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.

What is a good price? by rjr2565

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

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.

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.

how to negotiate? by redwing_al

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

Hi... I replied to this post in the Lease Questions forum, but to add something...
 
If you are interested in the auction value of the vehicle, post a description in
Real-World Trade-In Values
 
regards,

incentives by amagner

The current 2009 f-150 incentives expire on 10/05. Does Ford normally run better incentives on the current model year as the end of the year gets closer?

too bad you didn't buy a GM.. they'll let you return it after 30 days...
 
"If you live for having it all, what you have is never enough; “enough” is like the horizon − always receding. "
 
if you can afford the truck great, but if you can't you'll soon find that keeping up with neighbors and friends will make you broke like they are. Good luck. it's a helluva commitment if you didnt put a lot down...
