Never owned a Ford before

Godzilla has to be the best name for a truck engine.

Pretty sure Kia means oh s h i t in Korean lol
 
I had a 2011 F-150 FX4 for nine years. It was an awesome truck, never had any issues and handled everything I thru at it.

Other than upsizing the tires, installing an CAI, MagnaFlow exhaust and upgrading the stereo to one with CarPlay it was basically FX4 stock. I Loved that truck!

I recently upgraded to the Ram 2500 Power Wagon 6.4L HEMI with a DiabloSport Pulsar ECM chip. When I hit the gas the truck (as big as it is) nearly takes flight! I also really like all of the other bells and whistles like cameras, lane change assist, heated seats, etc.

I looked at the 2020 FORD F250, but at the time, I found the interior lacking and the infotainment system fairly generic for my specific tastes. I do love the stance and attitude of the F250 and it drips in street cred and capabilities.

They wanted more than $10k above the Power Wagon for the mid level F250 though, so I went with the Ram.

I’ve been driving the PW for a couple of years now and loving it.
I really hope you enjoy the F250 as well!

Same, a Powerwagon…hate all the whistles and especially the bells, though. It will romp a typical 250 off road, of course.
It’s a grandpa truck vs my last Ford imo, hoping it remains usable longer.
My buddy got a new 250/Godzilla a month or so ago, a short video she made of it in action.

I'm only speaking from my F150. But its an amazing truck that trouble free and has never let me down. Does everything its supposed to and it does it so well.
 
I was lucky enough to get a good deal on a F-150 Platinum and it came with the everything package (technology pac, luxuary pac, off road pac, class 4 towing pac and the extended fuel cell pac). Its the only vehicle I've ever owned that can give you message during a cross country road trip, while towing a house in the sand, while also being your dedicated mobile wifi hotspot, so your family can download astral charts and star gaze thru the full panoramic sun-roof. This truck is an absolute pleasure to drive.

I agree, I had an xlt f150 prior to buying a Platinum f150 4x4 and I will never go back to another trim. The Platinum trim literally has it all. The massage seats are the cherry on top.
 
I was too cheap for the XLT and stole some Bronco wheels for mine.

****I ordered and xl with awd and spray in bedliner on 7/17.
Salesman calls 8/8 say's
might want to order an xlt, possibly get it faster.
So did that, xlt with same options and kept both orders. Figured if they both came in around same time i'd sell one keep the other. The xl still isn't scheduled for production so gonna cancel it.
Picked up the xlt and salesman asked if i wanted to sell it. Nah, it has a home now.

I see they mount a pullup bar on the front bumper to make it easier to crawl back out from under it.

It would be nice if your Mercedes had something similar for all the time you spend working on it.

Thats aftermarket, you idiot! Some people install them so they can pull Fords out of the ditch.
 
Had a 69 Dodge Daytona Charger, 440 Magnum 6 Pack and automatic years ago, ran pretty well. Only owned it for a few months, someone came along and offered me many times what I had in it, so it went down the road.
 
I keep telling my wife she needs a new car and a Scatpack Charger would be perfect. She is almost convinced. :)

Do it now before Dodge phases out the big motors for electric and small displacement turbo motors. Unless you are into that kinda' thing I suppose.

As much as I hate electric cars and their absolutely hideous (kitty cat) repellent designs. I gotta admit they go pretty fast.
 
The Dodge dealers are marking up the rare versions sometimes $50,000 to $100,000 above sticker.

A friend of mine inherited a 2005 Cadillac XLR from her dad. Kinda cool, kinda weird. I'm starting to get used to the Cadillac accents on a Corvette type car.
