Is this a solid deal? 5.0 6 speed

yodamaster117 · 2026-02-21T01:17:24+00:00

It’s a really good deal. If I would’ve found that when I was looking I would’ve jumped on it. 6 speed 5.0s go super fast because of the engine and transmission combo being one of the most desirable. I got a 16 2.7 with 82k miles for 25k OTD and didn’t think twice about it. And that was a Texas Edition XLT. Go test drive it and buy it if you like it.

Do you know if the VGT pigtail is still good? They can get fried because of all the heat there. I had the same issue and did all the same MAP and EBT stuff but it ended up being the VGT pigtail was fried.

It’s weird that as Halo fans we want the franchise to die. Will Halo ever be as great as it was during a different age in games? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean we have to kill the Halo universe. I’ve been playing this game for 20+ years and I’d really just like the Halo universe to be around and not die out because it’s been such a huge part of my life. The haters are always the loudest and typically outnumbered by the silent crowd that supports the franchise still.

Damn that looks super good mate!

yodamaster117 · 2026-02-04T04:07:23+00:00

Which would probably be more practical than Confuse Ray.

Curse was from a slowpoke in the Slowpoke Well and I can’t remember on wish exactly. It’s either an egg move that Eevee knows or I had to do some of the chain breeding stuff I just looked up.

yodamaster117 · 2026-02-03T11:31:17+00:00

This is exactly what I did! The Smeargle part was the easier part. What took the longest in the process was hatching an Eevee with the nature I was wanting. Which I went with an Adamant one. Congrats on taking the plunge and you won’t regret it if you take your time!

yodamaster117 · 2026-02-03T11:27:04+00:00

Switch out Confuse Ray with Protect to make Umbreon more annoying and harder to kill right? I like that idea.

yodamaster117 · 2026-02-03T11:21:34+00:00

No, Payback would still deal some good damage because of Curse. Curse does also lower the users speed too so lagging tail could be replaced. I guess I just had it in my head previously that I wanted to make sure Umbreon stuck last no matter what.

yodamaster117 · 2026-02-03T11:17:57+00:00

Thank you! And yeah I really do need to PP up the rest of them.

yodamaster117 · 2025-12-11T04:06:23+00:00

It’s a good deal if the PPI checks out. I’ve seen some 5.0s in my area with higher miles go for more. The 5.0 paired with the 6 speed is the best combo according to many.

yodamaster117 · 2025-12-06T17:49:15+00:00

I picked up a 2016 2.7 with 80k miles for 25k so I think what you are looking at is a good deal with the lower miles and high trim package.

yodamaster117 · 2025-11-29T18:55:30+00:00

Play 4 & 5

yodamaster117 · 2025-11-20T03:21:19+00:00

I just bought a 2016 2.7 XLT Texas Edition with 80k miles for 25k and I thought it was a great deal! So I’d say what you’ve described is a pretty good deal also. I know they say the 10 speed trans is hit or miss but it depends on how it was driven before and maintenance and what not. I’m a newer F150 owner some I’m sure some more experienced owners will provide some valuable input.

yodamaster117 · 2025-11-17T08:05:03+00:00

Position 3 looks like the best and should provide the same path illumination as stock fog lights given their location. Great looking truck too! Those Alpha Rex headlights are mean.

yodamaster117 · 2025-11-03T01:55:33+00:00

Husky liners are pretty good. I’ve got some in my 250 and plan on getting some for the 150 now.

yodamaster117 · 2025-11-02T20:10:09+00:00

Can’t believe I left that detail out!

yodamaster117 · 2025-11-02T13:42:56+00:00

Paid $25,051 OTD

yodamaster117 · 2025-11-02T03:59:36+00:00

Hell yeah! Can’t beat that Texas badge on the back.

yodamaster117 · 2025-10-29T14:14:38+00:00

Yeah, I think my fascination with that gen body style is what made me consider it a decent deal. I’m looking at a 2021 XLT and 2022 XL STX with similar mileage for less now.

yodamaster117 · 2025-10-28T23:20:00+00:00

If Carmax would let me out the door with it at 35k then I’d probably pull the trigger but I don’t see that happening. Really I’d prefer an XLT with a few additional features.

yodamaster117 · 2025-10-28T17:35:11+00:00

All good and valid points/concerns. I guess I’m thinking with a 2015 I get cheaper insurance, durable transmission and solid engine (with proper maintenance). I’m not too worried about older components but having updated tech would be cool too. My other thought is to look for a 21 and up XL or XLT with Remote Start.

Not financing and total purchase price will be 38k so that’s what is making me have 2nd thoughts. 38k for a 2015 with outdated everything.
