Going for a look

What better thing to do on a Sunday but head to the big dealership in the next town and walk the Ford lot and look at the new Fords. Of course the new F-250's and F-350's. No, I won't buy as I have a fairly new 2011 F-250 diesel Lariat Crew already but it is sure nice to look anyway. Hey, even a married guy sneaks a peek at the beach or mall right. Just have to be nonchalant about it. Or like a kid at the candy store with no money. Still nice to google at it right?

Great way to spend an hour or two. I just have to remember...no test drives as too enticing and keep the wallet in my pocket. Okay, time to psych myself up and remember, this is only to look at.

The real change will be the 2013.
I won't purchase but I will want to look when those hit the lots.
The only thing I noticed on the 2012 was a few of the dash controls were moved around.

Didn't the TCS off/on and hill assist buttons get moved behind the column shifter?
These are on the passenger side in the 2011.

Ok...maybe that was all. lol.

Man, this truck actually is so awesome that I have no desire to kill time at a dealership looking at trucks.


I do, however, want a VW Golf TDI 6MT.

X2...Been to a couple Ford dealers with the wife as we are shooting to get her a new vehicle this early fall, I don't even look at the superdutys on the lot, zero intention of getting rid of this truck any time soon.

looking

Well, the look on the big lot had lots of F-150's and only saw the one F-250 so a bust on the looking part. I got back in my truck, started her up and drove off the lot. Had one guy looking at my truck while I was looking at an F-150 Lariat and Harley Davidson. Way over priced in my book but hey, to each their own. Guess I will wait for the 2013 Heavy Duties as suggested. All in all a let down as thought I would be looking at lots of diesels.

I know, I seriously am curious how sales is going to go during that year. I'm hoping they throw bigger rebates at us.
