Another one in the Stable
Well after spending all afternoon and knocking about 7 off the MSRP(something that I thought was pretty good), I drove him this evening with a brand new 2010 Platinum F-150.
Don't worry I still have my 6.0, I didn't feel to bad with going to the 150 since I was keeping the 6.0 and I can use that for hauling. I just wanted something new for more of the day to day get around and hauling the light stuff.
I'll try to post pics tomorrow. By the time that I got done with everything it was pitch black out.
I guess I'll be hanging around the F-150 forums now too.

Congrats on the purchase....those are some sweet looking trucks.
Just don't let the old girl sit around and get jealous of you driving around on the new wheels.
Looking forward to the pics

Yep. 'Fraid I'm going to go with a new half ton this time around. The only one that would be sufficient for my situition would be a diesel and while they look good, I just couldn't swing it. Then I found out the v10 would only be in the bigger trucks so that didn't work. Then the 6.2 was told to me by a reliable source that if it was sufficient for my hauling needs, it would just be barely.
However, if I approached it as just a light hauling(stuff in the bed type of hauling, I don't own any bumper pull trailers) and DD type of stuff I could justify it and it would make the big girl last that much longer.
Although, I'm leaving this one totally stock. I did have them throw in a TBC, liner and hard top lockable bed cover in the deal too, but that's the only thing that's going on there extra.

Now if I can just remember not to go to the green pump when I'm in the thing.
So far I'm liking it as just a getting around vehicle. The 5.4 does a whole lot better job in the F-150 then it did in the F-250 that I drove for 2 weeks.
