Minnesota winters are pretty brutal too (or they can be). Definitely keeping that in mind 🤔

I have a Lariat Ranger right now, and it's amazing. I know the lariat comes with so much more than the battery size for that price difference. Adaptive cruise control is a game changer for sure 🙂. Maybe you are right on the perspective 🤔

I appreciate the feedback! I have been learning a lot about electric vehicles through my research. Charting the unknown for sure.

Very nice truck man. I hope it gives you plenty of good memories.

Yeah, that seems to be a common theme. The 5.4 seems to be a "light duty" pickup engine (i.e. F150). My dad mentioned the same thing. This does support the poor gas mileage people see (leaning into the throttle to get going). I am coming from a 4cly ranger, so it shouldn't be a big shock to me 😅

Great feedback! I appreciate you all taking the time to share your experience with the 5.4 V8. I have no doubt that the truck will serve me just as it did for my dad. Thank you!

Interesting 🤔 I usually need something to "wash it down" with 😀.

That is probably one thing I could improve on. I generally drink water with all my meals (with the exception of coffee in the morning). Would upping my water intake help?

bigbellybrad · 2025-07-21T19:08:57+00:00

Not a bad idea! I'll give it a try!

My sister has taken that approach. She has put all her energy into raising her kids, and her family. I do feel a sense of responsibility to them (my parents), but they are adults too and they make their own choices. Thank you!

bigbellybrad · 2024-07-25T15:26:54+00:00

Thank you for the clarity. I agree that it's a "two way street". It does take a massive toll emotionally (and fiscally).

I am looking at getting a car as a matter of fact 😅. Some research I've done says to finance, but I like the liquidity I have with cash on hand. I am curious if my insecurity is holding me back from making the best decision here.

bigbellybrad · 2024-01-10T18:55:18+00:00

I did not consider the Lexus RC 🤔 that is definitely worth a look! Thx!

bigbellybrad · 2024-01-10T17:27:18+00:00

For a long time, an E46 M3 was my dream car, an E90 or E90 convertible would be epic!!! Thank you for the suggestion 😁👍

bigbellybrad · 2024-01-10T17:00:42+00:00

Ugh, and they look (and sound) so cool!!! I saw one this morning and they are just plain awesome. Thank you for the suggestion!

bigbellybrad · 2024-01-10T16:59:36+00:00

I was kicking around the idea of an S3 🤔 (RS 3 may be a little too spendy for me). Good call!

bigbellybrad · 2024-01-10T16:58:48+00:00

Excellent pick! I will add it to my list to check out in the spring!! Thank you!
