FINALLY found a truck I REALLY like ~

My trusty old 1997 F-150XL RC 4.6, now 244,000 miles on it, still runs good, but I just cannot take a chance of a motor or tranny failure while out on the road with a trailer full of equipment behind it.

I looked at all my options and decided to STAY with an enclosed trailer, pulled with an F-Series (I just like the Ford F-Series so much better than anything else out there). I still like the '08 and newer SD's but they are still a little pricey for me, and I prefer to buy used, with low mileage, and let someone else take that first chunk of depreciation, so that will have to wait for a year or so.

I found what I wanted ~

F-150 SCab 4.6 STX - Stone/graphite ~ LOVE the combination of all power options w/ rubber floors. 4.6, yeah, I know, but that has proven to me to be a GREAT motor. I think that I may even prefer them in a F-150 (I have owned a 5.4 in a 1997 SCab Lariat) as I like their power curve and driveability.

Mods so far -

-Leather interior (from an XLT)
-Power Moonroof
-Clear corner lenses
-Protective clear coating applied to bumpers, lenses, wheels
-Bedliner material (matches Dark Stone body color exactly)
