New Addition to the Driveway
 

Well, The Taurus took another shit on me...and I was getting tired of dealing with stupid shit on this car, and having already Re built the transmission once already last year...I decided to step up to a better suited application to fit my needs...:dribble:

It's an 05' with 40,000 on the Clock, Extended Cab Stepside Bed 4X4...And She Purrs like a kitten.

Oh, Forgot to mention...the Taurus had Transmission Issues again...which after doing research was a known issue for those cars built in that year/body style.

But I'm happy with the purchase...I always wanted something to haul the bike around if need be...Wish I had this thing when i went to Suches! :)

Nice! Congrats on the new addition!

Nice, now lets see if we can fit 2 bikes in there for next year ;)

Oh I think Two will Def fit...It would just be Tight...But it could work :)

Nice!

:dthumb:

were gonna need a bigger driveway for manweek

3 bikes

theres room behind the driver, just take the wheels off, theres PLENTY of space.......

congrats man. That is a good lookin truck.

How much was it?

I have an 06 2WD STX with a 5speed manual, but power everything.

Nice ride, personally I hate the step sides though. Waste of box space.

Does it have the 5.4 in it?

4.6L the 5.4 is even more of a gas hog...and the 4.6 has been around in these trucks forever...Stout motor IMHO...And I personally like the stepside over the straight bad...adds more character to the truck...I'm not worried about 2 extra inches of bed space...Its plenty big.

it was listed at 16,800...Out the Door I believe was 18000 and change...It was at a Honda dealer and they wanted it off there lot since it was a Ford.

Yet you bought another Ford... clearly you did not learn. :lol::whistle:

Just kidding... it's a good looking truck. :dthumb:

Nice truck!!!

I'm still rocking my 98 F150 stepside :)

Nice...I paid 13,995 for mine with 8500 miles on it.....but no 4wd and no V-8 or automatic.

Badass ride, congrats babe!

4.6? terminator swap! lets go! :boobs:

4.6 is ok if all you do is drive and
maybe put a bike in the box. Its underpowered when you start pulling trailers. And I consistantly got 15 with my 5.4 which was good enough for how I drove it.

congrats mang

Ford Trucks SHIT on Ford Cars...I dunno what it is...But I always knew people with quality Ford Trucks but anyone (myself included) with a Ford Car had issues...Lol Oh well...I got a killer warranty so I'm ok for the next few years!!

And I dont plan on doing much Towing with this Rig...Its strictly a Truck to put a bike or two in occasionally and pick up shit for the house from home depot/furniture stores/etc etc and not have to worry about delivery.

And I always liked Trucks :)

Congrats on the truck!!

Not anymore. Ford actually makes well built cars nowadays.

Ford trucks were always better than anyone else for actual truck use.

My 96 Taurus was Balls...I'm not talking about New Cars.

But Either way I'm happy with it!
