Default I said I'd never go

But I'm out. Wanna say thanks for all the great knowledge I learned about my truck from all of you, and vehicles in general. Tomorrow I'm trading my truck in on a 2012 ford focus SEL tech package. Again a big thank you to everyone,

Nick

My Kota's twin is leaving? No! And a Ford?! Haha jk, I just bought a Ford as well... But it ain't a 2012 Focus... Not to thread jack, but it's a 78 F250 SuperCab Camper Special. Still keeping my Kota though. Got this Ford for $900 dollars, which is a steal for a truck of this age, in it's fairly good running condition. Rust is not too bad either. 351 modified engine coupled to a C6 auto trans. Shifts smooth. Anyways, good luck with your Focus and we'll miss you man!

Edit: Deleted pic and started thread... didn't want to thread jack.

Hope you still pop in for a visit once and a while..


and damn that is a sexy truck.. some of the best years Ford Made IMO and yes I am partial to Ford over Dodge any day.. But honestly the older ones; they are all equally good depending on how you care for them.

Hey Nick,
Sorry to see you go man. I learned a lot from you and I appreciate your input through the trials and tribulations of my Dakota.
The new Focus is already mighty nice as it is, I can only imagine how killer the Tech package one is. Good luck with it!

Hope to see you drop by here, now-and-again in the future.

Take care.

Post up a pic, I'd like to see it. I like Ford, I just wanted a midsize truck that was a little bigger than a Ranger which led me to the Dakota. My father has never owned anything other than a Ford. 3 F-150's, an F-250, our Tractor is a Ford, and a Pinto lol.

Everyone is backing out of the Dakotas. Geez, What did I start? As much as I liked my Dakota it just doesn't compare to my Rubicon. Well I hope you like your little ford, You'll be back to a Mopar in a little bit after you realize how much of a pain Fords are!!

I can tell you my father's Ford has had a LOT less problems than my Dodge has...
