This vehicle was purchased to be a third truck in our Ford "lineup." We were putting too many miles on our two newer trucks and decided to go for an older, trusted model. It was in great working condition but was not at all pretty when we bought it. It was three colors, and there wasn't a headliner or carpet. But it ran like a top and got the same mileage as our other trucks. It was just what we needed with just a regular cab just big enough for the two of us.

I love my truck. It's a 2012 Ford F150. It has a bright red color that really grabs your attention. It sits kind of high to give the affect of a lift kit, but it is a stock version. It's V8 engine has plenty of get up and go. The automatic transmission shifts very smooth to the point that I hardly notice as it shifts through each gear. It is a four door version that provides plenty of room for various functions. When I have my daughter and her friends have an activity it provides a comfortable setting to transport them from point A to B, but when I have a work related activity then I am absolutely satisfied with the space it gives me for cargo related to the project. The bed of the truck is obviously a great addition and the reason I bought the truck. I am easily able to load and transport almost any and everything that I have to get around. Again, I love this truck.

We bought our pickup because we had a house and needed something to haul stuff. We traded a Subaru Tribeca for it and it has been great. With having two kids in car seats the Tribeca left us no room for anyone else and not a lot of room for luggage. The pickup we got is the full bed and extended cab. We have room now not only for our two kids and car seats with the extended cab but also for two other people or our dog. Having the space has been amazing. The vehicle is also very comfortable to ride in. A great thing about the pickup is you can move the pedals towards you so it helps me not have to be so close to the steering wheel. A downside to the vehicle is the gas mileage. We did get the eco friendly pickup so that helps but with it being such a large truck, the gas mileage is not great but it is expected. Overall the vehicle is a great vehicle to travel with and have around. We have not been disappointed with it at all and have not had any mechanical issues either.
