New Lariat owner
My wife and I just traded in our 2005 Freestyle and my 99 Mustang Cobra for a 2006 Lariat Crewcab. I'm still in shock - this truck is so nice I feel like I'm riding in a limo and I'm much more wealthy than I really am (especially now).
6.5' bed, moonroof, 20 inch wheels, about everything except the homelink. Meh. I don't need a $120 garage door opener!
Pics tomorrow - we've only been home for about 2 hours and had to clean out the garage to fit it in in there.
Funny thing, is this all started two weeks ago with me looking for a cheap car to replace my Cobra since it wasn't being driven.
I'll be looking for a beater to drive to and from work. I've figured out I would rather have one really nice ride and one beater than two decent rides.

Hey lemosley, what color is your truck. You be right, the Lariats are a nice ride. Heck though ya should have done what I did. I kept the Mustang too, and bought a beater for my dailey. My wife drives the truck to work because she only does 5 miles round trip. I do about 90 per day.
Welcome, and Happy Ford Trucking!

congratulations...I have the same truck, all black and the back seat area is like a bedroom!
1 oil change so far and zero problems.
( It is not really a truck, but rather a Cowboy's Lincoln cleverly disguised as a truck.) Enjoy.

After having 3 other trucks, all Fords, this is my first Lariat with everything. This truck is great. I love it and would probably get another one. I have had it a year now and after the few problems right off the bat its been great. Enjoy it and welcome to the club.

Since I left there and moved to Saskatchewan there have been problems with vandalism at dealerships and one major hail storm.
Kind of reminds me of my barn cat whose whole family was killed by dogs the day after I picked her up!
