For anyone following (or tolerating...) my recent posts about my quest for a truck, well ... I went big.
Had been looking at Colorado/Canyon, but GM dealers just seemed too proud of them price-wise speaking. Sooooo... Just brought home a 2019 Ford F150 XL 4x4 supercab (not crew) this evening. I didn't get the entire $10K in rebates and discounts advertised but did get 9K off MSRP of $42,000 which brought it to 33K.
It's the truck I posted the equipment layout of in my other thread.
2.7 liter ecoboost V6, STX sport appearance pkg (20" rims, mesh grill, running boards, etc). The ten speed trans is a little clunky but not too bad. I can live with it. Only 11 miles on it at delivery this evening so it should smooth out and loosen up after a few hundred more. Has tow pkg w/ class three hitch receiver and electric prep, 3.55:1 axle ratio (locking rear diff). Kind of no frills inside but I don't want a lot of gadgetry in my vehicles. Does have the big touch screen like they all do anymore, the Ford Sync thing and all that. Color is called magnetic gray. Went there intent on getting the black one same exact equipment, but saw the gray and it looked so much better to me.
No intentions of towing anything it just had the pkg on it so there's that.
This is a lot of truck for only 33K, I have no complaints about value for the money, it looks and feels more expensive.
After driving a stick shift Subaru Forester around for 10 years, this thing feels like a *beast*. I will have to get used to the size. My Forester was rated 20/26 city/highway and this truck is rated 19/24. For the size and being a 4x4 I think that is somewhat amazing.
Here's a couple quick shots taken in the driveway earlier:
