I have an old 7.3 that will outlast all of this new shite I’d take $60k for.



Does it have Apple play and air conditioning for my butt hole?

If so I’ll take it

This is literally the worst time in the history of the motor vehicle to buy a truck


Possibly, but it may also be as good as its going to get.

I didn't want to say this on the OT, b/c of the stigma...but I'm paying cash.

I believe you have it backwards. Majority of issues are the 8 speed not the 10 speed.

Just bought an F-150 last weekend. Absolutely love this thing. It drives like it’s gliding It’s a V6 eco because I don’t pull trailers or boats. I just travel and stay in hotels and I don’t go mud riding so I couldn’t justify spending 4-5k more on a 4WD.

Im 100% happy with my purchase

ETA: I’m about 98% happy. This is my first Ford and can’t stand the auto stop feature.

Nah, none of that soft-handed sissy shite but does have a tape player.

I'm honestly debating dropping my tundra for a 6.9 idi I saw. I'm a little spooked at it being under 30k original miles though. Not wanting to replace every damn gasket/seal.

The odometers could be disconnected on those. I had a 91 7.3 that I monitored speed via the tach. You won’t win any races with that truck either. Lol

The AT4 and Trail Boss are odd choices for a daily driver, but it's your money.

This is my first Ford
I just bought a Ford last month. Its the 1st Ford I have ever owned. This 3.5 Ecoboost is the shite, I love it. I do pull a trailer and a boat quite often and am totally convinced this thing would drag any of my 5.3's around the block.

Is the Ford 4cylinder worth purchasing,


the fact you would even consider asking about, much less think of buying, a 4 cylinder truck means you have to give up your man card and start wearing a man bun hair style

This comment makes zero sense. The 3.5 ecoboost is the torque monster of the Ford line up. My last 150 had the 3.5 Ecoboost, ten speed transmission 3.55 rear end, rear locker and it was an absolute animal.

The one I am driving now is a 2019 Platinum with the 5.0 (got a good deal on it) but the power is lacking from my ecoboost. It is a slug.

The fact that either one of you don't know that ford doesn't put a 4 cylinder in an F-150....Man cards please...
