If you cant afford your groceries how do you have good enough credit to buy a new car??????????????????????????????????????????
I think we all know the answer to that!!

My cousin was waffling on a new Tahoe. He ended up buying a Tahoe LS (no leather) and paid someone $1500 to swap the cloth for leather. The glitch: a factory LT trim (leather) would have heated seats, his aftermarket upgrade didn't.

Google Mullianx Ford, I rarely can beat their prices (one lowest price on the windshield type place). Their used trucks literally cost the same as a brand new one, so don't bother looking at those. Nice thing is if you print one of their deals then you know a local Ford store "could" match the deal if they wanted to move another unit.

My 2019 came from an out of area Mullinax store, they delivered it to my business, I never went to the dealer.

Why bother with the daily driver?

Modern diesels are so refined you will WANT to drive it everyday. I drive my 4 door, Long Wheel Base diesel F350 everywhere, and we take it over my wife's Yukon because it's more comfortable.

But they have run the hell out of the massage seats!!

Thats too funny. I drive a SWF350 and my wife drives a Yukon. We use the F350 when traveling most of the time. I guess thats why I have 72k miles and she has 25k.

Well then they've done something to the suspension of the SDs and gone away from E rated tires (not possible). My 350s and 250s all would knock your teeth out, hence the reason for purchasing a 150, that and the fact I'm not towing at the present time.

Ive got the long bed and its really not that bad. I had a 99 F250 and you would piss blood after 200 miles in that beast but it definitely had a heavier payload then my 350. I had to put airbags on this 350.

You can get a new truck with the 3rd seat in front for about 10K less than one with the console.
Does not compute.

Yes let me know, I also don't like carpet in my trucks but would like nice seats. I just talked with the VP at work and we picked up a new tradesman type of truck and he said the seat is very uncomfortable. But the guys we have driving don't care.
