Thumbs up Glad to be back!



I found this gem of a truck and couldn't resist! I never even considered blue flame as silver was my primary color choice but this truck made me literally turn my head!! It's a 2011 4x4 5.0 with XLT Plus, Covenience, Chrome, tow, and off-road packages with 3.73 limited slip axle. I was a little sad to let go of my 2010 Ram with the hemi (darn sweet truck!) but the deal was too good to pass up. I'm super stoked to be back with Ford!

Nice rig! Once the driver and passenger windows get tinted she'll really come together.

I realize the 5.0 ain't broke in yet but what are your initial thoughts on 5.0 vs Hemi?

I'm not a dodge fan but the Hemi's a decent motor.

You will probably enjoy the fact that you can now pass a gas pump and not have to stop..... Congrats... I somewhat miss my blue flame '10.....

Thanks! She puts a smile on my face every time I see her. Tint and line x are the first mods to come. As for the 5.0 vs Hemi- I have to admit I miss the Hemi growl but this 5.0 is definitely no push over. I didn't even put the ecoboost up for consideration as I don't tow anything and love the sound of the 5.0s wide open throttle!

Your truck does not have a limited slip, having the offroad package it will have the e-locker in the rear end.

Very nice truck. I like the color combo. The Hemi sure does scream, but so does the 5.0!

I haven't even made the first payment and have already had to replace my windshield, received a nice door ding on my driver's side door (it looks like a middle finger jester every time I see it), got my front bumper (driver's side) nicely scratched up thanks to the fine folks at the Washtub, and a crappy 'premium' tint job from a well-respected installer. Washtub tried to say my scratch was already there (total BS as I'm very **** about noticing new scratches) but since it's their word against mine I have no bark in that fight, and the tint has soo many freaking bubbles it looks like a disco ball.

I can handle any ding/dent/scratch of my doing- it is a truck in the end and I intend to use it that way; however, it would have been nice to have kept her in 'new' condition for at least the first month. Just had to vent...

Yeah man that sucks. I hit a pallet at 70 mph on I-70 last week on my way to the airport...... I wanted to cry.... Left a rub mark on the passenger side back door... I will have to work on it next time I get some time to hand wash it.... No dents or scratches though.
