Tomorrow

Tomorrow I am going to look at a F150 Supercrew. Gas mileage is scary but the rough riding uncomfortable Colorado I am driving now is only getting 17 mpg. Man is my wife going to be ticked.

It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Go for it!

I find it kind of amusing guys at work have to ask their wives if they can buy a new truck. Grow a pair! My wife usually finds out I've been looking at trucks when she finds a new F-150 in the driveway when she comes home from work.

For being a 4X4 with 44 psi in the tires, my FX4 rides like a Cadillac. Doesn't ride like a truck at all.

You'll be alright. Ditching the Chevy for a Ford, very smart move. I had a 05 Silverado before this one, granted it was a 2500HD with a 6.0L gas, it got 11mpg and wasn't all that comfortable, I said F it and got my F150, currently getting 16.2mpg and enjoying the super smooth as buttler drive it provides. And only an XLT and so comfortable! I better never get a Lariat or i'll fall asleep behind the wheel
