PIC: Interesting note. While Ford is, for all intents and purposes...
getting out of the domestic passenger car market, it looks like it will set an all-time record for F 150 sales. It's headed for over 900,000 F Series trucks this year. GM is trying to compete but has to lump all (Chevy and GMC) their full size and mid-size trucks together to get close to Ford's numbers on the F Series. Click here. I really hate to see them phasing out cars but the market is sure speaking loudly about trucks, SUVs and CUVs.

John, we also got the F-150 bug in April and sprung for a 2018 Lariat Super Crew model. We traded a Ford Edge in on it. Have to say, what a truck! Tons of room. With the 3.5L turbo Ecoboost, the thing will tow almost 13,000 lbs. Nav, 20" wheels (chrome), panoramic roof, 10 speaker sound system. Leather.
I now understand why Ford sells as many F-150's as they do. Quite the package.

They are great trucks. I have been driving one since 1998.
My most recent is a 2008, and I have had it for 10 years. I've kept it so long because it still performs like new, never had anything wrong with it.

I bought my 2004 Expedition new and have hauled everything from a load of dirt behind the seats to 7,000+ pounds of boat and cargo. I love that thing and have no intention to ever sell it. It's like a new truck everytime I get in and drive it.
Looks and runs like new too with only 80,000 miles on it.
