Help Me Pick A Ford To Test Drive

So I got an offer from Ford to go test drive a car and get a $50 MasterCard Gift Card. Now the question is, what car should I drive?

Now I have done this offer in the past and have driven a Taurus SHO and Focus ST, both lovely cars. However, this one poses a bit of a challenge because there is only one Ford dealer in my area. Here is the list of cars I can choose from:

There really isn't much in terms of fun cars. My first want was a Raptor but since they don't make those for 2015, there aren't any. Second want was a Fiesta ST, but there aren't any around here. I have thought about going the stereotypical route and picking a V8 Mustang, second choice might be a Fusion.

What say you Opponauts, give me some suggestions.

F-350 King Ranch 4x4 DIESEL. It'll put hair on your chest.

Something interesting and fun to drive, like the Mustang!

Do that an report back to Oppo with your findings.

No Ford GT?

I always wondered what the catch is with those test drives and get a gift card. There's at least 5 or 6 in my area offering that.

2015 FORD SUPERDUTY F-350 KING RANCH® CREW CAB 4WD

Not sure if you've ever driven a big truck but it can be quite a bit of fun!

The choice is obvious. Walk in, tell them to pull that Ford GT out of the showroom or hand you 2 gift cards for leading you on.

No catch. They offer this every year at the Miami auto show. I've done it three years in a row. I've driven a F150 3.5 Ecoboost, Focus ST, Fiesta ST.

Usually if you show up and let them know about the offer right away, they will just fill out the form without you having to drive so you don't waste their time. I actually want to drive so I lead them on until after the drive.

Indian motorcycles was giving out $100 gift cards just to get people in the door. Easily the best FWD: I've ever gotten from my dad!

That being said, if they don't let you jump a Raptor, they didn't let you test it in the test drive.

If by fun you mean "feels like I'm driving my house," then yeah... fun...

Yeah, I get the words, but I don't understand why it's being applied to a Mustang.

A leftover gt500 if they have any

A house with all the torque. Rev it up and you can do burn outs.

My vote: Super Duties. Specifically, either the two door XL with the 6.2 OR the 2 door XLT with the 6.7 PSD. Why those? This winter, at my dealer our plow truck was a 2 door with a 6.2 and it was a blast to drive. All kinds of power and pull. Being a two door, it never felt huge (honestly none of them do once you drive them as often as I do) and it had an 8 ft bed so we used the crap out of it. Plus it sounded like a Raptor when you drove it hard (I might have always done so)

And I pick the two-door PSD for about the same reasons, lots of haul-ass with less truck.

If you don't go for the SD trucks, I'd honestly suggest anything else for multiple reasons. I like our vehicles a lot. and I've driven everything in some form.

They're pretty fun cars to have around!

As PatBateman pointed out! Burnouts! and you could tow your house haha

I actually thought about doing the 4 banger Mustang. Just to verify that it is in fact not a Mustang II

Usually the only catch is that you sell your email's should to the advertising department. Sometimes it comes with a side of the dealer not wanting to have fun and not let you test drive. They will still fill out the certificate for you, but they won't let you touch anything.

I wish they had a FiST or Raptor but they don't and I don't think it is worth driving at least 1.5 hours to try one because I am in no position to buy at this time.
