We traveled 90 miles to purchase our truck when we decided to move from the city to the country. After much research we selected an extended cab Ford F-150. We spent a bit extra to get a certified pre-owned which has paid off repeatedly. When we purchased the vehicle it had less than 30K miles, we put another 30K on in the first year driving cross country. The handling has always been reliable. And when we settled in the country it had the power we needed - pulling trees, hauling hay all a cinch with the great bed and four wheel drive.

I have the Ford F-150 v8, single cab. It is a good truck with decent power. When you hit the gas, you can definitely tell it has a v8. The single cab is a little bit tight on space, but the long bed makes up for that. It has power windows and locks, has lasted me thru 196k miles with regular maintenance. This pick up is versatile enough to get me thru cities and rural areas, big enough to pull my horse trailer, and I can still parallel park it when I go to the city.
