Roof is fully closed & doesn't leak, just rattles more than before.
My wife is due to be out of town when I have my appt scheduled, so I'll use her Flex for a few days. And if it's going to take longer, I'll push my salesman to put me in an '18

Ha, not a chance.
I'd actually be interested to get the same as what I have, a 2.7EB crew cab. Curious to see how the dual-injection (port & direct) slight bump in power & the 10 speed transmission drive.

Ha, no, my appt is mid-November.
May try to get something for a day or two until my wife is out of town.
If I did get an '18, it'd likely be practically identical. Magnetic metallic crew cab XLT Sport. Would probably go with the 2.7 2wd again. But would add a few options the current truck doesn't have & would leave the sunroof off.
Would go Magnetic again because Guard isn't available with the Sport. Guard is hands down probably my favorite Ford color on the F150. Really like the Smoked Quartz on the Explorer too.
RCF is a bit of a departure from the E400 Estate.

That makes for an interesting series of cars. LS - land yacht, WRX - rally car, RC - GT cruiser coupe.
And dad gets stuck with the wagon? Methinks you need a CPO/user E63 Estate, not an E400. Can't let mama have all the fun.

Don't dads in life make all the sacrifices ?
Unsung heroes of the world.
She sees things bit differently.
She sees the LS she had, as a 4 door family car. I had a 04 LS430, which I gave her. She drove it 3 years, before we upgraded. It was my idea to get the 600hL. She wouldn't have known the difference if it had a 1.8L corolla motor
When we were shopping for its replacement after she drove it 8 years, we went through all sorts of choices, from GS-F to WRX. She wanted to get back to a manual trans, so that was an easy quick decision. But after 2 years of driving it, even though ours is the Limited, she misses the luxury and the quality, thus wants to get back to Lexus (her safety zone).
If I could find a clean (proper color) CPO E63, I would get that. I still have two months or so, so my eyes are peeled

No used red E63 Wagons within 500 miles of Houston. Didn't look CPO, probably out of budget (assumption).

I will either buy he new e400 (current dealer offer is $5500 under msrp) and keep 5 years
if used, CPO, I prefer under 25k miles, so I keep it 4 years and when it hits 100k dump it

Nah, I'd be fine with a 502A Lariat Sport & a kart. I'd never use the Raptor like it's meant to be used.
#300
If people only bought things the way they are meant to be used, whole world would be driving a maruti Suzuki 800cc
one intersting thing I noticed lately, in certain parts of town where one wouldn’t be caught seen driving an “American Car,” there are quite a few new raptors making in roads in that demographic
I just wish the ford lettering on the rear tail gate was smaller

No doubt on that.
Just would prefer a more road oriented truck to an off-road truck.
A crew-cab EcoBoost Lightning/Tremor would be perfect.

I need a crew cab though. I could maybe do an RCSB for a daily, but need room for the kids on occasion.

420/450 ain't bad.
Just never was as comfortable in the Tundra as I am in a F150 or Silverado. Tundra would be my #3 pick with the Ram/Titan way down tied for 58th place.

Tundra is fantastic
my issue is with the 5 feet bed in the crew cab it looks ridiculous . Like a fat sumo wrestler up front with a thong in the rear

No doubts about the Tundra, my father-in-law has had one for a few years & it's made the trek from CA to TX a few times. Runs like a champ. I just don't find it as comfortable as mine ![Shrug](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif)

The worst in the full size segment IMO.
Ram, just not a fan. Nothing against Chrysler or anything, just never cared for them.

The clusters are interchangable, lots of people upgrade to the 8" Lariat+ cluster. Just have to have the engine hours & mileage programmed in.

my only 2 complaints about my truck are...
my bluetooth and sync were odd for the first year...it would just suddenly unpair and lose audio.
they didn't beef up rear leif garret springs to accommodate the topper and tools so I bottom out and have a saggy ass (not a Ford issue)...
there's a whine from the rear diff that they keep ignoring. oh well...
Other than that...the thing has been great to me for over 32K miles. on second set of tires...
get in, sport mode, traction off, autoshutofffuckoff off every single time.

Nice!
How is long till you get next truck?
locally most fleet dump their trucks at 50k miles and lease new ones
that’s usually at the 18-24 month mark
