He probably would Steve. With it being 4x4 as well it has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier sometimes. But I enjoy it and I have been working it pretty good since I bought it. Already towed my trailer to Florida and back to help a friend with clearing out a house from a deceased relative. That trip put 2000 miles on it in a weekend.

That it is Steve. Just took it in for its second oil change it is pushing 13,000 miles now. Only had 12 miles on it when I bought it.

Very much so. 2010 F150 FX4 super cab with 77k miles on it. I am amazed at how smooth it rides and it get down the road really good. My wife likes this better than the old one because she can actually reach the pedals to drive...lol. They are power adjustable.

My friend that I helped back in february would say the only downside to the truck is the fact it loves guzzling gas down. I told her I didnt buy it for the fuel economy.

No it doesnt Steve. It rides like a 3/4 ton truck. I have the fx4 package and the snowplow prep package so I have the heavier springs on it. I also have the optional 200 amp alternator.

I have the 6.2 Liter gas engine under the hood Steve. It is a great motor so far. Probably the biggest thing that hurts my fuel economy is the fact I have 4.30 gears in the axles.
