Since it uses the F150 cab, the back seat room is unbelievable. The front is the same as prior years. The big advantage is that I have the pano roof, which really gives the big room feel.

I'm comfortable with the 3.73. I was messing with the manual mode of the transmission on the way home from Maine, and it seems that setting the cruise at 75, and putting it in manual mode in fifth gear was the best option with that trailer. We lost a couple MPH going up the hills, but nothing drastic, and got our best MPG. I'm sure we could have gotten better MPG with a slower speed, but the drive was long enough. No need to make it longer. Towing in Tow/Haul mode on the way up to main was more uncomfortable. Lots of shifting, and high RPM hills made for a noisy,jarring ride, but it didn't have any trouble keeping 80 MPH. I just prefer the quiet smoothness.

$1500 seems like quite the typo on the 94. Mine was $3k and not nearly that nice.

I suppose it'll take some getting used to, but I hope you're enjoying the truck for the most part. Color me jealous.

Ford Rear Fenderliner Kit, and WeatherTech Mud Guard installs were on the agenda for today. Looks much nicer.

Thank goodness for dead pixels on my iPhone camera sensor, or I might think my truck was dirty.

Afternoon everyone, been a while!

Justin, that f250, pretty sure that's a scam ad, I ran into a bunch like that looking for my f150. They show a picture of an unbelievable truck with a super low price and not a single detail is mentioned in the ad, and when you click the picture, it doesn't enlarge to a full size, I saw a lot of these like that in hawaii too, and basically every where I looked. Also ad title says auto then the description says its a 5-speed!

Here"s another example of that exact ad currently running, you'll notice all the same stuff, this ad also claims 20" factory wheels, which there were not for those year trucks:

Morning all

drove up to the Berkshires yesterday. No snow anywhere. Needed diesel and was on route 20 and all the stations were at $2.59 a gallon. When I got to Lee there was a Big Y gas station and was advertising diesel for $2.49. Kathy said see had a Big Y card so we stopped and with the card (that we use very little) the price was $2.44 instead of the $2.49. Thought that was cool.

Looking forward to the inauguration on Friday. Should be a real circus. Just waiting to see the crowds of cheering and or cry-babies and how it turns out.
I'm neutral at this point and just looking for good entertainment.

Good evening, yeah Kyle it must have been. I just clicked on the link and the posting was flagged for removal, must have been reported or something.
