I will take this time to reintroduce myself, I was quite active on the forum back in 02-06 on the King Ranch board. I retired in 07 and moved to Oklahoma and sold the King Ranch because I wasn't driving it much and it was a gas hog. I have been driving a 2008 Ranger until last week when we decided to get another F150 SuperCrew, this time an 2015 XLT Sport, Magnetic Metalic color with 2.7 Ecoboost. I only have 400 miles on it so far, but I love it, I sat my Ranger that only had 33,000 miles in my driveway and sold it in 3 hours. I ordered a Undercover LSX cover for it today, should have the cover early next week, I'll post a picture then.

 

Welcome! Sounds like a nice truck.

 

Welcome back! Good for you for being able to afford one of these new trucks on a retirement income.....

I put a "For Sale" sign up in my Ranger (2009 Sport with 36,000 miles) earlier this year and then promptly parked it in my garage because I couldn't decide if I really wanted to sell it. At the end of the day, I decided I just couldn't part with my old buddy -- much to my wife's chagrin.....

 

Every time mine rode in my Ranger she said I hate this rough riding sob, you need a different truck, so last time she said it I took her up on it, she says she may drive the F150 some.

 

I drove crappy cars for years, didn't take vacation trips and lived in a modest house and we both saved and invested as much as we could, plus nice pensions and SS. My attitude is why leave it to the kids, they will blow it on $#!+, so I'm going to be a bit selfish and enjoy some of my hard work.

 

 

Congratulations on the truck it looks sharp :-)

 

I don't blame you a bit! Like I always tell my mother who is 87-years-young and seemingly obsessed with the idea that she needs to leave money to her kids when she is gone -- I'm going to spend anything you give me on things you wouldn't approve of, so you'd best spend it on yourself while you're here......

 

Welcome back, jayhawker! Good to see you again!

 

Thank You Rockpick,,I remember you from back in my days on the King
Ranch board.

 

I ordered a Undercover LUX cover for it last week an should be in today. i love this truck more every day.

 

Welcome Aboard!
