    It has been a pain. The dealer called back and told me the amount for everything which is the correct amount. They then asked us there any amount that you deem appropriate to comp you so we don't have to do this process? I told her yes it's been the same answer since the Thursday just cover the registration and do it for me so I don't have to go to the DMV that's all I asked for...

    We should all just go write a bad review on them and watch their biz flounder. See what the motorcycle community brings in for damaged reputation.

    I doubt it would do much tbh... They have a lot of negative reviews and somehow still get business.

    Nah not yet. I was trying to buy some 6112s for the truck but the person put the listing wrong so might order a front set to replace what I have now.

    I'd like to order a coastal bumper but my buddy who can weld stuff hasn't responded to me...so ATM nothing
    Not yet no
    Yuuup

    still have a lot of work left to do but its a start at least....
    upload_2025-7-28_7-28-9.jpg
    still need to sheetrock the ceiling in, hang those black cabinets off to the left over there, hang the shelves, hang the deco, get a chemical cabinet to replace that wooden bench to the far right, and run electrical so i dont have to keep using extension cords, oh ya and paint that last wall....

    doing all this because i got bored and wanted to work on something since the basement is on hold atm... then all out door projects are also on hold because its way to damn hot!

    Nice truck! I'm considering switching to a blue F-150 Supercab for my growing family. Plus, the idea of pulling a boat and not losing 1/2 my fuel mileage sounds nice.

    I saw two F-150s pulling boats Sunday one was Supercab I guess the other was a Supercrew they just look right pulling those boats the Supercab looks better in front of the boat those trucks look like they are designed to pull boats.

    its a nice truck i like mine a lot. i will say make sure you read up on them! not all are good...

    the gen 1 3.5eco was one of the worst ones they did... the gen 2 had the cam phasers but it was fixed and according to others no longer have issues. dont know much after that
    the 2.7 is great for casual towing tbh, it can still tow a good bit but not as much as the other two. the gen 1 is the most reliable out of the bunch but the gen 2 is also a reliable engine.
    5.0 well its a 5.0 lol some good some not so good but idk much about them lol.

    the big thing is the trans... i have the 6r80 in my truck because i had the 10r80 in my 2022 ranger and the trans went boom at 20k miles... now according to ford they have fixed this issue on all vehicles with the 10spd. but almost anything in the 21-22 year range had issues with the trans.

    supercab is awesome! i love being able to flip the doors fully open! but if you are needing it for a family id say get the supercrew and get the 6.5ft bed with it. but will state a supercab is about the same size as a double cab taco with more room lol.

    supercab=access cab
    supercrew=crew cab

    The SuperCab has a great profile, especially the 4x4, which is slightly taller. My kids are 10 and 14, and think they're rapidly outgrowing the Taco backseat (I grew up riding in the back of a '76 Camaro and a '90 Ranger extended cab, so a Taco backseat is comparatively spacious). I'm leaning towards the 5.0 as the advertised mileage is better than my 2nd Gen Taco. I came to the Taco from a reg cab F150. While spacious, the 4-door F150 is too large for my current and future needs. Once the kids are gone (and it's paid off), I won't need all that space anymore. I'm eyeballing 2024 models at the moment.

    We test-drove a Supercab a few months ago, and they did not like the rear swinging doors and smaller windows, but appreciated the rear vents and plugs. I told them that they'll be driving soon enough and can meet Mom and me if they don't want to ride together.

    it does have a great profile tbh thats the main reason i went with mine.

    stx is the way to go! xl with a lot of options! looks like a good looking truck thou! i like the dark blue!

    the 5.0 is great and at times i wish i got the 5.0 for the extra towing and the ease of adding a winch to the truck without having to relocate the damn intercooler! but the 2.7 i was pretty happy with!


    obviously let us know if you buy it and show us a good photo!
