#7 of 367 Limited by akjbmw Aug 21, 2003 (8:04 am)
Going for the rest of the story... I concur with the above post, but would suggest another thought direction... The result is a limiting of the amount of slippage (or difference in speed of spinning) that the lesser traction wheel has.   The differential allows the wheels to turn at different speeds for turning corners. The Limited slip limits the rate of difference in speed.   Hope that helps.   Your appreciation for the feature will not surface until you have sat with a wheel spinning with no traction, the other drive wheel sitting idle, and you going nowhere.   Happy traveling.

Thanks for the info on the diferential. I won't be buying that vehicle after finding out about the "teardrop" rims. Completely changes the look. Internet buying experience has been good. Even over the net you can tell which dealerships you want to deal with. Looks like I'll be purchasing a White/Beige Lariet, 5.4L & limited slip, Tow pkg, bed xtdr, captain chairs, & heated seats for $29,244 - $4000 rebates = 25,244. MSRP is 33,195 so I think its a pretty good deal. My biggest concern is get used to a truck after driving an '98 Interpid ES. My commute is mostly highway (35mi 1way) and hopefully I'll get better than 13 mpg as sited by others.
#9 of 367 2003 F-150 Depreciation by dcordi16 Aug 23, 2003 (7:13 am)
I'm looking to buy a new 2003 F-150 but I'm not sure what my barganing power might be due to the redesigned 2004 models. Does anyone know what a 2003 F-150 might depreciate now that it will be an old model?

I am starting to see screamer ads for high 19's- low 20's for 2003 XLT 150 SCrews, depending on rebates and whether or not you finance through Ford. My question is...... If the 2002/2003 USED models (Screw XlT 4x2 less than 25k miles) are normally advertised for 20k, will they now be advertised (or sold) for less?

#12 of 367 Deal in Houston by gracz Sep 29, 2003 (9:05 am)
Just bought an 03 f-250 4X4 in houston, for 30,500 at what used to be Texan Ford, great truck, I take it to Del Rio almost weekly during hunting season, never any problems - I put all my equip in the back, feeders, heaters chairs, even my 40' tarp - There are deals out there - good luck.

A major magazine is hoping to interview prospective buyers who are a) anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Nissan Titan; and/or b) comparing pricing and incentive deals on GM and Ford pickups to decide which to buy. Please respond with your daytime contact information to jfallonedmunds.com by October 8. Thanks!
#14 of 367 04 XLT short bed by scottinssmd Oct 11, 2003 (5:42 pm)
Beautiful truck. Just picked one up today in Bethesda for $30,200 plus tax tags and extended warranty. [MSRP was $35800]. Spec, by order of my importance, include 4x4, 5.4 Triton, Super cab, short bed, HD tow package, captain's chairs, auto, power moonroof and rear window, power seat windows and locks, Aspen Green. Other creature features which came with this model are heated turn signal side mirrors, 6 CD in-dash player, digital dash, rear seats fold up so I can stow blueprints, digital camera equipment, and laptop equipment. Also, the rear windows are electric and roll down 100%, this is a clutch gimme. Now it feels like my 03 SVT Cobra convertible. OK, nothing like it but you get the idea.   I'll report back later in the week after I get feedback from my partners and crew members. Smooth ride.   Extended warranty fell under my fleet/commercial account. Got platinum coverage 7yrs/100k for $2,800.   Any questions?
#15 of 367 Wondering how many 03s will be left in December by eharri3 Oct 13, 2003 (10:07 am)
I was thinking of just having a look around in December to see what 03 Supercab shortbeds were available. Anybody think they'll all be gone and Ill be out of luck? Im soo tempted to go for an 03 becaus it's been my dream truck for like 3 years now and I really like the old body style. On one hand Im hearing of great deals out there. On the other, my Ranger only has 106K right now and runs OK. Any thoughtS?
