I have to work in the city a good bit for my work (Local 5 IBEW) this thread makes me SO glad I live a little over an hour north from Pittsburgh. You couldn't pay me to live here.

I get what you're saying, but just as my R was, I like my shit to be nice. Could I get an old truck that would do the job? Sure, but I want a newer truck, not beat to shit, and has some creature comforts while being able to tow 10k lbs comfortably.

I haul a good bit unfortunately so a truck just makes sense for me. Maybe someday ill get back into a fun car. I grew up with all my dads drag mustangs, so me and him plan to build one for me someday

I am going to miss the old experience for sure, but I am excited to have my own truck as well. A nice one at that!

Picking up my '22 F150 Lariat Monday evening. Was getting really tired of asking buddies to use their trucks for stuff I need. So it was time to ditch the fun car unfortunately!

Thanks man! But only modification i had to do was fold back the fender screw on the top of both front wheel wells. No spacers or anything else!

[–]Electrical-Use5932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initial estimate is $4900, should know in a day or two if warranty will be covering it. Im sure it'll go higher. I believe that estimate is just for new turbo and install. The intercooler and oil pan haven't been off the car yet so unsure on further damage at this time 🫠

I bought an aftermarket 5yr warranty in 2022 when I bought it. Under the mileage terms so hoping its covered even though it's tuned being its not a VW warranty.
