#417 of 433 Re: Platinum or not? [riser] by tampa2 May 05, 2009 (3:25 pm)
Replying to: riser (Apr 23, 2009 3:17 pm) I thought the platinum came with 22 inch rims, not 20's, like my 2007 Harley Davidson F150? The rims look nice - I can't figure out why would anyone buy the platinum version and then want stock 18 inch wheels?? I agree with the other posts, you should look at the F150 that best fits your needs, and if you like it stock, then buy stock. Replies to this message: riser (May 06, 2009 6:14 am)

Replying to: jvos (May 05, 2009 2:29 pm) Excuse me, but if I lost you, then why did you bother responding. I thought this was a forum. I asked a few questions and expected answers, not some smart mouth.   I was trying to see if this nitrogen thing was a gimmick. And I've found that it is.   I was trying to find out if people really are happy with their Platinum F-150. Still don't know because people like you try to intimidate others so they won't make an attempt to tell their side of the story.   And the biggest reason I sent a note was that I was sick and tired of the hassles in buying a vehicle. Just wanted to hear from others. I'm not going to waste my time on this forum; I'll leave it to smart mouths like you.

Replying to: tampa2 (May 05, 2009 3:25 pm) One reason is that 20- 22" aluminum wheels are subject to more damage offroad. I'm not speaking of climbing mountains; just wandering a little offroad or down real bumpy roads. The bigger wheel (because it's aluminum), in my opinion, appears easier to damage. My driving includes many rough W. Tex roads, no mountains, but lots of creeks and ravines. Not playing or mudding, but working or hunting.   I wanted the plush Ford Platinim but ended with Toyota's Tundra Luchese and four wheel drive. BTW, it comes with 18" steel wheels.

Replying to: jvos (May 05, 2009 2:29 pm) You were close to being right. I apologize for the attempt at making specious claims and for the smart mouth remark in my earlier reply. I was just really frustrated with the whole process, as I always get when trying to buy a vehicle. I don't like any part of the dealing with salespeople. And then it really distrubed me when I drove that Platinum truck home to show my wife and the fold down seat in back broke and wouldn't fall back down. Then the whole tire/nitrogen and no gas cap thing kept bothering me, too. I finally went with a Toyota Luchese, paid more for it, but the entire sales process was absolutely painless, the salesman was polite, didn't lie about anything, and everything on the truck still works! So if I'm making a claim here, it's one I'm not ashamed of making, believe me. Replies to this message: jvos (May 19, 2009 10:15 am)

Replying to: riser (May 07, 2009 1:24 pm) riser -   Enjoy your tundra. While you worry about things like tire size, nitrogen and gas caps you settled for a 'truck' that isn't even a fully boxed frame. The tundra has a good motor, but when you look at true truck comparisons - pickuptrucks.com, popular mechanics, etc - the tundra typically finishes 5th while the f150 always finishes 1st. My Platinum is the sixth truck I've owned and having just passed 9,000 miles, I can also tell you its the best. But I have different criteria.   One thing about the Japanese vehicles - they only offer a few versions. With the F-150 there are something like 100,000 possible configurations - so it can be confusing. It sounds like that was ultimately a key to your decision.
#423 of 433 What is a good price? by rjr2565 Aug 15, 2009 (9:34 am)
I'm in the market for a new truck and have narrowed it down to 09 Ford Super Crew 4WD 5.5 Bed XLT and tow package. This one has the 4.6L 3V engine. The List is $35,785. What kind of price should I be looking for. The other question I have is what kind of gas mileage for highway driving could I expect from the 4.6L or the 5.4L. Thanks for any info you could give me RJR2565 Replies to this message: aggie76 (Aug 21, 2009 6:16 pm)
#424 of 433 2009 F150 FX4 4x4. Supercrew by murphcoair Aug 20, 2009 (6:41 pm)
I just picked it up at Syosset Ford in NY , Silver with black leather interior, 20 inch pirelli scorpions, 6 cd, sync, chrome running boards. I love it . Rides like a car.  ( I'am use to F250'S) .   41,490 msrp. less 750.00 Sync & Captains chair credit, Sell price was 37,145. less the 2500 from Ford. + TTR .   They gave me 15,000. for my 2005 F250 ,it was in good condition, the interior was a little rough , but those cloth seats are hard to keep clean.

Replying to: rjr2565 (Aug 15, 2009 9:34 am) I have an '09 King Ranch and just did a long trip and averaged 18.1 mpg on highway over 400 miles at an average of 68 mph per the trip computer with the 5.4L engine. Only 1,000 miles on the truck so hope to see a bit more once engine gets broken in. But of course, I didn't buy it for the mpg and neither should anyone else.
#426 of 433 how to negotiate? by redwing_al Aug 29, 2009 (1:37 pm)
Hi, I'm interested in this truck: http://tiny.cc/qwf8A   This dealer is a credit union who keeps the nice vehicles that get returned from a lease. In some cases the vehicles have been leased twice...   My question is, what should I offer them for it? Here is my rationale.   1. the truck has likely been paid for once by the guy who was "fleased" by the lease   2. These vehicles will eventually be sold at auction if the credit union does not sell them   3. These trucks have been depreciated... this one by 5 years...   So, what should I offer? What would a truck like this fetch at an auction in Michigan? Do I have any leverage with the bank if I ask them to look at the books and see just what they need to get for it to pay off the residual value?   I am looking for some help. I need a truck, dont want to buy new, but want some negotiating power wiht the bank who owns it..   Please reply especially those with this kind of experieince either negotitating to buy or on the banking side of the sales business..   THANKS Replies to this message: kyfdx (Aug 30, 2009 8:43 am)
