Unless you want to be the lab rat. I've owned three F150s and the 2009 I currently own is the worst. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 25, 2015 at 5:36 PM, davehogye <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dlhogye@comcast.net" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:dlhogye@comcast.net">dlhogye@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex" data-mce-style="margin: 0 0 0 .8ex; border-left: 1px #ccc solid; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"><div>The new aluminum truck is said to weigh 700lbs. less than the last steel version. That's a lot of weight off during daily driving routines and the towing and payload has gone up. Sounds good to me. I built a SuperCrew FX4 version on line, no leather or sunroof thank you, and got the price up to $46K. Now they are offering up to $8K in discounts and incentives.
