Re: Drove a newer truck and love my square 10x more
I've had four 60s-80s trucks over the years and enjoy driving and working on them. But as a daily driver, none of them comes even close to to the 2011 F150 Lariat Super Crew I drove for 4 years. 360 HP, 380 lb/ft TQ, and 20+ mpg on the highway, along with 10-way bucket seats, etc, etc. The only issues I had with it were the short 5-1/2 ft bed and large turning radius (145" wheelbase). But the upside was tons of space for people and/or stuff in the backseat. Oh yeah, after 4+ years and around 60K miles, I sold it for 67% of what I paid for it.
