New Truck?

[H20fwler]

So I went to look at a few trucks, drove a tundra. Went in just to see what kind of a deal I could get, The sales guy started out below dealer cost and kept slashing the cost from there.
Had the wife me as my voice of reason, I said thanks to the salesman and told the wife let’s go to lunch and think about it…she is like just buy it? Salesman’s manager stops by the office and says take another $3K off the price.
I’ve got a new truck in the driveway now. Just need to dress it up some to really make it right. Way too many buttons and gadgets in it.

Nice. Is it a 25 and they're trying to make room?

I like f150 and usually trade well before 100k. Past couple have the turbo which I really like, but probably not trusting enough to keep them long term. My dad keeps getting 3/4 ton chevys. His last one is the roughest riding truck Ive been in. Single cab, 8'bed.

Not going to lie, my F150 sold me with the massaging seats. I do several 7 hour each direction trips a year, and it works knots out while you drive. I have literally went out and sat in my truck and just let in kneed my back while parked in my driveway.

A Lazy Boy might be cheaper? lol

But a lazy boy wouldnt fit in the cab of my truck for when I am driving

Driving is so over-rated. ;)

It’s a 2025, I think they were.

I already ordered a cap for it and a push bar to keep the deer out of the grill, and seat covers so dogs won’t get it too dirty on hunting trips.
Way, way too many buttons and options on it that I really didn’t need.
I’m definitely not used to a nice truck and it is crazy fast. I hit the gas and it about snaps my head back, acceleration is nuts.
I need to just get it all figured out, will be watching some YouTube vids on it for sure.

And I’m going to have to put real tires on it, it’s got what look like huge car tires on it.

I have bought a lot of Cooper AT3’s over the years. Good bite and quiet screaming down the interstate. Probably don’t need that high of load range though on that size truck.

I’m definitely going with some type of oversize AT's or RT’s that will be more aggressive off road than these cars tires and make the truck look better.
I think it has 33”s on it going to bump up to 35’s.

That should look good!

I've been running Falken Wildpeak AT3s. How do the Coopers wear? How many miles you getting out of them? I'm pretty happy with the Falken's, but I feel like they should last longer. I also think they get a little loud toward the end of their lifespan.

Feel like this thread needs some truck pics.

I was getting 60,000 out of them easy on an f-250 diesel. Rotated every oil change, at the time I was driving all over the country for my kids sports.

I have the BF Goodrich K03’s that come stock on the Raptors with 66k on them. They started getting loud awhile ago. I really need to buy tires this fall yet and will probably go with the AT3’s.

 

[keets]

Falken are the best tires I've ever owned, you give up a little lifespan, but they grip the road and dirt really well

I will call this the “before” pic, because I’m changing some things.



Interested in seeing some members trucks also, what have you guys done out of need or just to make your truck special?
