Default this is my fairwell!!

yep that's right i am no long a dodge owner. Gas mileage and seating room forced me to part with my truck. I damn sure didn't want to, but the need for less gas and room for my 6 month old were a must. I hate to break it to yall but i went with a 2003 f150 super crew king ranch with 65k. I have met some really cool people and learned allot of useful information in this forum and everyone in here has been very helpful. Thank You! I wish all of you luck in the future and i will still swing by and see whats going on from time to time. thank you and take care!

Good bye! Those King Ranches are really nice. Not really sure if you will get better gas mileage out of it, though.

how did you not have room for a baby? I cart 2 young kids around in mine all the time


too bad about the ford, the good thing is that you shouldn't have to go forum hopping for answers to your issues, because ford circled the problem


nah j/k man, good luck with it, to each his own right?

(quoting Tombstone) Well.........bye. j/k I have owned a couple of King Ranch trucks they are nice. I think what he is refering to in room in the F-150 is the full backdoors those supercrews are roomy.

Yeah I would also say it isn't fair to say the dodge got 9.9 mpg and the F-150 got 13 when you look at the mods you did the dodge. Kinda of an apple to oranges comparison couldn't you have just lowered the dodge and gone smaller wheels? Also it had better save a lot gas since I am assuming you had to pay taxes on the new truck, takes a while to get those back in MPG's & depreciation.

one good thing is my stock f150 will run circles around the dodge when it was stock. <---- see everyone agrees with me!

ahhh makes sense I guess.... Come to think of it, If I had my truck when my kids were that young (3 and 5 yo girls now) my wife would probably have the same situation. And mine is stock height too, so I can imagine how it would be with 5 in of lift

that's why she gets the blazer, I get the dodge
