Why?
So when someone tells me "I get 40 mpg with my daily driver", I can tell them I get 10mpg. Also use it to haul my little camper around.

i drive mine because i like knowing i can move anything. I also love driving a truck. Also, f150's dont come with a diesel. I recently moved 7000 lbs of dirt in the bed and it leveled it out. not only will i never not have a diesel, but also a super duty.

I miss my '01, but I traded it in on the green F-150 when I stopped hauling cars and stuff around, once I get back 'Stateside I'll hopefully be getting into another one

the room was so much better than the F-150 (I'm 6'4") and I miss the stickshift, plus getting out to lock in the hubs kept my wife from messing aorund in it too much


it went every I needed it to, did everything I needed it too

I bought mine to use once a year when going hunting to Colorado. I haul a drop in camper and pull a trailer with ATV & camping equipment. Sometimes I drive it when we get a lot of snow, otherwise it sits in the garage most of the year.

I also wanted a 4x4 XLT supercab with 8' bed, manual tranny, manual hubs and the V-10 with 4.30 rear end. Took a while to find it, but I got what I wanted.

I dont care what people say about the 5.4. i can pull and haul whatever i want. i love my 4:10 gears. i have an 8 foot bed that i can have a toolbox in and put anything else i like in the back. and i can throw 6 people in my supercab.

now, when she gets her tuner, headers, and dual exhaust, shell have a little more power.

lets face it, nothin is sexier than a superduty

I DON'T own a Super Duty b/c I don't have a need for one, My F-150 pulls my trailer (4000lbs loaded) perfectly BUT I would love to have one. My only reason for not owning one is that I rarely use my 150. If I was rich I would make a 450 my daily driver. I DO love the 2011's.

I guess you don't know what "perfectly" means

If a 150 can't do 4000 pounds perfectly Ford is in the wrong business.

But perfect is when you take the 4000lb enclosed 16' trailer up a steep grade and you stay at 1800 rpm...
