I Finally Did It

[Orlando]

After being a die hard Ford man my whole life I crossed over to Chevy. My F-150 still ran like a top but was rusting bad and I decided to take a look at the dealership. The next day I now own a new Midnight Edition Silverado. Man how trucks have changed in the last 10 years, there are more gadgets, bells and whistles on this thing than one man ever needs. Its ridiculous trucks arent just trucks anymore

I used to be a Ford man until I had to change a 5.4 Triton engine in a 2007 F 250 that pushed snow!

Chevys are a lot easier to work on. Rust is NOT your friend. Nice truck

Rust is inevitable in Ohio. Nice truck, Enjoy.

She is a beauty Bill, congrats. I have driven Chevy all my life only because my Dad did I guess. I tried looking at a few others but they just do not seem to have the comfort or durability that the GM have. Sorry guys thats just an opinion$clapper$.

The only thing wrong with that is it's not in my driveway!

Thats well said , LOL.

To tell you the truth the all aluminum bodies now in the Fords scare me. Push on a panel and they flex alot, also aluminum wont rust but it will oxidize. The hood on my old 2007 F-150 was aluminum and started oxidizing/paint blsitering bad when it was 5-6 years old. Ford would not stand behind it as it wasnt oxidizing through from the back. The steel quarter panels also has rot. She only had 75,000 miles on her and never gace me a lick of trouble but the body was going . Thats what happens when you live in a State that dumps alot of salt on the roads in the winter
I had to decide either to keep her until the wheels fell off or buy a new one. The finance lady ( my wife) said buy new! Heck the night we picked up the truck from the dealer was our anniversary, shes a keeper

To tell you the truth the all aluminum bodies now in the Fords scare me. I know what you mean because I got a new dodge almost two years ago. The thing has steel and the metal scares me, too much flex.

Thats a good looking truck, is the hood factory? Raptor? The color is beautiful.

[LEAD POISON]

Custom hood,headlights & wheels.Lifted 2 inchs. Ford ruby red.

LP,how you like the turbo V-6 ? Thats another thing that made me shy away from Ford, all the dealers around here most of the inventory was v-6's. Good looking truck

[LEAD POISON]

I did something I never did before.I took out the extended warranty .just in case.
I have 40,000 on her now. Not good fuel mileage with those tires.
But it's the fastest pickup I've owned .I like it.

Most importantly , Happy Anniversary Bill .

I run the N/A V6. It has more power than Ford's 4.6 L V8.

Did a cross country trip in August to Michigan. Nearly 60K on it now.

Nice truck but trust me you are missing out on the Ford f150 Ecoboost Twin Turbo. I have 60,000 and hauled everything without an issue except brake pads being to big and sticking. Ground them down and stops on a dime again. Let us know how it goes with time. Had Chevy's forever but they just didn't want to deal anymore like I could get Ford to plus I have the A plan.

[Prince Humperdink]

I used to have Ford pickups,but I stick with Chevy/GM now.They are much easier to work on when I need to.I really hate owning Dodge/Chryslers because they've always "nickle and dimed"me to death(currently have a grand caravan that's my wife's).PS,I don't need big power turbo anythings,I only ever tow my coleman camp trailer.
