Anybody else on the fence between a tacoma and a F-150

My guess would be it would take almost 0 knowledge of the market to sell the trucks, Ford probably sells close to a million F Series Trucks a year, seems like any sales person at the dealer is not going to have much trouble selling.

 

Maybe it’s different in TX. This is what We see in NC and this is the cheapest place in Charlotte to get new Fords.

And the “conditional” price you see will be ONLY if your credit score is 710 or higher. If you’re under 710, you’re not getting “Conditionl” price.

 

I had the other end with a Ford, in 2009 I purchased a Roush Jack Black Edition Mustang Stage 3 for 67,000 out the door.. In two years with 13K miles i sold it and got a little more than Blue Book value for it, because of the rarity of it.. I got 28,000 for it.. with 13k miles on it.. I swore off new fords at that point..

 

Pretty sure the statistics are they sell a new Ford F150 in North America every 15min..
They sell a new GMC/Chevy Pickup every 45min..

I don't think toyota touches that.. Either of them..

 

That’s because you bought a 30k dollar mustang with a 30k dollar package on it lol

 

@Tacoaric see post #339

 

Hey i was 25, and wanted 479Whp and a supercharger with a factory warranty, RWD and heated seats.. But yeah i know.. not my smartest idea.. to be fair i had a XB at the same time i actually drove more.. honestly that kind of HP on a traffic filled city street was terrifying.. i'd rather my slow XB.. it was more fun..

 

Yeah I just traded off my 800hp F250. Honestly the scariest thing I’ve ever driven. Put huge gaps on a Shelby GT500. But otherwise useless, and then exploded. Lol. I’ve been there before.

 

I just rode in a new ZL1 camaro with 650hp. That thing is completely daily driveable with its magnetic suspension. Probably will be my next fun car.

 

Doesn’t mean you won’t poop your pants a little when you floor it in traffic. Haha.

 

Easy solution. Don't floor it in traffic lol. Last car had 410hp/425tq and ran 12s. Daily driven. Went through so many sets of rear tires in that thing...

 

At the time i was living off of water street in manhattan.. It was a combination of pooping because it would light up tires, and run the narrow lanes of organized chaos at rapid speeds, and the fact that no one uses turn signals, they cut across lanes, and they practise parallel parking by braille.. Always made me nervous..

I sold the car after i decided to try to see how fast i could go without getting stopped on the Jones beach expressway on Long Island.. at 3AM i hit 167Mph.. and immediately put the car up for sale the next day.. I prefer the slow cars that are fun to drive, because the ragged edge is just barely over the speed limit..

 

Yeah my GTI ran 12s, and I roasted all 4 of the tires in less than 2 months. Stock tires were shit

 

I enjoy that too, but I don't want a car that can barely pass a minivan on the freeway. Don't need something that runs 10's, but something that's faster than a v6 honda accord in the 1/4 mile (they run low 14s now!).

 

Wouldn't mind another toyota Corolla with a 2zz swap.. or possibly another XB with the 1nzfe Built, there are guys in Peru that have the yaris or Vitz i believe it's called there, that they are getting 350hp out of that 1.5ltr with a small turbo and some internals from the prius..

 

OMG!! That's a huge discount at negotiation...Toyota here in CT basically told me to GFY when I tried to push beyond 2k under MSRP.

 

As long as you don’t have to pull anything you’re good.

 

Most vehicles are slower than a V6 Accord, it's the ultimate sleeper car.

 

I think Honda gave the V6 Accord the Ax!

 

They did, but they replaced it with a slightly detuned civic type r engine which is still pretty nice. If you're not a badge snob & dont need awd, I would get it over an audi a4... or an F150 (I think this makes this post on topic now )
