[Rick M]

Lol, had to buy a bigger truck for the bigger travel trailer I bought last year, it's a vicious cycle!

Had my last F150 for 8 years. went from 231HP to 380HP!

Congrats I still have my 97 F150 Lariat. The 4.6 liter engine is under powered however reliability to the max over 300,000 KLM still original equipment( engine,tranny, difs etc)

No cash back bonus for a new lens?? Never mind bonus cash went into a full tank of gas!

Nice truck. Buying a used one would have left some $$ in the lens fund

Considered used 2012, but they cost more than new when you get $10,000 off from incentives.

Now you are going to have to get a part time job to keep the thing in GAS!

Yes, I had the 4.6, 8 years and not a single problem! I would have kept it another 5 years if I didn't need more power. The 4.6 stuggled with my 6,000 lb trailer uphill.

Lol, they filled it up for me tonight, $135.00 . Good thing we only put about 5,000 miles a year on the truck!

Nice Truck Rick.

Rick,
Nice truck. I've dumped a lot into my '10 F150. Unfortunately I spend as much time on f150forum.com as I do here... Playing with the truck can get costly... Surprisingly enough, Gas hasn't been that bad. It's no Prius but not that bad. Pulling my 33' camper kills all hopes of saving gas though.

I'm glad I got my camera buying out of the way, because we have a pair of vehicles with 12 & 14 years on them, and at least one is going to need replacing in the next few months (as soon as I get my $$ back from Uncle Sam).

I love how big cars are state side.
On my last two visits, I've gone all out and hired SUV type cars with massive V8 4L engines and sat in luxury with not a care for the cost of petrol (well ok, maybe a little care).

But that's because over here my pokey 1.9L 130bhp diesel costs an arm and a leg to run (£1.42/L at the moment ($~9.37/gallon))

I have a feeling I might be able to squeak out 1 new lens in a couple months . Have to decide between the 70-200 f4 or the new 18-35. Leaning towards the f4 because I really want my UW to be a new prime (18 or 20 1.8g when they come out).
