Sometimes it’s just time to move on. We can all acknowledge that, at some point in our lives, we had to give up a ride we loved in order to simply get something newer, either literally or maybe just new to us.

This week’s ride is a 2007 Ford F-150 FX4, and it is far from stock.

It’s always a great thing to see when someone treats their Ford right. It’s all too often that someone gets their hands on a sturdy Ford and beats it to hell, not bothering to give it any of the respect and care it deserves.

It’s never hard to see why people love the Ford F-150. They are simply magnificent trucks. Not only are they wonderful working rigs, but they’re also great daily drivers, have a huge aftermarket of parts, and are stronger than anything.

Welcome to Texas, homes of endless droughts, hot summers, and — most of all — great trucks.

It’s impossible not to love a clean Ford F-150. They are, after all, pretty perfect. Over the years the F-150 has always been an admirable truck, and as the 2016 model rolls around that doesn’t seem to have changed. And we hope that it never does.

Some people just like to use their Ford truck as a daily driver. There is no shame in that. In fact, my respect goes out to all the people who do.
