Crown point, IN

And with the full size doors in back. Not those baby dick ones.

That thing is an n/a v6! for $43k....... with no leg room. And you guys make fun of me for bashing GM trucks. With a v8 and crew cab that's a $50k+ truck, and it's still going to have the weak 5.3. If it was a 6.2 totally different story.

For me it'd be an XLT F150. The only question is engine options, like discussed in the other thread here's what you have:

2.7: high boost, high compression ratio, lower towing, fast acceleration (as fast as the 3.5EB), great value, longevity concerns if you tow
5.0: can't go wrong, but no turbos
3.5: 470 ft lbs torque, bad mofo, can be had for ~$45k MSRP which is a fucking bargain for a crew cab

forget the color...in terms of bang for your buck it doesn't get any better than this. Even if the price is just to get you in the door and it ends up being 45k it has more room, more features, and way more power than the silveraydo above

I'm torn. I think the 2018 F-150 is an amazing truck. The technology, advanced safety features, maneuverability and ride quality are unparalleled. And the new 10-speed is a great match with the 5.0.

But then there's the 6.2-liter Chevrolet/GMC, which is a fucking powerhouse. It's not as nice, rides rougher, is more old-school truck-like but is so flipping fast. And the 6.2 is more responsive than the EcoBoost engines.

So I'd buy a 2018 F-150 and dump the 6.2 in it.

Shit, that doesn't count.

hmmmmmmmm

Probably a Silverado 6.2.
