5.0 . didn't want to wait another 3 mos. or so for the ecoboost. I don't really think the mileage is really gonna be that much better either.

14/19 is what it's rated. i got about 19 in the Frontier almost all highway. I do like the 36 gallon tank. Expensive fill ups but not as often.

That truck looks awesome, man! I'll have to show this to my buddy who has an '06 F-150. His is an XLT 4x4 and nowhere as nice but I know he'll appreciate it.

Could you get me a closer picture of the gauges, please? I'm a sucker for a swanky gauge cluster and from what I can see, those look nice.

I think it's fun. It's an easy way to spot who's got a new ride.

Congrats! Looks real nice.

If you can, let me know what the real world mileage is with the 5.0. I'll probably go down the same route in a few months, but as of yet undecided with the 5.0 or ecoboost.

Ford only offers a manual in the SuperDuty line of trucks.

I love what Ford is doing with their trucks these days. When I got my TL I sold my 1998 F150 and I still miss that thing. I got her to 280,000 miles and she was still going strong. That one experience will forever make me a Ford guy!

I'm starting to get the truck itch in a bad way and it's only been about a year without one (it's the southern guy in me). I am really looking at the new 2011 Lariat Limited F-150. I know it's not for everyone but I really like it. I will definitely make a new truck my next vehicle purchase though... no matter what model it is. But I'm definitely going Ford!

Great pick up!

Having worked with a Ford dealer for a bit, I have to say I was very much impressed by the F150's. They've come a very long way and really are very sweet rights.

Congrats on the purchased. Enjoy!!

One of the GMs I know drives a Raptor. Thing is a flat out beast

There are actually a few special models of the F150 I wouldn't mind driving.
