Do you all wave

to fellow '150 drivers?

I do sometimes, if I pass another 04-05 model going the other way and it's a nice one.

im alwayse tempted to mainly because i used to have a jeep and if you didnt wave when you passed one they would wave back with one finger! it was the unwritten law of having a jeep, but here in the south most people wave to each other anyway so i usually do it without thinking about it.

Everyone where I live waves anyways but when I go some places out of town, I have noticed some F-150s giving a wave and nod. I always think whenever I pass another 2004-2005 F-150 if they belong to F-150 Online.

I grew up in Kansas and everyone waved PERIOD. Even little old ladies and young punk azz kids. Now I live in Indiana and these are the rudest damn drivers on earth (excluding NY-east coast, but that a given). I wave all the time and people just give me that Hillbilly Indiana stare...and then I hear the banjos. So now I wave to just **** people off. I flip alot of people off too. It is damn obvious when people see you they should at least wave. I mean how freakin much effort does it take to send a simple gesture to a fellow American. I am pissed just thinking of it. Damn it people freakin wave its not that big a deal you freakin idots. GOD I HATE INDIANA. I had some guy in an identical F150 wave at me in Illinois the other day. Wave you **** HOLES.

I always try to acknowledge my fellow F-150 drivers, but not much response.

Must be an LA thing. I'm sure HIDPLANET or PORKCHOP would wave!

Yes I do, and a lot of times I'm actually waving back 'cuz they waved first.
Then once in a while an anti-social appears ...

I'm a former member of the Jeep club too ..

I had a fellow F150 driver flip me the bird a few weeks ago.
(I saw him do it in my rear view mirror)
I blew his doors off and apparently, he didn’t like it.

Not sure if I will or won't, since my F-150 hasn't arrived yet. I'm thinking there are so damn many of the things down here in Texas that I'll have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my wrist after about three weeks if I do!

When I was in high school back in Minnesota, I used to drive around in my old man's pick-up, and everywhere I went all of these old codgers would be waving at me! (My dad was well known in our small town, plus he drove a BRIGHT ORANGE pick-up that you could spot coming at you from three miles away!)

Needless to say, it was kind of hard to look "cool" in front of girls when everywhere you went, 60-year-old men were waving at you!

I also acknowledge my fellow F-150 drivers, I get little or no response. California drivers are just as rude and inconsdrerate as most larger cities. Guess there is something to be said about small town america.

You could get shot for waving at someone in California...
Actually not for waving just for cutting someone off accidently.
I do get dirty looks from Dodge drivers tho, id say the ratio of Dodge 1500 trucks and F-150's here is about 70% Dodge 30% F-150.

It would be nice if we recognized all F-150 owners/drivers when passing each other.Wave,honk your horn,whatever,but there are a few 04-05 owner/driver who act as if any ford truck less than 04-05 is not worth their time.The competition (chevy,dodge,etc.) is not going to recognize our Ford Trucks!so why can't we???
