Ford bot post
Please move to plugs and announcements.

206k miles on my F150. The busted rear bumper just gives it character.

You sir do not own a ford. Please use the closest exit

Just like baby jesus drove.

You're an angry little bot, you must be from the South Pole.

I have 140k BUT it's spread out over 3 trucks.

just broke 100,000 on the 14 f150, seems like just yesterday that we left the dealership with it.

still outruns chebies, well the ones not broke down on the side of the road anyway.

1999 f 250 xlt Super duty 7.3
1279333 miles
2 transmission
7 alternators
too many batteries to count.
3 starters.
would take it any where with out hesitation.

2001 f 350 xlt super duty 7.3
87092 miles
2 alternators
1 starter.

Do you guys meet up at Luby's for free coffee and mechanically processed chicken that won't hurt your dentures?

I have 2 million miles on mine.

And where do you guys meet up?

It's called Big Daddy's Express Male Dancers..... NOT The Blue Oyster club!!!! Get it right!

I figure only the 4 o'clock Luby dinner eaters will recognize that movie.

2019 F250 just rolled 18k
My first beer can ever...so far so good

05 F250 Super Duty 6.0
Blown head gasket at 98,000 miles
Cracked heads at 165,000

Never again, sorry. Had several good F150's especially the 6 cyl. motor and have heard great stories about the 7.3 but the 6.0 did me in.

But can any of them pull a space shuttle?

As you guys may know I sold my 99 F150 about a year ago. Had it since I was 18, bought it new. Had to replace the AC compressor, a fuel pump and an alternator... sounds like a lot but over 20 years thats not bad! Paid 12k cash for it when it was new and sold it for $3500. NOT BAD!

Got a 2018 F150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost engine. So far I love it. Very comfortable, plenty of power, gets 20MPG. Its pretty dang sweet. We will see how she lasts in the next 20 years!

I think Chevy and Toyota make very good trucks, but I prefer the Fords. Just my choice. Rams are the only ones that REALLY suck.

that truck screams close to retirement and I love a good bowl of prunes

‘99 F-150 with a [censored] ton of miles on her.

your "wifey" is calling!

I got rid of my 2010 F-350 6.4...luckily I dumped it before it came apart.

I'm so Ford I chit blue. Long live the blue oval.

do Lincolns count?

2014 eco boost 4x4
50,000 miles
Not single problem with it

your wife's car? ^^^^^^^

Whoa, that is nice! I'm on my 4th F150 since 1996. 96, 2002, 2011 and 2017. I like em.

I'm standing around the job talking to one of your fellow ford owners who's 2019 F250 has been at the dealer for 6 weeks now for the death wobble. They still can't tell him when it will be fixed. I'd be mad as heck if I was making $1,200 payments on a truck I couldn't drive.

Got an 02 f250 about to hit 200,k

Well yeah you barely drive it. Traded my 15 in back in September with 115k on it. Be prepared to replace the throttle body around 100k. Known issue with the TB's in the Ecoboost motors.

those front windows look strange not tinted.

Tinted now and running boards.

sunset red?

fire bronze. looks different in complete sun.

I bought a brand new Ranger right before they quit making them. Less than 100k miles and I had to replace a transmission. Then one of the heads cracked. Found out it was a known issue for this motor. Great! Almost $30k on a new vehicle and Ford has no intentions of making it right. I never had any issues owning a Ford...until that truck. And it was enough for me to go Toyota!!!

mine looks like copper in the sun, love the paint color, think they only used it in 14 as I can't find it any more.

214,000 on my ecoboost now. Still truckin'. Noticed a little rattle a couple of days ago, couldn't figure out if it was the water pump or tensioner pulley. It was the water pump.

Several sets of brakes
New rotors front and back
New throttle body at around 180,000 miles (easy fix)
On fourth set of plugs
On second battery
New water pump at 214,000 miles (paid for that one to be done)

Was past due on changing plugs. In November when I pulled them a couple of them were burnt out to >.040. Put new ones in at .029, new air filter, cleaned the sensors and running like new again. It got 12.6 mpg pulling the boat from Covington to Rayburn back in December.

Here's my trip from Justin to Covington LA after Christmas. Not bad for having a little lift and some 33s on it.

And since I'm not currently a Ford owner but posting to this thread anyway...can we all at least agree that Dodge sucks?

Word

61,000 miles, no issues. Pretty much all I've driven since I started driving was Ford trucks and vans.

Other than the leak in the rear windshield that took 2 tries and 2 weeks to fix along with it suddenly dying when I come to a stop (which is a huge issue with the VST Solenoids on the 5.0 and Ford hasn't done a thing about it) it's been okay... I will not own another but don't want to own any of the others either. Might buy a new RAM with a cummins so I can start rollin coal again.

got a 2012 six cylinder non ecoboost stays hooked to the boat and is good any day of the week for getting ten and less MPG. I drove Chebbies all my life but I ain't paying more to drive one now, and there will never be another Dodge, 2 is a lifetime supply. I know the new new ones are better but it would be hard to be any worse, when you on the bottom there's only up, or out of business.

Be careful, I hear Dodge uses windows in the back and windshields in the front.

WOW!! This is way more geriatric looking than big Bob's. Makes Big Bob's look like a Friday night special!!!

Whatever, you know what the hell I meant.

2012 F-250 King Ranch: 200k miles
2018 F-150 King Ranch diesel 4x4: 5k miles
2019 F-350 Lariat: 20K miles

The Wife's 2011 F-150 only has 78k miles. Tuxedo Black - it sparkles in the sunshine.

thank you...… thank you so much for posting this

Wait, are you asking if I care? I don't have a problem admitting I'm an old. I'm proud of the fact that I've lived this long. Oh, and I'm the one paying for it.

Now the olds and gheys have place to discuss their common interest.

LULZ ^^^^^^^^^

Drove my trusty ‘99 GMC 262,000 miles and the A/C broke. Everything else was working just fine. I parked it for 7 years and bought my Superduty. Recently I did a light restoration on it and now it’s my primary truck for local runs.



The ‘11 Superduty has 125,000 on it. It’s rocking a full bypass and the turbo airflow system upgrade, plus I added a RanchHand brush guard, toolbox and Amp power running boards. It’s the best truck I’ve ever driven. It’s quick and it’s fast. My go to for the long hauls. It loves cruising at 100 turning just 2100 RPM.

Work f150 with 82k is making gurgling noises, damn glad I got a Toyota personal truck

I thought toyotas were the ones that gurgled?

You're very welcome. And as an interesting observation, it has more cylinders than Vince Young's Wonderlic score!

2019 Sierra right here. It’s the GOAT

Went from a '13 F250 platinum with that I put 90k trouble free miles to an '18 Raptor. 40k miles in 2 years and the novelty was wearing off and Mama said lets get a new truck. Who am I to argue. Now rocking a '20 F250 Lariat. This 3rd generation 6.7 with the 10 speed is a frigging beast.

2011 Prius, 334,000 miles. 46 mpg. When you drive as much as I do, you want good gas mileage and dependability. Toyota gives me that.

Love a raptor.

They are cute. To bad a Honda Ridgeline has a higher tow rating.

Not even close. Ridgeline is rated at 5000, Raptor 8000 and that's because of the tires and rear suspension. Mine sagged a few inches towing my '22 bay boat but handling and power was never an issue.

They must have bumped them up. It was a measly 6000 last year.

‘17 and up have always been 8000# tow rating.

Tuxedo Black with a shade of Louisiana dust. Looks the same in sunshine or cloudy.

2016 F150 Ecoboost Platinum = Shadow Black = 2.5 lift/level = Magnaflow exhaust = K&N filter = 22" Fuel Mavericks 33" Nitto Grappler G2

She has an MKs....I have a Navigator ....pimpin ain't easy widetrack

It depended on which body type, just like all the others out there. Some have more towing and payload, some don't. Crew cab, single cab, LWB, SWB, etc...

Currently in a 2018 F-150. I’ve been driving 150’s since 86 and the wife Explorers since then.

17 F350 KR 28K trouble free miles

2011 F250 engine blew @ 190k miles due to main bearing failure. Mechanic told me he sees about 4 a year and as little as 135k miles with the first gen 6.7’s. Put a 2014 motor in it and am back on the road.

Got it deleted as well while he had it and all I can say is I wish I had done that sooner.

2000 F-250 7.3L. I'm about to buy a new truck but as of now it is still my daily driver with 408,000 miles.

My brother has a platinum ecoboost. He said its pretty awesome until it bogs down while trying to pass people on the highway. As far as taking the kids to school and Kroger runs, it performs at a high level.

The work truck is a 2014 F250 with a service body. It runs good and stays loaded with about 2,000 lbs.

My personal truck is not a ford and its superior to all ford products but this is a ford topic so I wont bring up how awesome it is.

did ya'll decide on which Luby's for the meeting?

Don’t worry about it Frank. Go do some burpees.

+1

I went with matching Denali's. Figured if I was going to be in debt might as well go big or go home.

Have you done any welding on it????

Love old Ford tractors, grew up on em

So this is about beer can trucks,not REAL trucks?

I own a 2015 Ford Explorer with about 80,000 miles that the wife drives, It has an electric rack and pinion steering that gave out last week.

Waiting on parts now. About $2k to fix.

I'm not real proud of my ford right now.

Had a 2010 Ford F150. Blew transmission at 26/K. Service manager recommended not to tow with it (same time Ford advertising highest towing in "class"). Covered under warranty. In total burned up 7 coils. Three under warranty 4 not. Ac went out at 50/K (under extended warranty) and again at 80/K (not covered). At 100/K someone T-boned me at an intersection and put me out of my misery.

Bought a 2014 Toyota Tundra and have not looked back.

Smart man. You probably stopped frequenting what burgers at 5 am for 3 hours of coffee talking and quit craving prunes when. You got in that tundra.

Frank...have you been drinking?
