I think it's the 'Work' word that is scaring them off
Lol @ Petrol

I just found the "Work Trucks" forum. I find most of my posts are directed towards people like myself, and not the norm of the other posters on this site. I have 500-750# of tools and supplies in the back of my truck constantly, along with pulling a trailer approx. 3x a week. My truck is my daily driver as well. I drive 20k a year and the truck now has over 200k, and can't wait till she rolls over 300k. I do my best to keep it nice while working out of it at the same time. Now what I have to remember is that a lot of the people that post in a lot of the forums "play" with their trucks and dont have to depend on them to do much more than look good, sound good, beat a chevy that pulls up to the light, and pull a 500lb sea doo to the lake. I once read a post that went something like "my 4x4 truck weighs 5,000lbs and I cant get it to go over 100MPH."

I know this isn't true of all the posters on f150 online, so its good to see some fellow enthusiasts that realize that a truck is (or at least used to be) designed for functionality.
