Thinking of Trading in for a Roush

I have a 2004 Screw Lariat with 12,000 miles on it. I was at the dealership today a saw the 2005 Roush Screws and liked the interior leather way more then mine, tires were great, hood scoop was nice, nice ground effects, could do without the tail fin though. I talked to the sales guys and told him what it would have to have on it. He is working on it right now and will get back to me. Does anyone own one of these? Is it a stage 1 or stage 2?
Do you like it? Any draw backs? I would really like to hear any opinions out there, good and bad to help me decide if this is what I want or should I just keep the truck I have now, which is great and I love. Thanks for the help

i think it is a great looking truck, however i wouldnt do it unless it had the supercharger on it. if the seats are all you want im sure you can go to an upolstry shop and have them custom do it for you for a whole lot less then getting a new truck. just my .02

Yup, what HHIFX4 said.

BTW- If you are interested in a supercharged Roush, I would wait a year until they update and improve their S/C (which I heard they are planning on doing). This years model is pretty weak and was rushed into production.

Anyhoo, supercharge your current truck, get the wheels, seats and anything else you like about the Roush and save a bundle of $$!

I was at my dealer today getting new floor mats for my truck when I saw on the show room floor, a Nascar addition F150 Lariat 4x4! That was the best looking truck I have ever seen before! It is black and decked out in chrome! It had the silver racing stripes from front to back and I couldn't get my eyes off it!
I fell in love with it until I looked at the price they were asking for it.....59,000 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!! I never seen an f150 like that go for so much darn money! The looks are unreal, but thats a lot of money.

Don't get me wrong because I'm a FORD guy till the day I die. But 59 g's is way to much money to spend on a truck, especially an F150.

Tell me about it. I wish I had my camra with me to take pictures of it and show everyone here. 59K is a lot of money. I guess if someone has that money and likes the truck that much to spend 59K on it, then by all means, but I could think of a lot I could do with 59K other then spend it on an F150 thats all tricked out. I love Ford trucks, but lower the price about 20K and maybe we can talk then about that Nascar truck.

If you want a fancy interior you should consider the Bonspeed Banshee F150 http://www.bonspeed.com

I'm not a big fan of that interior at all! An orange inside is horrable looking to me. Just my 02 cents.....
