Yeah I know what you mean but they ride a lot better than the Fords and for some reason I hate the seats in the f-series. Too damn hard IMO.

The new Fords with IFS ride a LOT better. But yea the GM trucks as a rule ride better. I like the seats in mine but I'm used to a F-body so I may just be used to being tortured. LOL!

LOL. I will say this about Ford trucks though; they can't be beat for a reliable *** work truck by any other truck manufacturer out there. They just last and last and last.

When I was 14 I got a restricted license to go to school and work. My dad gave me his truck to drive until I could afford to buy my own car. It was a 1967 Ford F100. I loaded it with twice what my neighbor could put in his new Chevy truck. We were loading brick. I was sold on Fords then and it hasn't changed. I won't buy anything else.

Nice truck! You said that they gave you an offer you couldn't refuse. But I am sure that if you sold the T/A outright to a member on this forum or anywhere else that you would have gotten WAY more money for it. I got offered $13,500 for a trade on my 03 10th Anniv. Cobra witk 56k miles...and STOCK. I told them to go F*CK themselves. I then sold it 2 days later for $19,500. This was 2 years ago this happened...So I doubt the deal was that good. Nice truck though!!!

We can hook them together facing opposite directions and see who gets drug. LOL!

They gave me more than it was worth to me. I hate selling cars to someone I know either personally or online.
