5 guys with an 09 responded so far. 3 have chips, and 2 don't because they put the special film on for an added cost. The couple others like you don't own a 2009+ truck so you can't say you don't get the chips if you get the chips or not. I love negative people. They make me happy I am not them. Please do not respond to me anymore. I only want hear from people who have the 2010. Thanks.

 

Just wait until these jokers see me come home with a FX4 tomorrow.

Feed my Frankenstein. Hungry for F-150's and it's feeding time!!!

hahaha you're a joke, this whole thread is a joke, and it is a complete waste of time. it has gotten nothing acomplished and needs to be locked. why even make a thread asking for peoples opinions on something if you are just going to argue back against it. a mod needs to just go ahead and lock this one and let it die.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Oh my God, let me catch my breath.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If you do, we'll all know just what a sad, confused person you are. You just spent all this time telling us how stupid we are for wasting money on a truck like that with the "manicure package". How nobody will use those options but once in the truck's lifetime.

What happened to your "Buy what you need" mentality. Lord knows you've said it enough times in this thread along. You've also told us over and over again how you don't need any of the options the FX4 or Lariats offer, now you're saying you're considering buying one?

There's a big difference between these two trucks, much more than just stickers and the locker diff. But if you are going to buy a house with the money you can save buying an XL, by all means, get the XL + the house!

 

HOLY CRAP!!!!
I had to stop at page three to post how entertaining this thread is!!!!
Excuse me while I go back & continue to see how (or when) this ends!!!
See Ya Soon???

 

Red, I keep reading the front bumpers do chip easily on these trucks. There was a thready about it. F ast and a few others commented on this. I wonder if they changed thier painting method or material?

 

So how will those sandbags help if your tires start spinning? Won't it hurt your back to have to load and unload sandbags? If you just keep them in the back at all times, isn't that a big waste of cargo space, not to mention a drain on your fuel economy since you're hauling around all that extra weight all the time?

You can't even follow your own logic! The base FX4 comes standard with the 5.4L engine. So you MUST include that in the price difference, whether you "need" it or not.

That's fine, except that the 3.73 electronic locker comes so you DO need to account for that when discussing the price difference between the 2 trim levels. Whether you feel you "need" it or not.

It's not $6000 for just the grille. Have you even attempted to really add up the cost of the differences, or are you just going to say each individual option isn't worth the overall cost difference?

Heated seats were brought up because they are an option that the FX4 offers that the XL does NOT. You had said earlier that ...
To me, that doesn't mean a just base model FX4, but any FX4 out there, including those with heated seats. It's very simple, you can't add the luxury heated seats that you can get in an FX4 for a couple hundred dollars.

Which is it? It's your total lack of logic and reasoning that makes your posts a joke.

Really?

Liar liar, pants on fire.

Interesting, didn't you just say this?
Again, you say one thing, then the opposite. I really want to know who made you Emperor of Option Usage? I don't think there's a single option on my truck that I've only used once, or even twice!

We know, he's the only person you've listened to in this entire thread because he's told you what you wanted to hear. You haven't listened to anyone with a different point of view. It's easy enough to figure out that he's your "friend" who told you about his XL and you're simply regurgitating whatever he told you.

With the way you've acted around here, you'll be waiting a loooooong time for an apology from anyone.

I bet he gets a Toyota!!! OR maybe a Big Wheel!!!

 

i'm really enjoying this. I like this forum alot

 

Beginning to think Red's just a master debater pulling on our chains.

I will say this... an FX4 is closer to an XL than a Lariat is to an XL. From what I understand, the FX4 is the "fanciest" XL (XL, XLT, FX4), and a Platinum is the "fanciest" Lariat (Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum). I am one of the lucky few with a chip (maybe an eighth inch by an eighth inch) on my painted bumper, but only I would notice such a thing. Not trying to back 'ol Red here. This is one funny thread.

Red, go out and buy you that Platinum today and post some pics while you're at it.

 

the funny part is that RedRobin51 is talking about adding all these aftermarket "options", later on donw the road and paying for themon his/her/its high interest credit therefore costing about 5-6 times what they would ahve costs if he had financed them on a better optioned truck over a period of 6 years...

 

Welcome friend!

Not all threads are this amusing, some of them actually have people who are willing to learn something.

This is hands down the best F150 site out there. Tons of information on almost every question you can think of. This guy didn't bother to search (the button near the top of your screen that says "search"), but it's a great feature of the site and I strongly suggest checking out it if you have any questions.

agreed

Say, who wants to make my truck a Raptor?

 

hahahah if an XL was essentially a platinum..why wouldn't everyone just buy an XL then and save themselves $10,000...i think you are the only person that thinks this.
