just picked me up a new 06 XLT, Aspen Green from Freedom ford. traded in my 05 XL for it. to them for getting me in the truck i wanted.

 

Rock on hoss. Glad you have the truck you want. I assume that you went to the Freedom Ford in Hampton?

 

yea hampton.

 

Southwest VA native here!! Anyone near Covington?

 

Can't say that I've been by that way. I've been through the panhandle into TN, but I don't recollect where covington is. I've been to Covington KY though.

 

Well it looks like all the F-150's you see in the area will be built somewhere else in a few years.

 

Yep. It's a shame really. But some seem to think they may be able to change Ford's mind.

 

We'll see. I don't know the specs on the factory, but I think part of the deal is the Ford wants to get away from union labor for one. San Antonio may be offering special incentives for Ford to build a modernized plant there. For all I know the Norfolk plant is out dated. Hopefully they can work something out and keep it here.

 

The story in the Daily Press indicated that this plant builds the highest quality trucks of all the factories.

 

funny, i got mine there too, anyone else?

 

Not me, I bought mine from Freedom Ford on Military Highway in Nawf*ck.

 

Whatever happened to that Army guy from Hampton? I don't see him post much anymore. And WTH is Raoul? Is he still herding cats, I mean goats?

 

Raoul? Haven't seen him post since that thread about the Norfolk Ford plant closing in the GD forum.

 

Virginia Beach Here. Question for the Hampton Road posters....

I currently have a 2003 F-150 and got it from Cavalier Ford, but i'm looking to trade it in for a 2006 here real soon. Anyone recommend a different dealer?...or should I stick with Cavalier?

Thanks in advance....

 

Hey man, I got mine from Bowditch Ford here in NN. That was the 2nd best buying experience I have ever had. Williamsburg Honda was the 1st best. Good luck......
