It should settle it a lot more for sure, there is not much on the ground, maybe 4 inches is all...

Good evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Sean, and John!

Howdy Don!

Was looking for a new truck for my neighbor down the street. He totaled his '16 chebby, gm discontinued the regular cab short box but Ford still builds one. There is one at our Ford dealer in East Peoria.

Got to get him in a Ford.

That's great that you're on the mend.

It took the neighbor 3 years to find his stripped down chebby. Found him a 5L F150 XL in your color for 3 grand more than he paid for his chebby.

Now if it doesn't take him 3 years to decide he'll have a great truck.

He used the excuse, Fords cost too much, three years ago. A Ford XL has more standard equiptment than his chebby, and he paid 30 grand for it.

I told him that you buy a Ford only once. He's had that chebby in for repairs more than I think is acceptable.

He paid $30K for the chebby and the Ford is $33K.

Sounds like an easy choice for you and me, but a Chevy guy isn't that smart...

Shouldn't be to hard for him to decide his boss man bought Ford's for his construction business and Jeff drove a 98 F250 light duty home every night for 200,000 miles.
