Some horrible quality pics of my new ride

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.







Anyone want a First Gen Lightning, its for sale. Later

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

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
