Getting bored

so I might as well tell you now. I bought a 2006 F150 XLT crewcab 4X4 with a 6'6" box yesterday. It is grey with silver along the bottom and it also has the XTR package. It's a 5.4 with 3.55 gears and has 51,000kms on it. I pick it up tuesday as they have to put new tires on it and it needs a good cleaning after the test drive yesterday. After going for many test drives I decided on this one. When I started this search I had planned on getting another diesel but after looking at several I kinda drifted back towards the gasser, besides I still have my 7.3. I should have some pictures tuesday or wednesday.

Awesome, I like these years of Ford trucks and think that they`re sharp. The prices are all over the map though.

You got that right, I have seen about a $4000.00 price difference for basically the same truck depending on who is selling it.

Right on Colin, those are very nice trucks. Awhile back I was kinda half looking for one (04-09 models) out here as a second truck, but decided to kill two birds with one stone and get another diesel, for yanking the hoe around.

Im sure you will be happy with it, they are great trucks.

Got my truck home yesterday and yes I am still grinning. I am enjoying the extra room, the four doors and the 4X4 already. Man where the streets in MJ terrible.

Congrats Colin.
At $11,900 this 05 XLT 4x4 is so tempting!
