It's going to be used for general hauling, driving to Snoqualmie forest hunting, hauling wood, and hay for our cows- we have access to a flat bed trailer for the hay hauling. Don't expect to have passengers too many times, but want to have that option, also for storing/hauling our guns and bows and gear when hunting.Occasionally driving over the pass when visiting our kids in Ellensburg.

3.5L wants to squirt out from underneath you, mid-range is ridiculous. I opted for the Super Cab due to rarely hauling people. I also opted for the 8 foot bed and am very very happy I did, my jon boat and kayak don't hang out any farther than when I had my F350 with the 8' bed. I had to order because I wanted a Lariat and a Lariat with an 8' bed is almost unheard of.
Thing rides awesome, turns tight, remembers up to 10 different trailers and records mileage pulled for each! The cab is nice and quiet and the ventilated seats have changed my life forever :tup: :chuckle:

And the new fords come with heated tailgates which is a nice option.
Must have missed that on the order sheet :chuckle:

Oh yeah. Having a heated tailgate will keep your hands warm while you are pushing! :IBCOOL: :chuckle:
You don't need to worry about this option as long as you have friends with Toyotas :chuckle:

Ok, I must be missing something, what purpose does a heated tailgate have?It allows you to keep your hands warm when you have to push your Ford home. 😂

They use to have a beer holder spot in the tailgate, a heater would heat up your beer

Ended up buying a 2016 Ford -150 extended cab with 40k miles. It does not have the heated tail gate hope I don't ever have to push i!!
thanks everyone!
And now the story. Crowinghen and I pull into the dealership to look at the truck we saw on-line. The salesman ask if we want to take it for drive, well of course we do. We pull out of the lot and at the first stop light the truck dies, great, a lemon, wife asks "are we out of gas?", no, we're good there. I restart the truck and we're off, the next light the truck dies again. At this point I just want to get this POS back to the lot. I baby it back, putting it nuetral at every light so it won't die. As we make our way back we decide our 96 Cherokee was just fine and we did not need a truck. Pulling into the lot the salesman comes out all smiles and asks how did it go? I reply, "you better take this POS back to the service department because it dies at every light". After a second he says,"I forgot to tell you, it's suppose to do that". Crowinghen and I think he is just screwing with us, just trying to make a sale. I ask him WhyTH would I want a truck that shuts down whenever I stop. He explains the feature and what it's for, of course I'm skeptical, but he did say I could shut it off if I wanted to. I then ask him, " can't I just buy a normal truck without all these gadgets on it"? He inform me that this is a "normal truck" and compared to most it didn't have that many gadgets. We did go back out for a less stress full drive, this time he went with us to make sure us rednecks didn't have anymore issues.

He should have said it is the new Anti-theft feature :chuckle:

I'm a Toyota guy, but since you're already thinking Ford, I won't even try. Good luck!Toyota here too. 2003 Tacoma now at 441K miles with original engine and tranny. Starting to think myself what to do for a new truck when it’s time.

It’s about emissions output. Lots of CO exiting the cars when sitting at stops. Lots of criteria has to be met for it to happen and if one of the needs isn’t met, it won’t happen. Won’t happen with a cold engine, won’t happen if the ambient temp is below a certain point, won’t happen if you have the AC or defrost on, etc. The list goes on. I think ford has 31 different criteria that have to be met for them to shut off at stops. But like I said, you can just turn it off too.
