I've never been a big fan but my step dad came to MS in his to tow my SRT-4 back to Houston.

I'm very impressed... our total weight we pulled was 1580lbs.. (NOT including the trailer and car)

Most of that was in the bed of the truck and random stuff packed into the car.

Our total weight was around 11,XXX lbs.

Averaged about 15mpg (bout the same as my Titan got EMPTY) and it pulled straight and aweasome. It even stopped just fine too...

(yes, I know you're suppose to pull on the trailer the other way but the bumper hit before the car would pull all the way forward and allow you to use the tire straps)

My dad has an '05 King Ranch Screw 4x4. Its the most comfortable truck Ive ever driven. With the 5.4l I managed to make it from here, to San Diego on one tank.

Eff Juan Fiddys are nice vehicles.

The Belt Minder? All newer Fords do that. Not as bad as Toyota's though...

So far it's been a great purchase, uses a little bit more fuel than I'm used to. Took $74 to fill up the other day, but so far I've driven 200 miles and used up a tad more than a quarter tank.

The F150 is the top New Car and Used Car search on Autotrader in the Pittsburgh area. And has been for over 3 years now.

We sell every F-150 we get in within a week. I like them but I'm real partial to this 08 Titan King Cab I've been driving lately. If gas wasn't $3.60 a gallon and I didn't drive 100 miles a day (no bs) I'd buy it for myself.

That's why I have my Neon, for my 100-mile drive to school and back. Though gas is $4.00 gallon out here. Put $35 in yesterday and it didn't fill it up all the way :( Used to fill it up with a tad under $30.

Hell, I used to fill my car up for less than $20.

And my F-350 for less than $70.

Now, it takes $40-50 to fill the neon and over $200 to fill the F-350. (diesel prices, ugh) Which is also why the F-350 just sits with a battery minder on it.
