F150 Forum

Ok, I'm glad someone else brought this up. I saw in the "Pel" thread that he was at the F150 forum and it got me thinking.
I saw that there was this F150 forum a few days ago and I got offended. Where is the F350 forum? Or even the F250, or Super Duty, or simply F-Series forum?
I think more of us here drive 350s and 250s than 150s. The 150 is more of a DIY type weekend warrior truck, no?




OK, so I am being facetious, but at the same time a bit serious. How come no SD/HD truck forum?

I'm a Ford guy, but I've never had a 150. I'm pretty sure that I could ruin a 150 in a month.

My first was a plain jane F150, 4-sp, 4.9l, reg cab long bed. I loved that truck.....except for the "plain jane" part.

Next an F250XLT. I LOVED that truck even more....especiall the loaded XLT part. That, and the 460.

Now I have an '03 F350XLT Super Duty. Again, I love it...except for the 5.4l. I wanna V10!!!!

I was thinking about ordering a 2007 lincoln MKZ and trading my jeep in for it. My father is a Ford retiree so i get the A plan price. As a matter of fact he use to inspect the F 150 floor pan. He was a QC inspector at the chicago heights stamping plant.

Well, all I can say is that we have to start somewhere and we do have a section in that forum for larger trucks.

Also, we own the domains F250forum.com, F350forum.com, and superdutyforum.com so we plan to grow if this works.

I've got a 150..........its not really a work truck......but it was cheap, has 4x4......and a 5.4L. Our work truck is a 06 F250 Superduty 6.0L.....Its a good truck.....but, I personally thing the ol' 7.3L's had more power.
