Hi people. Been awhile since I last posted. To recap: I cancelled my '03 order when the next day the '04 showed up on the Ford website, and I read about the improvements.

A lot has happened since then...the '04 slipped by. The good news is that the '05 I ordered came into my dealership Monday. There it sits until my AQHA membership hits the 30 day mark (next Wednesday).

That's going to be one exciting day...I haven't had a new truck since I bought a '99 Nissan Frontier. This is a totally different animal though.

Stats:

Black XLT Scab
5.4 engine
4x4...electronic shift on the fly
Trailer tow package
507A pref equip pkg
Prem 6 disc changer (the Xlt guys can play mp3s now)
P255 A-T tires
3.73 limited slip
64E chrome wheels
Fog lamps
keyless entry
35.7 gal tank
reverse sensors
pwr driver seat

I think that covers it. I figured that I can get aftermarket wheels later, and I'm sure I can get aftermarket skid plates that are better than the Ford items, so I passed.

....I wonder if boat prices are better in the winter....

 

congrats man...you wont know what true love is until you drive your new truck Now you get to struggle with whether to feed yourself or make a neverending mod list By the way...nice choice of color Enjoy.....

 

Congrats! I was going to wait back in 03, but ended up getting an 03 Screw. But it got totaled, so now I have an 04 FX4. Finally got what I wanted!

"I don't need anything.....just this remote control...and THIS, a K&N aircleaner. That's all I need, the remote and the K&N aircleaner. I don't need anything else, I need THIS. Ok, the remote, the K&N and this Catback exhaust....but that's it. And this roll-up tonneau cover. Just the remote control, the K&N aircleaner, the catback exhaust and the roll-up tonneau cover.... etc, etc"


Man, it IS insidious...isn't it? lol

 

lol man congrats on getting the truck cant wait to see a few pics of it

 

scooterjohn,
I love that movie, Steve Martin is hilarious! Congrats on the new ride as well. You are stepping WAAAAY up from the Frontier, you will never look back.

 

I got rid of the Nissan about three years ago. Been missing having a truck ever since. I live in truck country, plus, we have Harleys.

This truck should do whatever I want it to. Now I can get that 22' Regal. muuhaa haa haa.
