My Wife has INSULTED me!

I feel your pain. My wife had to have a 08 red silverado...But the only difference was it was cheaper then buying another f150 at the time. I got 10k off in rebates plus her car trade, so it was ok. Its nice and it runs good, but it doesnt seem like it is as good a quality interior as my lariat..? I know the SLT is pretty sharp though.

It's only an 02 but has 125,000 miles... 4 more payments and it's paid off (finally). I really have no complaints, it's a great truck. I hope to drive it a few more years after it's paid for... just planning ahead. Heck, i may hate the new GMC when it comes time... but who knows..

The new gmc's and chevy bodystyles kinda throw me off a bit, I like the gmc one alot more than the chevy but still I dont see why they are so bulky in the body with huge wheel wells and tiny tires that stick in 2 inches?? they remind me of a really jacked person in the upper body but with chicken legs.

Well here's the deal. AT MOST i'd get 3-4 more mpg if I re-gear. I put 600 miles a month on my truck. At 4 extra mpgs I would get 100 more miles per tank. So, at my current rate, I would get a "free" tank every 1.5 months. It costs $55 to fill it up. So, I would save $55 8 times per year = $440. $1500/$440 = 3.4 YEARS to break even on a re-gear. NO THANKS.

Regearing will also help save you transmission and make your engine not have to work as hard. Depending on what type of terrain you drive in. I still dont think ford gears these trucks correctly from the factory. If you orderd your truck and it come with 31 or bigger, it should have come with 4:10 without some special tow option. When I made the switch I could not belive I was driving the same truck and so far the mileage has stayed the same.
