I was never a “ford guy” until the Atlas concept truck. I had an 02 explorer in college and really liked it. I liked my 07 ram I had.. minor bulls*** stuff like wheel bearings and water pumps but it was a good truck for 170k and 7 years... except for the rust issue that was just starting. They gave me 10k and I gave 14,500 for it used in 08... that’s hard to beat!! I think I’m really going to like this new truck.. but the f150’s have been in a different league than anything I’ve ever bought before. They’ve been new, loaded and impressive with the eb. I also, like aluminum. Sure it can be quirky but there’s a lot to be said for any chips and nicks not rusting... But time will tell. Mom and Dad just bought a new explorer sport a couple weeks ago and they have already said how much they initially like it. Again, time will tell!
