There are vinyl stickers that are easily removed and reapplied. In many cases they are called removable wall graphic vinyl. You want it to be at least 6mil thick and laminated, thicker is better here as it makes it easier to handle. They won’t last forever but you should get a year out of them.

Bought by dumbasses who are greatly impressed by plastic "chrome" and two tone paint. Fords look real good but are rotten to the core. Don't believe me? Buy an F-150 with the turbo V6 and find out for yourself.

I don't think anyone would argue that the ecoboost engines have their issues, but the 5.0 is solid.

Gas mileage is not much better than a Tundra, but if you can't afford a Tundra, a F150 is a good 2nd choice.

We had the same issue with our fleet when the F150's came out. WE have some kind of decal with a shite ton of suction cups that they bought that work alright assuming you didn't drive over 25 mph which is fine to get you onto job sites, but probably won't work for what you are needing.

I've only driven Fords for the last 10 years and I can't argue with this point. The only one out of the 5 I've had (I put 30K-40K miles/year on them) that was shite is the ecoboost.

Quantity over quality. Just think about it.

Aluminum body work....

Anyone hear about body shops needing special vented rooms for body work on aluminum...?

Was told it also cost a shite ton to work on them if needed... True?

Garbage: F-150


first off, we all know this list is a troll based off your 1 & 2

secondly, the high end GM models feel cheap. I've been driving my mom's denali the past week while she uses my truck and it blows. doesnt drive as well and the amenities/tech are 2nd rate.

my new platinum gets here Tuesday

Solid reverse troll volley.

I’ll be the first to admit, if I was only going to drive a truck for 80,000 miles the F150 is a great choice. It’s cheap and by some mysterious power seems to hold it’s value.

What issues are you talking about, specifically? And at how many miles?

it’s cheap compared to what? Please don’t try to say it’s cheap compared to other trucks, because then I’ll really know you’re talking out your arse.

I'm not talking about the King Ranch Double Platinum Limited Harley Davidson editions with dolphin skin interior. I'm talking a supercrew XLT, all any man would ever need. Brand new in the low 30's.

All of you saying "Ford is shite" "they're cheap" "Fords suck" "muh Ram"....


can you please give (in detail) with a real example why you think so? Because nobody ever actually is able to do so when asked.

It's groupthink among the truck nazis that Fords suck. Like a bunch of yentas just going along with the others.
