I bought an 05 F150 last summer. I hate the damn thing. It has no horspower --
no engine assist when going downhill with a trailer. It rides nice and smooth on the
trails -- THAT SUCKS! The ride is too quiet - if I wanted quiet, I'd buy a car.

I'm looking to trade it in - at a loss of course, and get something that I like more.

Does any manufacturer make a real pickup any more, or are they all just Cadillacs on big tires? I think all the pansies that are buying trucks just to have trucks are ruining it for the rest of us who actually know what 4-wheel drive is for.

Just looking for any input from others who own newer trucks...

 

I don't know if I like the fact there are 2 Rednecks on this forum[sm=imsmilin.gif]

 

You should know better if u want to haul you need a 250 or a 350

 

HAHAH id say, buy a chevy.... but i know that isnt what you want to hear.

my 1500HD rides like a real truck. i love it for that, except on the damn 101 freeway.

 

I don't really like any of the newer truck models which is why i bought a 2001 Dodge Ram extended cab. It's a really nice truck but it has the power to back it up. 5.9 liter that gives me what I want when I want it. Sometimes you have to take a good truck and make it better yourself. I'm always going offroad, so I put 33 in tires and new ranchero shocks. Duel exhaust and K&N airfilter are pretty much all I've changed. This spring I'll be putting on new exhaust and headers. A lot of people buy trucks and don't use them for what they were made for. This beast is my daily driver and work horse!

 

your first mistake was buying a ford buddy...and a F-150 at that...ha ha ha, your mistake
