with multi-zone climate control? That's the main thing I need since my wife has raynaud's disease. Her extremities start freezing to a point of losing circulation so need to have that so she can pump the heat and I can keep my side cool. If the XLT chrome package doesn't have it, what package does?
