101a (XL) with the STX package is a great value. I was going to go with just a plain XL, but when I saw what STX had to offer, it was a no brainer.

Yes, I would say 3.55 is plenty for a 2.7. Not sure if I would personally go lower than that if I were towing often or heavy loads, but you should definitely not limit it to 3.73. Also, regarding brake controllers: You can get a factory unit installed cheap. It's already prewired. Just get...

Take what mechanics say with a grain of salt. They have their bias just like the rest of us. Also remember that V8's made up only about 25% of all F150 sales, so the shops see more ecoboosts naturally. Any of the engines should serve you just fine. Main advantage of 5.0 and 3.5 is the higher...

I'm guessing you'll see some crazy incentive in the next 8 weeks. Seasonal deals and GM trying to recover from the strike.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be a rocket. That engine in a Supercrew is already a monster. But in a "work truck", I'd rather save up front and get slightly better mileage (mostly because I won't be tempted to go into boost!) :D

Yup, follow the manual. Companies do their due dilligence. Extreme temps, like the Ford rep says, keep it running! ;)

You could even do better than $36k https://www.lithiafordboise.com/new/Ford/2019-Ford-F-150-Boise-ID-4f9719a70a0e0ae70589baa372ca0438.htm?searchDepth=11:66 And that's a supercrew. Supercab would be slightly cheaper...

A friend of mine just got the same truck, except with the V6. He loves it. I like that it's all set to go straight out of the box.

You said you bought it used. Was it a salt/rust belt truck?

I looked up Torque Pro and it’s $15. But I’m on iOS. It’s also only got 10 reviews at 3 stars. Looks like a cool app though.

I've always wanted to do the Rim Rocker trail in west colorado. https://rimrockertrail.org/

I've seen some shady dealers spray pretty much the whole underside with black spray paint. It's very obvious, but maybe not to most buyers. The dealer you're buying from seems to have good reviews, though. Good luck. Take I70 back and hit some national parks along the way.

There are lots of dealers with these Canadian trucks. Even small ones. I'm assuming there is a huge importer selling them at auctions. I haven't seen any new vehicles, though (not sure if you are asking about new or used)--all are used.

It was my understanding places near Calgory (Airdrie, AB to be exact) uses salt quite heavily? I could be mistaken. But lots coming from that providence.

As mentioned before, check the Carfax. If this is the same truck you're looking at, it's from Canada. Lots of (rusty) trucks coming to the states from up there. Granted it's only now ~1.5 years old, I wouldn't touch one, personally. The carfax link is right on the dealer site.

Check Kendall and Lithia in Boise. Better deals. Even if you custom order.

If you do go used, check Carfax. Not for accidents. But to see where it’s from. There are a ton of salt/rust belt trucks being bought at auction and sold out near your area (western states), where they can get more money for them. Rust belt not only includes the NE, but also lots of Canadian...

You may want to go take your rear facing baby seat and test fit it in all those midsize trucks. Hope you or your wife is on the shorter side. Then if you say you have visitors who will ride in the truck. That’s gonna get tight pretty fast back there. If you want to keep it midsize, you may want...

Later down the road, I may contact companies like RCI or White Knuckle to see if they would make one.

I know what you mean by the salesman. I had one guy try to sell me on a Lariat when I wanted a XL/STX. I told another guy exactly what I wanted, including all the options and his first words were, well, that’s the wrong truck for you. This is what you want. Morons. Are you opposed to a 3.5? I...
