basically that, except imagine a big ass Roadrunner on the lift. and a small 2-car garage. and he's wearing orthos, not nikes. the glasses are right, though.

Lot's of changes for me lately! I quit my job and started working for National Tire Wholesale last week as a Business Development Manager and am training in Chicago all this week with them. I love it so far and it seems like it's going to be far less stressful with a higher ceiling for me. Good news is this means I can unload a little more in my Retail Customer thread! I also need a new company vehicle which I get a monthly allowance for. As of right now my wife and I are looking at new campers this year so I'm looking to get into an F-150 for a company vehicle and to tow the camper. I've looked at a couple '19 XL STX's with no success and all of them have kinda been what I want. I found an '18 XLT that comes a little more loaded than the XL and has the Sport appearance package.

The current gen of F-150 drives so well. Amazing truck
My dad has a '16 5.0 and i've spent a lot of time driving it and it's great. I've spent time with it in downtown Chicago and it doesn't feel it's size. I like them.
I'm looking at this one on Thursday on my way back from Chicago. I've already negotiated a price so hopefully it looks as it should and I buy it.

I agree, why waste you time with an F150 when you can get a raptor for the same price? On top of that, you know damn well it will hold its value unlike the F150.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

the same reason you don't buy a Corvette or a Hummer: people will think you're a douche, even if you are in fact, a non-douche.

Who wants a dull old truck when you can buy a "Sports Truck" There is a reason we all have a BMW. We want a "Sports Car"

I drive an M3 because I wanted a semi practical summer sports car, I will drive a truck because I want a truck.

As much as I would drive a raptor it's less practical than an F-150 for a company vehicle. That and it has to be within 4 model years to qualify for the allowance from work.

Congrats on the new job!
I do enjoy the Raptors. I was very close to replacing my Gen1 with an F250. Wife won out and I now have a '17 Gen2. They are fun trucks, but nothing really more than a cool looking F150 (which are pretty cool looking in their own right).
There are constant rumors about putting the Mustang V8 into the raptor, if and only if that happens will Gen2 raptos really take a resale tumble. It's stupid how well they retain their value.

Congrats on the new gig!
I've been impressed with my 2012 f150 xlt with the 5.0. Granted I'm coming from an 03 Tundra. Tows great, comfortable, and better mileage.
Thanks guys! So I pulled the trigger on the blue XLT today and I'm picking it up tomorrow. It's a 2.7 Ecoboost which is all I really need for what I tow. It's got everything I wanted in a truck other than the tailgate step ladder but I suppose my knees can hold out for a bit longer and I'll roll my fat ass in the bed. Funny thing about the raptor is my wife is 100% on board and says it's the only truck she'd drive but the practicality just isn't there for me to drive one every day. Maybe her next vehicle...

When has practicality ever been on the top of our list?
I'm just giving you a hard time. Congrats on the new truck. Post up a pic!
