"Been a Ford guy all my life and will be a Ford guy all my life"
But you had a Chevy Silverado Pickup you traded in, and you also had a Dodge Truck before that?
That makes alot of sense???
Just seems funny to me all these newbies comeing on here complaining about Fords.
Doesn't make it right to bash California's, isn't that negative crjackson? Calling someone a Cheby Boy, jumping in on the bandwagon crjackson?
I just see so many New users complaining about Ford, and then saying how good there Chevy or Dodge was/is. I will keep my opinions to my self, not draw a conclussion.

That's a fact, JACK! (and thanks for all that flack)
Anyway, I'm occasionally disappointed in the power from my 4 ton tank with 1500 pounds of stuff in it when I can't lay down two black "I was here" 's. But that's not gonna make me run out and buy a 'burb.
But if there's a band wagon to jump on, go ahead and I'll be happy to pull it with my X

[QUOTE=jdadamsjr]Welcome to FTE !
Guess, you did get the 5.4 gas engine ... And I would be underwhelmed with it too in a 7K lb Ex too..
By the way, who's X weighs only 7k?
And Jack? We are nuts. We live in CA. We have to be nuts to leave our $1,000,000 house, drive an 8000 pound vehicle in traffic for 1-2 hours to go 25 miles! For what? Work? I can work anywhere, but I work here. Because I'm nuts.

To pops_91710: It would seem to me that if you are upset with "California bashers" you would be equally upset with the person that made the initial comment.
Face it, you handled it wrong! You escalated it into a "we against ya'll thing. ("There is a reason why we call you guys California NUTS!!!")
Just in case you are interested, my V-10 kicks butt and it has 173K on it...

Hey bud. I'm a new user too. Just to let you know my X is awsome off the line. I keep up with most cars from the light who think they are going to pass the BIG X! Even when loaded. We love the power it has. We have the V10 as well. You should have it checked out.
Just a simple reply.

Yeah, I'm with you there JD! But that's why they put the V-10 in most of 'em, right? Plenty of power. Unless somethings wrong with it.
Hottshott should get his pplant checked out. Maybe he could get it looked at out here in CA where we're crazy enough to test it in the dirt after fixing it
