Input on F-150 crew cab

Dammit - that one has the ****ty beige interior

The bumpers are cosmetic
If you hit a big dog or small deer they crumple easily

Plan on buying ranch hand or buckstop bumpers

Those things are great, but I've seen guys practically total a camry when they can't stop in time and hit barely doing 10.

Get the 5.0, I just bought a 15' 4x4 a couple months ago and it has been great so far. Really needed to go to the crew cab also, with grown boys. Tinted the windows and added a Solid Fold 2.0 tonneau.
Think I will leave this one stock for a while

Wife just picked up a new King Ranch Expedition and it has the Ecoboost V6. I looked for a V8 in that one, and was told that Ford no longer offers the V8 in the Exp, as they are all 3.5L Ecoboost engines now. Oh well, it drives nice, and is super fast, but gets less MPG than my 5.0

My previous ride was a lifted 04 2500HD that drove like a dump truck..got tired of climbing in and out of that thing. 25-30 years ago driving the jacked up trucks was fun, but no so much anymore on my old back...

Don't know yet. I'm picky - may be april or may before I fork over the money.

OK, so basic 4x4 vs FX4. I know the FX4 has the skid plates - worth it, or no?

You are not buying anything

But yes fx4 has better options google it and compare

I think better shocks too? But don't hold me to it
