Hardcore Outdoor Changes Horses - Ford F-150 4X4

My new ride. A 2010 Ford F-150. I expect my daily driver to do pretty much everything well. Haul a lot of gear. Move a family of five. Get me to and from the boonies or the office with equal aplomb. Cruise the interstate for long stretches. Get good gas milage. Be comfortable and dependable. After doing my usual research and some serious thinking, this is what I decided on.

I chose the Ford for three reasons. 1) I have known Scham for almost 30 years and with the exception of a truck called "AJ Foot" when we were kids he has driven nothing but Ford pick ups. 2) My Dad is not easy on vehicles but his last three have been F-150s and he has been very happy with them. 3) The government bail out of GM and Chrysler really chapped my ass and I just couldn't, in good conscious, reward that kind of thing with my hard earned money. Ford didn't take a dime and they build a solid line of automobiles so I voted with my pocket book.

They got 'em a loyal customer for as long as they keep doing the right thing. Keep making good products, take care of the customer, and manage your business well. Do that and you won't need taxpayer assistance. Do that and I'll keep driving F series trucks.

I will do a full review after I have had it for a year but for now, after 6000 miles, I am happy to give it a preliminary recommendation. If you are looking for a place to buy one, Tim Tanner at Sanderson Ford in Phoenix made me a fair deal and didn't jerk me around. Give him a call and he will take good care of you.
