Nice truck how’s the interior

That’s exactly what I’m looking for

Interior is perfect and has all power options. Really cozy too!

I paid $10,900

also I picked up a 36mo/36,000 Mile Warranty for $1,800 More.

Got $6,000 for the Eclipse which is pretty good considering it had some problems.

I'd be curious to some real world gas mileage if possible, in the future, thanks.  Nice looking truck.  .

Sharp truck! Someday I'll have to get rid of my 212K mile '95 F150. When that happens, yours is exactly the kind of ride I'd be looking for. Maybe by then, yours will be available. Hey, call me before you sell it. LOL.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I seem to be really lucky today because I just found a superchips tuner which is usually $400 retail for $100 nearby from a dude! He got rid of his truck and no longer needs it.

I did a lot of research on this on the f150 forums and found out its the best tuner for my truck.

adds 25 horse and 35 tq so I think its worth it.

Also thinking about getting a lightning supercharger! :]

Watch the motor the 5.4 is notorious for spitting plugs.. Check plugs for tightness (for lack of beter word) eevry so often. Awesome looking truck by the way I really like those wheels.

I dunno 43.3 miles (Check out the 3rd Picture) and its only a little off from a full tank of course I put in a brand new K&N filter when I first got it. I am getting loads better mileage than the Cougar which cost the same amount to fill up as the truck. Hell, dare I say close to the Eclipse. That Eclipse was heavy for the engine trying to make it go.

I will take interior pics right now brb.

*Back*

Here ya go wow after taking these I realized how well kept the interior really was!

Hey Cougrrr302, thought you may be interested in the 2008 new truck features:

Ford is adding wire elements to all external rear view mirrors to clear fog and frost.

Dodge is adding wires under the wipers, so they can be freed when frozen and not burn up the wiper motor.

Chevy is adding wire elements to the tailgates on all of their trucks to keep your hands warm while you're pushing them!!

(Just picking on you, man.)

Thanks!

Nope just bought that sticker today for $6.

I love their trucks (For Skateboards) and logo. I have two Independent hats. If you look a little lower you will see the K&N Sticker too. :]

It is funny that my truck is green and I have an Independent sticker on it lol.

I am more for the Democrats this year.
