Because you can't have one. These Trucks are for young people and everyone knows FL is full of old people that can't drive.



I haven't seen any either, but that is because I have been working on my house all summer. My Truck knows the way to home depot by itself now.

Have faith; they just showed up in Arkansas; and the salesmen still don't know much about them. I'm constantly puzzled about why I always know more about the trucks than the guys who act like they are experts. I can't figure out if they're just dumb, or trained to lie to the questions I ask.

I'm a young person. Is is sad that the sales people know me by name now? Serisously, I've been there 5 times in the past week. I'm still on my quest to find one. I've very impatient if you havnt figured.

If you were in NJ you'd see them! Almost every dealer in Central NJ has 1-4 of them in stock and on display. All SuperCabs.

I went this morning to look at some while the lot was closed and I got to sit in all 3 of the ones the dealer had out. (they forgot to lock the doors on any of them)

Stealing one did cross my mind. lol

G'Luck! I'm sure you'll see one soon!

You won’t get any in Florida until the newness wears off. They don’t want those old people who smell like vinegar getting in them and smelling them up on a test drive.

Don’t worry, you should see some in another 6 – 9 months…

Dude, that is not funny as some older guy a month or so ago drove his car down a street market and killed 9 people and injured a bunch more in Southern Cali. He said he hit his brakes, but the car just kept speeding up. His car was actually fine. Come to find out previously he had hit a wall when visiting a friends house or something like that. It is weird that you mentioned that. It hits kinda close to home.

when thinking about respect for old people think of this...

its because they wanted a V8 in their Lincoln Continentals that we got stuck with the 4.6 as a truck engine.

They probably do, but if you visit this dealer, leave your watch, wallet, and rings locked in your truck. If you have extensive fillings in your teeth, try to speak to their sales staff without opening your mouth too much. Greenway Ford in Orlando has got to be one of the most disreputable dealerships in the enitre country. If they were the only Ford dealer in Florida, I'd still travel out-of-state to get my next Ford. Check the BBB claims against them, but plan some time if you do, the list is long and rightfully so. They can most assuredly be classified as the best of the worst.

Don Reid Ford in Orlando had five '04 F-150's yesterday when I went by, so you might check there.
