I like the truck. However I don't like the letters but that isn't saying anything because I like the letters on my truck but i still took them off.

I love Ford trucks, and I think the F150 is the best looking truck out there, but man the SCrew with the flareside is pretty bad. Looks very... unproportional?

It's SO ugly! I didn't even know you could get that as an option either on those things! If you can't then he musta done a bed swap with a Scab.

I couldn't disagree more about the Screw Flareside.* I happen to own one and I get nothing but compliments.* But it is a matter of taste, as I see you own a Toyota and I think they are pretty ugly, but like they say, to each his own. 0

Haha yeah, I think the Toyotas are ugly too (growing on me slowly). That's why I put the RH on the front lol. Gotta hide the ugliness.

The reason I got a Toyota is b/c of the side airbags and traction control that the F150 don't offer. I would still MUCH rather drive the F150 or, dare I say it, pay the repairs for a Chevy to sit in the shop than drive a Toyota. I'd still drive a Toyota over a Dodge though

Haha if I seriously got banned from this site b/c I drove a Toyota, I'd be very disappointed. I probably bleed bluer than most folks here. Reason I drive a Toyota is cause of my folks. If I had it my way, I'd be in a Super Duty or an F150.

And no, the new Tundra's aren't worth a damn.

Lol, I would if I could - but I can't. It's a Toyota for now - until I can drive what I want. ('02 F350 CC SWB 7.3)

What makes the Toy not worth a damn? I'm a Ford loyalist but I think Toyota did all the right things right as far as 1/2 ton trucks are concerned. If I fell out of l ove with Ford, I'd have one.

All the things right with half tons, please, cracked tailgates, bad camshafts, transmission problems, excessive bed bounce. The only thing they got right was making a powerful truck.

Builtfordtough got it right but those are just the minor faults with the Tundra.

What makes it not worth a damn is that they're giving a whole, whole bunch of rebates on 'em right now. You could pretty much get one for about 10grand off without even trying. We got a great deal back a year ago and that was as low as they'd go.

It's a great truck and I've come to enjoy it a lot but I still miss my Ford. Blueford was by far the best car we've ever had. It was always as blast to drive even though it didn't handle as well as the Tundra or have the speed. Boy, it was an amazing car to drive and I loved it. When I went home for x-mas break, that was the only car I drove even though my Tundra was there lol.

Blueford was my Blue Expedition. 1998 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4 4x4. Served us approximately 150k miles.

It survived backing into our 4runner (took out the headlight, fog, bumper, and almost the quarter panel but that got saved luckily), hitting the side of the garage (younger brother, hence why I got a new car), and my little brother trying to kill it by running it out of oil (1/2 quart left). It was a hoss. Ran well for a few K after my brother tried to kill it but my dad sold it when he got an incredible deal on another '08 Sport Trac for himself.
