New Owner!!!!!
2002, XLT Supercrew, 4.6L, towing package. Bright Red no 2 tone (needs a pinstripe or something REAL BAD)!!!!!
I wanted this truck since it came out but a new house was alittle more important. I was a Nissan owner for the last 18 years prior to making the jump. I really needed (AND LIKE) the interior room, but have to admit, I was alittle disappointed with the interior layout. I found VERY LITTLE dash storage, the center pulldown console does not even hold CD's!!!! The power seat is OK, though I think very overpriced (It was in it, had to take it kinds thing) and should at least have a memory switch. I took me 10 minutes to get it somewhat comfortable, and now if the wife drives, she has the same problem, then I have to find my seating again!!!
I like the ride and the height of the truck (tough cleaning the windshield though). My Pathfinder had 31/10.5 tires, they would look great on this monster!!!!! I hear they are a bear on Gas but I will have to wait and see.
I am at a lose about the bed. DO I go liner (and worry about it rubbing down the paint and stuff sliding) or do I go with a mat!!!! Ford dealer has a mat for $86.oo Is that a good price. My concern is, with a bed extender, do you have to cut the mat for the rubber bumpers to sit on, or is the Ford version already set up for this?????
Would LOVE some advice!!!!!
Thanks, GREAT site, GREAT TRUCK
