Title: Some horrible quality pics of my new ride
Post by: chrome302jr on July 16, 2005, 07:36:06 PM
I couldnt pass up the deal on this, 2005 F150 XLT 5.4 Triton, towing package, supercab. I got the Ford employee discount, plus $3000 cashback, plus $1300 cashback on the 5.4/towing package upgrade. Put $2500 down, and owe less than $19K on a $30+ truck. It worked out well. The pics were taken with a camera phone so dont flame me too bad. Its got the optional upgraded rims and the 300hp 5.4 is pretty quick lol.

There's a whole lot more to the GT motor than just a SC. :D

Thats a beautiful truck, I would love to get myself a new Ford and you got a  good deal on that...But wait, the 5.4 has 300HP? I knew it was good didnt know the exact specs though, thats great! For what you pay on a hemi ram, sheesh. I was gettin really tired of the hemi ram, everyone is blowing it out of proportion on the power when a 5.4L F-150 with a intake and a superchip would be the same if not better and save yourself about 5grand(guesstimate)

I was looking at 2004 F150's and I could get a 2005 nearly cheaper, so I went for it. I figure its an investment and way to build credit, and if I decide to sell I wouldnt have to worry about losing money like a typical new car.

The 2004 & 2005 5.4 are 3 valve variable timing upgraded to 300hp/365trq.

I was kinda somewhat looking for a 2003/04 cobra, but decided that they have way too many problems for a $30k vehicle, and honestly wouldnt be practical for me.

Before I post the 93 Lightning on autotrader, is anyone interested. Its in excellent mechanical condition, 111300miles on the stock engine, fairly new tires, new fuel pump/filter, front rotors/pads/bearings. Im asking $5500, Nada value puts it at $6775. I want to see it go to a good home. Its located in Atlanta, let me know. Later guys

Hey Ronnie, don't sell the Lightning just yet.... I'm thinking about it...

You'll need to bring it back to VA...
