Oh believe me, a RWD coupe is what I want too.........the truck has two doors and is RWD
Nah I'm just messing with you, I've had a Mustang, and of course my CL, I wanted something different. So I got a truck.

I don't need it, per say, but it's just something I've wanted. It's nice to be able to drive through deep puddles, go over bumps on the highway without having to dodge them, having my headlights light up the entire road (the CL was low, so I couldn't see shit), I'm no longer blinded by fucking X5s.......

The list goes on. I wanted the most radical difference from my CL I could get.

Congrats Minch, the truck looks good, I like the dice thumbsup:

I definitly feel you on the whole dogging the pot and having to drive slow at night cause the headlights only light up the street 2 feet in front of you and having to practially stop at speed bumps.

Wow your going from a CL to a truck? I dont get it? Either way the truck is nice! I just wonder how long it's going to take you to realize that a car > truck in ride quality. Also Ford trucks tend to get squeaky after awhile.

Not when you're lowered and on low pros......the truck is smoother over the same roads. My CL was squeaky and had rattles too....not bad, but just enough to annoy me after a while.

First a Mustang, now an F-150. Damn, if I hadn't met you I'd think you were a redneck.

Truck looks good. Put some slighly bigger wheels on, get tint, and maybe exhaust.

I'm the furthest thing from a redneck you're ever going to find while still being white and born in the South....


I'm thinking of putting some 20" wheels, like some 33-36 inch tires, tint, dual exhaust, step bars and some chrome exterior pieces to replace the black plastic ones.....
