supercrew is a 4 door with plenty of room in the back seat area. Not sure what they call the 2 door now but only has storage room behind the front seats. go to the Ford web site and check them out. Build and price a truck with different options

aky,

Where to star, hmmm.. Depending on what you want to do with the truck will sway your purchase.

1.) Budget

2.) Do you haul anything ie. boat, camper etc.. etc..

3. ) Do you want to take more than two passengers...

These are just a few questions I asked myself before buying my truck.

Here is one regret I have.. 5.4 motor over the 4.6. I'm not saying the 4.6 is bad but, let's face it, this puppy ways close to 3 tons. It's a hog. I have a XLT Super Cab and yes I have kids. It's more than enough for what I need it for. Even being a 4 x 2 it move's through the snow fairly well. Believe me, I just drove it to my parent for the holidays and they had 2 feet of fresh snow.

In all I am very pleased. It's quiet, roomy, and very comfortable to ride in.

So take your time and look around, I would say just about everyone here is pleased with there truck.

thanks for the replies guys and the welcome...

1) Budget well, it depends... i will be financing this... doesnt ford have 0.1% interest like others (GM) do ???

2) well i will not be doing any towing

3) Yes i would like to take more than 1 passenger, not frequently but ocassionaly.

Mainly i want something powerful and something that looks nice... i have no other reason for choosing an F150 other than it's looks (the newer style 2004 and up)

Here's a pic... i really like this one...


HERE

I know alot of extra was done, but that's the look im going for

thanks again guys...

I think that low financing is only if you have almost immaculate credit.

If you don't try your credit union if you belong to one. Credit unions are non-profit where banks will charge you like crazy, same as Ford, GM, etc..

That would be a Super-Crew cab, four full size doors.
If you get a truck like that make sure you get a bigger garage than the one in the picture.

go take some test drives of all of em before u even bother with research. Narrow down which ones u like based totally on how they feel and drive then do your research from there. It sucks to find a truck on paper that is perfect and then get to the showroom and find out you hate the way it rides. Just tryin to save ya some time and frustration.

All dealers may not have all models on their lot at any given time, depends on sales and such. They will most likely have at least a standard cab, a super cab and a super crew but may not have all the bed lengths available. Since you said you're not in a rush, go in and drive what they have, decide what size bed, options and color you want then order it. It could take a while to get there but you'll have exactly what you want in the end.

Welcome to the site and good luck with your shopping!
