No more hauling 100s of pounds of pellets in the back seat of my car...

I've been a Ford Dealer guy for most of my life and I can tell you that is one of the most reliable small trucks on the road! Built like a tank! They have twice the frame of any imports. Had a 94 myself and drove the wheels off of it. Sold it to a close friend, and he has put 167000 miles on that thing. Good buy!

Good to know!   I'm happy I snatched this one up now.  (there were 4 other people, and 1 dealership interested in it)

It drives nice, and isn't as "truck like" as I was expecting.

It's got a few warts, but there is another Blue Oval Angel on the forum that is helping with that..

Mrs: "Pat bought a truck?"
Me:  "Yes, that's what I said..."

Me:  "Yes, PAT BOUGHT A TRUCK..."

Pat bought a Truck?

When I moved to the Country, it took me about a week to realize that I had to have a truck.

First off, there is no Garbage service so you have to haul your own to a collection station.

And then there was 4 wheelers, boats, deer camp, etc.

NOW you will be the one that gets ask to haul this or that for a neighbor. ;D

Probably all your neighbors are saying ............. Pat BOUGHT a TRUCK! YEAH!

I was one of the few without a truck..   All the guys at work have them.  All my neighbors have them.    Some never move - they just sit in the garage until they need to haul something.

I've been waiting and waiting for a 4 Sale sign to pop out on one..

This was the perfect opportunity, as I was just about to schedule a $$$$ appointment for suspension/belts/timing chain repairs on my old Sebring.  And even then, the transmission in that thing was a ticking time bomb.


I'll see if they have it sitting on the lot when I go by there again..

Son wanted a NEW Sebring (2000) for Graduation and I was stupid enough to get it for Him.

Kids and a Sebring don't go good together.

I should have got Him a Truck with rubber bumpers!
