What is the 500 100 banner all about?

 

Good looking truck... and the old F150 wasn't bad looking either.

 

I wish to second that question... other members have it too

 

Steve, the webmaster/owner of F-150online.com, has expressed interest of making signatures 500x100 to cut down on the wasted bandwidth. We are trying to help him out and get the message across since not everyone saw that post probally. I'm sure all of us would like to keep the signatures so this is our way of helping out.

 

Thanks! I will change mine now. I need to put my new truck in there anyway.

 

Well, I got it closer. I will work on it a little more tomorrow.

 

Hey freeky, just wanted to say that your superduty is one of the better ones that I have seen so far, for being stock. I am really digging the colors scheme and how sporty it looks. Good luck with it.

Very nice sd! I think the 08 front ends look mean as hell!

 

Thanks! I got the short-bed, the supercab, and the 20" wheels because I thought that those options made the truck sportier. I was really surprised that the stock tires are over 34".


Thanks! I have to agree...the front end looks really pissed off. I wish the rest of the truck was equally mean-looking. From the back, it really looks plain-jane.

 

You have a beautiful truck.

Compared to the F-150, 1) How smooth and refined is the ride?, 2) Are the seats more comfortable or the same?, and 3) How is the passing acceleration?

 

Thanks!

1. The ride is certainly a cut above my old F150, until you go over a bump or railroad track. Other than harshness over bumpy surfaces (maybe accentuated by the Rancho shocks and 20" wheels that they put on the FX4) the ride is much smoother, much more solid, and, believe it or not, it is quieter than my F150 was. It truly is amazing that you don't realize that you are driving a diesel truck.

2. It's hard to compare the seats because I went from the fancy leather seats of the F150 FX4 to the cloth seats in the F250 FX4. The seats do not seem as impressive as the F150 seats. They do not have headrests, which I found odd. As far as comfort goes, the dual power seats are very supportive and have the same adjustments as the F150. Surprisingly, the footwells are much smaller in the F250...probably due to the absolutely enormous engine in front of you.

3. The passing acceleration is unbelieveable. When the Boost Gauge swings up to 40 lbs, the thing takes off like a rocket. It rained most of the day today, so I really had to be careful. Even with traction control turned on, I was still able to break the tires loose at 50 MPH. Crazy!

 

Darnit I thought it was some sports teams win loss record from last season or something stupid. Maybe some sort of f150 online secret society?

 

That's the nicest Super Duty I've seen yet. Beautiful! I love the shorter
bed coupled with that massive engine. Great combo. I like a short bed
(unlike most I guess) as my 04 Lariat Scab has the 5.5. I think they look
much sportier. Congratulations.

 

you are one lucky guy...I've got to go 3 years before I might be able to follow in your footsteps.

that grill is amazing looking.

 

Nice truck freekyFX4 Last week I looked at a similar truck at the stealership where I bought my truck.It was a dark pearl blue metalic FX4 w/6.4 diesel. Maybe in a year or 2, I'm not ready to loose my shirt yet. My 06 F150 only has 11k miles.
