I may have just bought my last Ford

[Ramcharger90]

I have to say Im liking this 20 I might try a new f150 when its time to get rid of the 14 Ram but I want a coyote so I can supercharge it. But the 14 only has 51k on it so it might be a little bit before and yes the new Bronco is probably coming first for the wife.



Unless the Ramcharger comes out then who knows.

My last 2 F-150 had coyotes. I would have gotten another one in this truck, but the max tow package requires the 3.5L. I’ve driven 3.5l vehicles, it’s got some balls.

I gotcha, I have a 10k 19 foot hydraulic tilt trailer. I would like to get something that has a self leveling air ride suspension eventually, but at the same time the only luxury things I like are built in trailer settings, A/C, leather, and SiriusXM. Im not a fan of all those touch screens etc. And for how lil I used my trailer this year. I dont really need the air bags in the ram just yet.

It squats but it manageable

Plus the
90 5.0 ranger.
88 crown vic,
98 mountaineer,
01 ram 2500,
97 eagle talon tsi,
96 eclipse,
11 lancer,
03 ram 1500 4 door,
00 Subaru impreza,
87 turbo foxbody,

Soon to pull the
53 F100
78 powerwagon

And so on and so on. The 5.7 does great on the hills even but then pulling weight up and down hills is second nature when you drive a tractor trailer. That every company cuts the balls off of anymore.

The Olds is something. That would be my favorite on your list and I hate GMs. I don't consider older Pontiacs and Olds as GMs though...

My buddy might sell it he has all the numbers matching parts for the 455 w30 and he might sell the Y block thats in it now also.

Man, that would be a great project! Wish I had the storage space. I've got a 67 Le Mans that I'm trying to resurrect. I'm only the third owner but its pretty rough.

It was an offset hit... no amount of drop is going to help with that.

Way over due update:
I got the truck back around the end of February. It had the wrong fender flares on it. Took a month to get the right ones. I went to get them installed... the wrong flares were bigger, scratched the bedside, and they had to repaint the bedside. I took the truck with the wrong flares and told them to **** off.
3 months later, the new rear started making noise. It sounds like a pinion bearing is bad. It’s still making noise. I’m done with it.
Now to the point I came here to make...

I ordered a 2020 F-150 today. It should be here in about 8 weeks. I can finally get away from this nightmare of a truck!!

This truck you got can you get it with that color and the "special appearance package" main that swosh/stripe?

You can get a XLT luxury (302A) with Lead Foot and the special edition package (with or without the stripes, they have a sticker delete option.)... I don’t know if you could also get the black appearance package, which I think would make for a nice looking combo.

I guess I should update this now that you brought it up.
The dealer said I should see the truck between 3/7-3/10. Fords tracking site says 3/13. Today is 3/11... The truck is sitting in a rail yard here in NJ waiting to be trucked to the dealer. It’s been there since Thursday.
WTF?! I’m tired of waiting.

1) That's the carrier company, not Ford or the dealer.

2) Patience is a virtue, and one often found lacking in our society.

I’m not blaming Ford at all... they say it will be in on the 13th. I’m just complaining that the dealer came up with a completely different day then Ford.
Newark is just over 40 minutes away from the dealership, it won’t take long to get there once it’s loaded. I’m not even bothered by waiting for the new truck to arrive... I just want to get out of this one. I’ve been waiting for that day since the accident/ no parts available/ mold issue/ fender flare falling off/ everything else 1.5 years ago.
I was also brought up to believe early is on time... on time is late.

I was wrong about where the truck is... it’s sitting in a yard in Port Wilmington Delaware since the 6th.
