Well, I bought a Ford

[waumo1]

Looks good. You say "full length bed" - is that 8ft? Looks shorter than 8ft in the picture.

Amen to that. As long as you didn't buy a Toyota, Nissan. Sharp looking truck! Yea, the GMC dealers can be hard to get a deal. I tried to get another sierra but no luck. So screw them.

 

 

Ford, Chevy, Dodge who cares as long its a American vehicle.

Fords make the nicest half tons IMO, that 5.0 is awesome fuel economy and pretty good power too!! nice truck!

A f150 would be on my short list if shopping for a new truck today... and I'm definitely not a Ford guy. Hope it treats you well.

I'm the same way. The Ford will get a close look when the time comes to replace this as long as they don't ruin it with the 2015 redesign.

I like the style of the Ford but the ride is rougher than the Silverado IMO In either case congrats

6.5 so maybe I should have said "standard bed"? I'm not sure I could wheel an 8ft long bed around as a dd. Thanks for all the compliments everyone! i spent 3 hours Sunday and another 1.5 today taking everything off the Sierra. De-wiring my stereo system and KC Lites was way harder than wiring them. Forgot how many zip ties I used. Little bastards were everywhere.

The difference in the 5.0 and my dad's 5.4 in his 2010 Platinum, with the same gearing, is like night and day.

Nice truck, and if it serves your needs, that's what matters.

I like the Platinums a lot. I have driven the 6.2 engine and its pretty tough. The 5.0 is tough too.

Wish I could stray away from the LS engine line but damn are they a helluva lot easier and less expensive to work on than the dual cams. Enjoy the truck! Maybe one day GM will pull their heads out of their you know whats!

I have two friends (twins, actually) that use Raptors for their construction business and those things are stupid fast with the 4.10 gears, even with 35s.

Well I picked her up this morning and immediately got to work on her.

 

Got the windows tinted this afternoon

 

Red Wolf license plate was the first thing I did to it

 

Took the bedmat from my Sierra and used a razor knife to trim it to fit and then got my toolboxes installed

Congrats. I have a 2002 F150 with 169,000 miles on the clock. The modular motor took some getting used too but it's been a good truck. Currently chasing a misfire on a coil...
