Time to say goodbye.

Time to say goodbye.
Time has come, I've had enough of the bouncing suspension, lack of aftermarket that I'm interested in, the gas mileage, the lack of power from the 3.7 The local dealer isn't the greatest either.
I bought this 2011 F-150 FX4 Off-road completely loaded, on a spur-of-the-moment 8hr 510 mile trip when I found just what I wanted the first time, but couldn't afford then. Wife and kid love it as well, so they are happy.

I don't want to debate this or that, just wanted to thank those that did indeed help me in the exactly 4 years (this pic was 4 years to the day I got my TRX4) that I've had the Dakota, sold it for above book price for private party to a neighbor who knew how well I took care of it.
It's just time to move on, and in the few days I've had it, it has gotten better mileage and has the power of a v8 with the twin turbo ecoboost engine. Sometime like 365hp and 420ft/lb stated. Drives like a v8. Maybe I'll be back some day, but thanks to everyone who answered a post or commented on something.
Have a good one.

I dunno if I'd buy the eco-boost in the first year it's offered (I had a F150 4x4 with the 5.4 in it's first year and it dropped a piston), but if the thing works as advertised it's an engine that will make GM, Dodge and probably Toyota scramble to play catch up.
Truck looks nice, good luck with it...

Dude, Sorry to hear about your bad luck with your Dak. If I was gonna be getin any other truck brand, It would be a Ford either F150, F250 (and only if i can drop a CTD in it). And (secretly) Id love to put one of them Eco-Boost v6'ers(if not a CTD) in my Dak. Ford is sure givin every auto company a run for their money, but i still love my Dodge. They have a lot to offer, and they have a S*** ton of potential (look at the CTD), if Dodge would ever pull their heads out of their A**es.
If ya cant tell I love the Cummins Turbo Diesel.
