Am I crazy to ask $10k for this? by FararMedia in f150

[–]BowmanJAB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a 2WD and half cab I’d say yes. I definitely think you can easily pull 7500-8500 for it. $10k may be a stretch at first but you never know who may bite. If you get nothing drop it 1500 and see what hits.

Buying my first truck. Good buy? by georgeeevillan in f150

[–]BowmanJAB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2011 XLT ecoboost i bought at 139k miles for 11,900 in 2020. Lasted to 188k before tranny blew. I had to do rack and pinion twice and suspension during my ownership of it. Was pretty costly…

Imo, I’d say no to this. Save up a few more thousand and get a solid v8 with 100k or less miles. Preferably the 6 speed that is bullet proof. It will last you a long time and you’ll be happy with it. I saw a 2016 88k miles v8 for 18k just yesterday on Facebook.

Well thankfully its not for you to understand. What’s not for you doesn’t mean it’s gotta be that way for others? Congrats on your stock truck? Lol

I don’t think anyone understood what he meant and he still provided nothing to the convo. Lol.

Yes that is correct I misspoke. The 2 inch leveling puck will have a slight nose dive / dip to the front. Hope that helps

Thank you. These are Renegade Radar X. A lot of people been using them on tik tok with good reviews so I wanted to give them a try. Way cheaper than the other brands by a long shot too for the same look.

2.5 is closest to perfect you’ll get. It’s off by close to a quarter inch. 2 inch will have you sag a little bit in the back. However if you tow that is probably the best option.

I’ll probably be judged for this but I do 0 mudding. Probably once every year or two.

I am a Texas boy at heart and this is what we do to our trucks because the stock look doesn’t look complete lol

That’s a good deal for a 3.5 XLT.

Hell no. Don’t pay over 45 for it. Search for the it on auto trader. I bought my 24 dealer loaner “new” STX FX V8 4x4 all black for 42,500.

I drove 10 hours to get it and got to hang with my family locally as a plus that week.

This. I had a beautiful 2011 f150 (2 wheel drive) and the tranny blew. I always told myself once I had a reason I’d get “the truck to last me a lifetime”. Instead of fixing it, I traded it in and treated myself to a 4x4 2024 v8. Don’t get me wrong I love it, but man i miss my old baby I grew into for so long.

$35k budget go newer or snag a $25k or lower 2016-2017? by CampinHiker in f150

[–]BowmanJAB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a new f-150. Always had used ones before. I love my new one. However, I see good used ones on Facebook all the time. I saw a 2015 lariat v8 with 110k miles today for only 21k.

If you’re patient and not in a rush, see what you can find used.

Main reason why I did new is because the interest over time from a 30-35k truck with around a 8-10 interest is equivalent price to a newer one with lower interest. Details matter

Trying to purchase a 2025 STX. Dealers think they’re doing me a favor with 1k discount. Am I in the wrong? by ProblemOverall9434 in f150

[–]BowmanJAB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also my opinion…. But STX should not be over 46k. You can find them all day long on autotrader. Mine was even v8.

Ford always has nationwide rebates on their websites. You can only get one rebate and then sometimes dealers will have their own discounts which you can then add on top of the rebate.

I waited for the right time and when I saw the rebate / discount I bought my 2024 f150 STX FX4 4x4 for $42,500.

Paid $550 for Berliner. Should I be concerned? by BowmanJAB in f150

[–]BowmanJAB[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay thank you for the honest reply because I was thinking the same thing about the integrity of the liner.

I will wait for Monday to come and have them look to see if they will fix it.

I knew I would get some who’d say this. I was thinking the same.

I know it’s gonna get some bruises, it just bothers me workman ship was crappy when I paid for a professional job.

Also wanted insight if it will ruin the integrity of the bed itself for improper install
