Congratulations with your new truck.
Did you choose the 4.6 or the 5.4.
Are you going to convert it to run on propane.
I wouldn't know how high your gasprices are in Turkey.

Have fun with the truck.

It is a 4x4 with 5.4 liter(same engine with the 1998 lincoln navigator i had it before) 5.5 cab lariat screw
Other spesifications are 3.73 limited slip rear 18'' bright aluminium with 285 tires chrome front and rear bumpers,bright tubular runnning boards.Body color is black but i thing i have to paint the lower to black myself cause it is two tone paint(my dealer said nothing can be done about it because that is how it comes out of the factory).Also it will have floor shift with tan interior ,moonroof , captain's chair,audiophile ,sliding rear window and e.t.c..
Converting to propane could be a good idea but it is something that i will never do.Taxes here in TURKEY are insane we pay the highest price for gas in Europe.Also if i tell you guys the final cost of this machine because of the Turkish government taxes you will be shocked.I will pay something beetween 75-80 grand to my dealer depending on extras,which i can easily have 2 F-150 in U.S I believe.Just to give an other example if i would ordered a 2004 Lincoln navigator i would have to pay 120 $ grand can you believe that.

welcome deepblue! I will be in Turkey at Christmas time visiting friends. unfortunately my Lariat will not be makeing the trip with me since it is only a 10 day visit. But if I see an 04 Lariat in Turkey I will say hi to you, being that you are the only one. I will be in Izmir but I am going through Istanbul to get there. Congrats on the order. How long does it take to ship to you? Is there a Ford dealer in Turkey to order it from? Do they charge you extra to ship it all the way over there?

It must be funny to see that price in Turkish Lire. Billions and billions of Lire. Haha. (for those who are wondering, I think it is about 1.5 Million Lire to a US Dollar).

Brewmaster 1$=1.5 million liras (you are right)and i wiil pay something lie110 billions of lira)))))))).There are ford dealers dealers in Turkey but they mostly sell which the ford factory in Turkey produces and other ford brands that are in europe(Like rangers and other commercial small size trucks which sucks).They do not sell f-series and lincoln also.So i goto private galleries which has connections with U.S ford dealers.My dealer said it will take 6-8 weeks for shipping and yes i will have to pay an extra 2500$ for shipping.Thanks for welcoming by the way guyss.Jackslapp said it smells like corruption))wrong it is corruption Jackslapp . Government is trying to reduces the debts by heavy taxes.We are in the 3 rd year of economic crisis hopefully will end end next year

That's a lot.
$63000 after 19% taxes here for a loaded one.
That is still way too much.
