This is my first truck and first Ford. I love it and wouldn't go back to the dark side with non Ford vehicles. I am 34 and have only had several vehicles.
88 Camaro,98 Camaro and a 01 Cherokee. If I ever traded my truck it would be for another Ford truck as well. When you get married and have a house a truck is handy to have for things that come up. Which brings up my question what else did you have before your F150?
I have my anti-flame suit on just in case this thread bites me in the butt for asking such a thing!

 

f150

 

I've had 5 Fords myself, and 1 Honda when I was going to college several years ago.

'79 F 100 Custom (sold-too much money for a 19 year old to put a new motor and trans in it)
'97 Explorer XLT (totalled after 10 months of ownership)
'98 Explorer Limited (sold after I bought my '05)
'05 F 150 XLT 4x4(stolen after 18 payments)
'06 F 150 FX4

 

Well, you got it right the first time!

 

ian wow that sucks about the stolen truck. Glad you got another one.

 

first car I ever owned was a 1957 Ford Custom 300
first truck was a 1955 Ford F-100...

I wish I never got rid of either one..

 

'75 f100 sold
68 f250 kept
'95 lincoln mark8 traded
'05 f150 (duke) traded
'06 jeep wrangler totaled
'82 granada sold
'95 saturn sc sold
'05 f150 (duke) I guess i cant get ride of it

 

First vehicle I ever owned was a 1991 Ford Probe GT.

 

94 f150, single cab shortbed xl, 2wd.


and the 302 which sucked, i would rather have had a 4.9 or 351

 

- First car 1994 Escort
- Next a 2002 Mazda Miata
- Then traded in 1994 Escort for a 2005 Escape
- Then sold Escape (Private Sale), traded in Miata, and bought an 2008 F-150 FX4.

- Worked nice.. got rid of 2 4 cylinders to get a V8 !!

- Best choice I've made.

- I agree with your statement TheGreenMachine, when I got married and we bought our house, thought the Escape would do.. that worked fine until we really started on the never-ending home improvement project...Then time for a pick-up...

 

I traded in my '05 Hyundai Elantra (bought new) on my '06 F150 at a used car dealer this February.
It was a great car and there was nothing wrong with it but I decided that I wanted a truck.

Sometimes I miss the gas mileage (32 mpg) and the 5 speed but I really love my truck and it hauls my atv alot better than the car.

 

Lets see before my 03 FX4 , I Has a 93 F150 ,, before that I had a Ford Mustang 1980 Ghia Edition... then Before that I had a Ford F 250.. Then before that I had a Ford Van .. Then I had yet another mustang before that .. And when I was in Highschool I had a Mustang and a Ford Escort.... The Escort really became my sister's car when she got older.... Then My dad had a Thunderbird that I took to Prom ,,,Because my 67 stang back then was a real peice of yard art..

 

08-FX4 exactly man, I thought my Cherokee would be fine too until you get huge appliances, tree bark, pine needles and potting soil projects!

 

Traded a '99 Camaro SS for the Lightning. I miss the car, but my back doesn't.

 

PJB4X4, I understand the gas mileage deal too. It seems a lot of people who have always had cars one day need a truck and get tired of having to borrow someone elses. Once they get one they never go back to a car. The mpg is a trade off though for a four wheeled tool you use a lot for different things.
