New 2 Ford

I just puchased my first Ford. 26 F 150 xl 4x4 5.0 regular cab short box. I ordered in February, Just came in 6/3.
I have been a die hard Gmc fan for life, I am 72.
I was set to walk in to a Toyota dealer and buy a Tundra from the floor. I was alerted to major troubles in all Manufactuers products.
I did some quick research over a weekend and found the 5.0 Ford was the best engine to have. My 47 yr old has one a couple yrs old with tons of miles and has not had any issues.
Was not planning to buy another vehicle. I got tired of spending 2-3 thousand a year on what I was driving.
So, my new Ford is as plain as it gets. ONLY added option : running boards.
Fingers crossed, moving forward!!
PJA
