Christmas present to myself from my Wife. F150 pic

This wouldn't be possible without my Wife. If she isn't happy no one in the house is.
About a month ago she gave me her blessing to replace my old 1989 dodge 4x4 shortbed daily driver.It has seen it's better days.
Been looking around and found a good deal on a 2012 F150 XLT/tow package.This truck is way more high tech then the old dodge.
I am a happy,happy,happy Man!
Thanks for looking.
Merry Christmas to you all!

Very nice truck. Ford builds a great truck. I bought a 2000 F250 4X4 this year (purchase is a story for another day). It has a V10 and 88,000 miles. It is a crew cab with the Lariat package. During the week I drive it about 5 miles a day so the 11.9 mpg doesn't matter. Enjoy your truck.

I understand about the fuel mileage not being of concern. This truck is not fuel friendly but I live 10 minutes from where I work so it doesn't matter to me either.

my 07 had spray-in bedliner. Loved the stuff, not slippery in the snow or rain like a normal bedliner. May something to consider

Bahhahahahahahahahahaha, rolling on the floor I am. We all been there, my brown nosing doesn't get me anywhere. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Nice try Pat.

A new truck would eat up all the monthly budget for play cars. That is an unacceptable trade off.

A coffee buddy just ordered a '14 Silverado with 6.2 and all bells and whistles. Pickup envy is a terrible sickness.

Sweet truck! Coyote or Ecoboost? My '12 has the Ecoboost and I love it. Speaking of the '14 Silverado, it looks like a ford and dodge had a baby....
