Wowzers... what do they do?

Hey sells stuff on Amazon. He’s got a couple warehouses, one up here in Missouri and another one down in Florida somewhere. He’s also into some other stuff as far as owning a lot of property in town.

I actually cut out most of that picture before I posted it. I just didn’t want to show the house.

Yeah but this is my office and I need a comfortable riding vehicle and options. That Cummins will go a lot more miles and do it more efficiently but I don’t want the truck that’s wrapped around that 12v motor. It would require four front end changes before the motor ever needed work. Mileage and durability is more important to you than me. I also want decent mileage and durability but I drive too many miles to keep a truck for a decade. I wish I could keep miles down because I probably would buy an old 12v ram truck. But why would I go buy another truck just to sit around? The company puts the fuel in this one and the benefit is I get to use it for work and personal use. My coworker @DGann is now putting over 50k miles a year I believe. He drives more than I do by a little. So you can see that we both have justified reasons for what we do. I don’t see you going out and buying a brand new truck just as equally as you see me daily driving a 30-year-old truck 50,000 miles a year.
Hey I know! A lot of you guys use the truck for that. I totally understand! Just flipping you some s***. It would be pretty unprofessional for a business guy to show up in mine. Not to mention the comfort isn’t there. Mileage is though. Give me that:)

I really like my F150. But I don't think i'd buy an XLT again. I miss too many of the creature comforts I had in my mildly loaded trailblazer.
Leather seats,
Memory recall on seats.
Auto climate control.
I'd love the Lariat LED headlights.
If mine were to be replaced tomorrow. I'd buy almost identical truck to @JTW with the exception of the 6.5 bed vs his 5.5.

X2 on the 6.5 foot bed. One of the other guys has it at work and it made me realize how bad my short bed sucks.

2000 in tires I would’ve needed because I was planning to drop it and would’ve needed wheels too. Minus truck rental we were already at 4K for that trip so every dollar mattered but we were coming. Just now did I finally even get tires. Truck would’ve went. I’d take off in my current truck if we were to come. Honestly rental was only 700 for the trip which is cheaper then most people’s truck payments, almost stupid to take my own on that trip for that money!
Well, I’m not a payment guy so I dunno about that.. but I get it and don’t blame ya. Point being who gives a f*** what kind of mileage a vehicle gets if it won’t get you there. And who cares if it will pull the wheels off a the trailer if you can’t stand to drive it around town (cough cough, kilo)... the max tow F150 is very much like the PK5... it’s not the cheapest and it’s not the best for every situation or everybody. BUT it’s all around the best truck to suit MY needs. I don’t give a flying f*** if the rest of you cocksuckers drive a space shuttle around! The thread was/is about F150’s... so you can choose the left or the right nut to lick. Don’t matter, there’s dog slobber on both!

My last truck was the only short box I’ve ever owned. Bought it because it looked better to be honest. Back to long bed!

Your new f150 wont hold a candle to my Cummins for the same price soooooo you can justify anything you want but at least it ain't a Chevy...

I would put my 14 Chevy up against any 1/2 ton, it would out buzz any truck I've had above 50 MPH, it liked high RPM's!
