The wife and I went out to get her a new vehicle 2 weeks ago. We love it! Big comfy car and room for kiddo on the way! Its an XLT with about everything on it. V6 FWD. I would have loved the sport but they go for upwards of 20k more than what I paid for this thing so maybe next time.

I had some extra LEDs lying around so I threw those in. I got some more on the way to finish the interior LEDs and the reverse lights.

I also plan to plastidip the grille black, the roof rails, and the rear badges, possibly the door handles as well.

Very nice. That's what we are going to get Aubrey when we are no longer upside down in her edge. I saw a sport last night when I was walking around North central Ford and had a sticker of $48k. Absolutely retarded for a midsized suv.

Very good! Dealt with a guy named Alex. He was a great salesman, not pushy and wanted to work with us as much as he possibly could. The closing finance guy was great too. He locked in a good finance rate and wasn't pushy on all the extra crap at the end too. Icing on the cake I got to sit in some GT500s during the wait :)

Yeah I had a good experience too. I guess it helped that I mentioned I worked for one of their largest finance companies lol.

ah, I wasn't paying enough attention.

We have the EB in our F150 and I love it. I love it more every time I drive it. A V6 truck?!?! :rice: lol

They actually made an eco-boost 2.0 for these too. I was surprised to find that out.
