BeerOrGasoline's '15 Ferd F150 Lariat

[Chester Copperpot]

Negrus please.

Just hit the 35,000 mile mark since July. Will probably be around 45,000 by July of '16. And I'm not happy about it, I need to stop taking it to the dealer and/or buy another beater car.

Well I know about your shenanigans. I'm talking about everyone else who doesn't put 70k in one year of ownership.

I wish I didn't... A civic, Taurus, W-body or 5-series is in my future. I'm not taking my truck to Hayward twice a month, It'll be worthless in 2 years with 150,000 on it.

Your truck's coming along great Dan. I love the new F-150's, interiors are tits. How do you like those step bars? Is it worthwhile getting the full length ones to get to the bed? I want to ditch mine and I've been eyeing the N-fab's, but, wasn't considering the full length ones...

I wanted "wheel-to-wheel" either way, but took the gamble on the 3rd step. Honestly, I love it. It makes grabbing shit from the bed and hooking/unhooking the tonneau straps a breeze since you can get up on top of them. A lotta buddies were giving me shit about it until they used it for themselves and saw the light haha

29,5xx. 1 week left in Year One.



Also, went to a buddy's house this past Saturday and tossed a 60" Recon White Lightning LED Tailgate bar on. Looks neat, super clean install and achieved my goals of more rear lighting visibility both running/braking as well as giving the back-up cam a tad more to work with.

Some quick pics, hard to get the focus right.

Lemme know. I'll take it then!

 

[Outlaw]

Worthless is still mid $30,000 lol.

 

[Eagle]

well, you still might have my attention....

 

[Eagle]

I want a 6.7 bad, but can't find one at a decent enuf price just yet.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i drove my bosses 6.7 for a good chunk of yesterday.

they are so awesome.

 

[Eagle]

But are they more awesomer than a 6.0 thats paid for and running great?

No. Enjoy your non payments lol.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeaaaaa... :iorun:

 

[Outlaw]

I mean, no regrets whatsoever BUT I'll enjoy when its paid off and still relatively new. $10,000 doesn't get you far with a HD truck, and with as much long-distance driving as I do, I wouldn't have it any other way. My truck is a fucking space shuttle, all kinds of nifty features that make over the road driving awesome.

 

[Eagle]

Paid for is nice! Pulling a 30'+ trailer with ease in the shittiest of weather is also nice! I have an updated sterero, LED forward lighting and a brake controller... what else do you need in a truck!?

 

[Yaj Yak]

heated and cooled seats.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

They're fucking phenomenal. Keeps the swass to a minimum in the summer and keeps the marbles harbled in the winter.

 

[Eagle]

Ok, I won't lie... cooled seats are AMAZING. I'll settle for heated seats tho.

 

[Yaj Yak]

back up camera's are awesome too.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Also phenomenal.

 

[Yaj Yak]

oh and bluetooth, i do like bluetooth

 

[Yaj Yak]

oh another thing the newer trucks seats are way comfier than the older ones.

 

[Eagle]

oh and bluetooth, i do like bluetooth

I have BT also due to the new radio. I also have backup sensors which works in lieu of the backup camera...

My seats are also 215k old, so they're well broken in and quite comfy I think.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I love the Raptor's seats. Enough bolstering to support my fat ass but not too much to make it feel like I'm in racing buckets.

back up sensors do not equal camera.

backup camera >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sensors....


you can't line a trailer up quickly with sensors.
