Nice, you'll take advantage of it for sure, there's a couple common problems on those 5.4s that are a PITA. I was looking at one here a week ago, not FX4 but loaded crew 4x4 w/5.4l and sunroof I almost pulled the trigger, but held back for now. I'm torn between the Chevy and Ford.

wait on the 4.4 v-8 diesel from Ford in 2010 or 2011. it will get like with 4x4 approximately 20% better fuel mileage than a 5.4 liter v-8 gasser.

sorry but your full of shit. Ford's A plan is the same for everyone. I worked for Ford.

I know for a fact, my service manager at the time was buying an f150 and we were talking about how their discounts work for employees.

Just wondering, what options does it have on top of the FX4 package? Get those pics up.

I think I'm going to go test drive the chev and ford back to back tomorrow.

I'm lovin' this thing! It has the parking sensors....which is good because I'm not used to the size of this thing. I also didn't know it has the 6 disc changer with the audiophile sound system which has a 10" sub....which suprised the shit out of me!. When I picked it up, they gave me a full tank of gas and so far, I've driven 46 miles and haven't dipped below full yet. All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase!

Chevy, Ford, and Toyota have been giving these things away. Haven't seen much for Nissan yet...

But I don't know much about the FX4 market... so sounds like a good deal to me if that's the model you want. Congrats
BTW, spoke too soon. Saw a Nissan commercial last week. 45% off MSRP on all Nissan trucks

^ Not sure if those deals are everywhere since that was a local Nissan dealer's commercial.

I spoke to a friend of mine in NY who said he hasn't seen prices that low on any brand up there... so it may be regional.

Se we get to talking....I get the truck for $18600 with an extended warranty until 2012 with $9500 down for $206 per month. I pick it up Monday night....

You can get a well loaded Titan for $18k easily. Nissan was discounting $15k off Titan MSRP.

They were the best looking too, until the new GMC came out. Im cross shopping trucks right now, it's a tough call, I still need to get into an F-150, either way I should have a thread like this in the up coming months.
