What am I doing.......Uh Oh new truck possibly

[dixie_boysles]

Well the day has come that I though I would never see and it may be a big surprise to many----I think I am going full-size! I never thought i would and would always be in a Ranger, but when you have a baby on the way and no back seats or back doors in the Ranger, it's time to move on

I have scoured the interwebs and finally found the truck I was looking for at a STEAL of a price of $14000 with only 76k miles. Truck is owned be a retired guy that puts like 8k on it a year.

2004 SuperCrew 4x4 Fully Loaded
Black Leather Seats
5.4 V8 Triton
tinted windows
brandnew michelins

yes im aware of some issues with the 04-05 F150s, and I will be sure to check the Carfax and go over the truck well before I buy it.

Going to look and possibly pick it up today if I like it in person, but the pictures do quite a bit of justice.

Ol Red will be For Sale, or going to a Sale.

Good looking truck! Shoot me the vin and I'll look at it on this end for you.

 

[dixie_boysles]

I dont have it yet, going to get it today, i have a car dealer best friend that is going with me and he will run the VIN too

Nice looking truck. Kids make you change the modes of transportation you own. It's all part of being a parent.

Is that by chance it's the same color as your Ranger....

Sharp truck...looks very well cared for. Regardless of how well cared for it was though, I'd be willing to bet you'd have it in pieces detailing it by the weekend.

Looks nice, hope everything checks out good on it. Good luck.

I wouldnt disassemble it, but you can bet it would have a fresh coat of wax and a few hours of work in it!

That's a great looking truck. Good luck with the sale/purchase going through.

The 04-05's aren't really that bad when it comes to having issues. They're good trucks.

This is such a hard decision. Ive been in a ranger for 6 years! i should made a pole. I have people (ranger buddies) telling me not too, and others saying great idea. but I DO have a baby on the way

 

[slmann]

anyway to keep the Ranger and move up to a full size?

it's a tough call but having the full size will let you get the whole family in the truck.

 

[smokey]

I had a dent when the kids were little but kept the rangers also.
With just one the ranger will work but with two or more ankle bitters the ranger was a no go. Even the dent the booster seats took up way to much room.
Finally got a 4 door car a tempo AWD to haul everyone in. The mustang wasn't kid friendly plus I didnt want to soil the interior with kid germs.

At 14,000 and 76,000 miles that sounds like a steal!

 

[polarbear]

wait... wait...

baby on the way... what'd I miss?

Oh, and


Now- this is the guy that removes the bed to detail his truck. I hope he doesn't turn psychotic on us when junior starts launching cheerios in the back seat.

Dude... There is no looking back. Once you're out of a small truck you'll never go back.
