So I got a new company vehicle.....

[66POJ]

Its a 2011 F-150 excab 4x4 with a 5.0.
I had a 2009 Chevy 4x4 5.3. Sucked balls, a complete pig.

This new motor from Ford moves this truck pretty good and has a nice exhaust note for a stock truck. The Chevy was as quiet as a little ole lady in church.

I do not like the huge plastic grill that raises with the hood on this Ford.
The gauges are ok. Radio is....well it is a company vehicle.

I'm not loving the body style but we will see what time brings.
The ride is nice.

For almost a year...

Ecoboost is fairly new, but it has been for a couple months too

I don't really like the exterior on anything but a FX4 either. The XLs are too blah, and the chrome grilles on everything else is too much... the thing is just too big. I really wish they would bring back the honeycomb grille.

hmm just checked, pretty sweet. i havent been to a ford dealership in a year plus but im still shocked i didnt know you could get that motor in the truck yet. I really want one in a crown vic though that would be sweet

Good luck, they ceased retail sale and have said they might cease fleet sale soon as well.

i know which is dumb, i love my crown vic, the problem is they got the name as an old persons car or a police car. if ford would remake the 2 door crown vic or do sporty version of it they could make some money. mine rides smooth, handles great, moves out of its own way, gets good gas mileage, reliable as ole faithful, has a great sound system, lots of trunk room, and has seats that are comfortable even for me at 6' 3".

what more could you ask for

 

[doorgunner]

6'3

no wonder you like the crownvic.........if they only made a crownvic with a cab........

 

[rockin86ranger]

haha 6' 3" 280lbs of mostly muscle but im kinda fluffy too lol, bad thing is i drive a 1st gen reg cab ranger and a ford festiva most of the time. kinda comical to see me pull up and get out

and +1 on the vic with a bed

No pics, company might frown on it with their logo's on the truck. Sticker says 5.0.
We got some 2010 F250's last year. The engine is a 6.2 which does not show up for a 2010, but does for a 2011. Ford does screwy things late in the model years.

Anything would be better than this hunk of garbage I drive now, 2010 Chevy Crapolardo.

Check the registration, they are '11's.

Ford releases some new models in the spring instead of the fall prior to the actual year, the '11 Superduty was one of them.
