Ive seen there is already a couple guys here from sk and a few from Canada in general! kinda different to see on a forum lol.

So I have a 2007 F150 XL. Now this truck has the 4.6L V-8, Automatic transmission with overdrive, the 4 door regular cab package, Air and tilt but no cruise (yet), and its a long box with 6 bolt rims! Unfortunately it is not a 4x4 but it does have the HD suspension with tow package.

So how rare is this combo? I got half way through the truck picture thread before I couldnt do it anymore lol. I saw only 5 possibly 6 trucks with the 4 door regular cab option but i think they were all short boxes and one had the flare side (which is sweet!)



Pulled a camper this year, avg 17mpg whole trip

And my topper for it



My other ford. 1990 E350 w. 7.3idi and 4:10's

 

Welcome to FTE!

4.6L HD package and no 7-lugs? Hmmm that's a first. Nice looking rig though! Looks as though you put her to good use.

 

ya I thought it was 5 bolt. had a nice set of 19" all lined up, new rubber and everything, popped off the center cap, NOPE! 6 bolt! yet only 5 spoke rims..

 

Welcome to FTE!!

The 5 spoke with 6 bolt is pretty standard on these trucks. The rest of your rig is a bit strange because you have parts of the HD package but not the rest so its different.

 

I guess the best part of this whole deal is that i purchased it this summer for $6,000 taxes paid (pst was $600!!) with a fresh provincial safety, new tires all around, one new rim due to being rusty looking, new tie rod ends, new brake pads and a new windshield. When i got the truck it had 148,000 kms (92,000 miles) and was dealer maintained.

only work i have done to it was new sway bar linkages (it was wondering after turning a corner, i blame rough roads for that) , a new brake caliper (it seized up on me when on a trip of course...) and just lately a tune up of new plugs and a fuel filter. Just this week I had command start put in (which has messed up already and been fixed) so that the truck will have proper warm up times.

 

As far as I know there is no such thing as a 4.6L with 6 lugs with the heavy duty package. They were 5.4L with 7 lugs and 4.10 gears.

 

Yeah you can add an upgraded rear end suspension to the 4.6 but it only gives a slight increase to the overall truck. Its not the true HD package since it is only the 4.6 but it is better then the basic one.

 

not sure if this will clear anything up. sticker out of the glove box. it does have the 2" receiver with the 7 pin trailer plug and the trailer brake controller inside.

 

well so much for my truck

airbag burnt my wrist and i have major whiplash...

 

so you guys think its a write off? didnt push into the engine but the rad, supports, bumper, hood, grille, both headlights, both front fenders and bumper mounts are visibly damaged.

what i hit

 

That sucks brother. Sorry to see the pics of the accident but glad that you only suffered the airbag burn. Condolences on the truck . That damage does not look catastrophic but you never know what the insurance company will do. I am sure up there in Canada auto insurance companies operate similarly to down here totaling when the repair exceeds a certain percentage of the value. Surly the truck is worth more than you just paid for it, seems to me you got a pretty good deal when you bought it. Good Luck! Shawn

 

still in the shop getting fixed.. 9130$ damage to it. just shy of what insurance maximum to get it fixed.


so, anyone wanna buy a truck? lol

 

SO.. I got a TEXT message, not a phone call saying it was "done".. well sick as can be so i didnt bother. other day i stopped by and its outside. Well front bumper is not straight and they did not clean the interior from the airbag like what was supposed to happen.. so off to my adjuster i go!

 

she's back! $9400 later!




now who wants to buy a truck? lol

 

She looks as good as new!
