Bought a thing

I am now a truk person.

2015 F150 Lariat. 5.0 V8, heated/cooled front seats, leather, power folding mirrors, tow package, locking diffs, other such trim-specific accouterments.

Brought the wife and kid along to test drive. She was enthusiastic despite being the most expensive vehicle we’ve purchased.

Last night she said ‘I like this thing more every time I get in it’. So...win?

Oh, it doesn’t fit in my garage. Guess I need a track car now. What should I do about towing... :D

On the somewhat sad note, I did trade my 2012 civic SI sedan in. However, I have reasons for it and it works for me at this point. I still have the Supra, so I still have a fun car with the correct transmission.

Congrats! I had a F350 that used that same cab/interior. It was a very nice place to be.

I hope it’s good to you!

Thank you. I’m really, really happy with it so far. It’s day 3 of having it :)

If you’re towing then you really should have stepped up into a F-teenthousand with the diesel. The F150 just isn’t capable enough.

congrats! an F150 with the coyote is high on the wishlist for me.

lol, it’ll pull 9000. I’m not too worried about it lugging a stripped civic on a dolly or something similar. Plus worst case, my buddy has an F250 super duty with a goose neck receiver. It’ll tow like double what mine will.

I have accidentally roasted the rear tires once or 9 times.

Yea, the F150 is plenty for towing most things. Most people don’t get near towing 9k lbs unless it’s for some commercial purpose.

Exactly. While not ‘the best’ F series or even F150 for towing (Ecoboost 3.5 is rated higher), I’m still confident this will pull the Supra to Las Vegas from MPLS if I choose not to drive it out for SIV next year.

When will my membership card arrive?

Nice! Mine doesn't fit in my garage either. I think you'll enjoy the truck. I will say that driving mine regularly has made me pretty tired of being in such a tall vehicle. So much so that I've been having my wife take the truck while I drive her pilot. Ha

I should lift it and put it on 24s with really knobby but super low profile tires and do chrome everything attached to the frame for validation from others!

I can’t have all the guys at Home Depot thinking I have a small weiner driving my tiny F150 around now can I?

So, when are you doing headers, mid pipe, mufflers?

Those 5.0 sounds ridiculous with some exhaust work :p

Nice buy! Is it height or length that prevents it from fitting the garage?

Shoulda got a Chevy!! Jokes

Good looking truck and nice features! What does one of those run now, after 4-5 years.

AdamB > Derpwagon
12/23/2019 at 11:42

Ccongrats! That thing looks HUGE! I like this one better than the new f150s with the revised front fascia. Hope you can enjoy it for a very long time.

Derpwagon > MasterMario - Keeper of the V8s
12/23/2019 at 11:45

Exactly. You get me.

Derpwagon > AdamB
12/23/2019 at 11:46

It is the largest vehicle I have personally owned. Not the largest I have driven.

Derpwagon > ItalianJobR53 - now with added 'MERICA and unreliability

It sounds great stock and since it is a daily, it won’t be getting mods like that.

Derpwagon > The Ghost of Oppo
12/23/2019 at 11:46

Height for sure, maybe length.

Derpwagon > camarov6rs

Less than 30.

The Ghost of Oppo > Derpwagon
12/23/2019 at 11:51

Yeah that’s the problem my Dad has. He’s retiring this year and wants to buy a truck but I don’t even think the “mid-size” trucks will fit in their garage because of height. I told him he just needs to get something pre-1980s

That’s not a Thing. That’s an F150. This is a Thing:

Probably about the same time as your Oppo gold membership card.

Derpwagon > The Ghost of Oppo

ford performance makes a lowering kit that drops the front 1.5 inches and the rear 2.5. That should juuuuuust allow it to squeak in, maybe.

My work truck at the Flood Commission is a 2016 F-150 with the 5.0 . I don’t like the engine better than the 2.7 Ecoboost in my personal 2017 F-150, but it sure makes some glorious noises accelerating up on ramps.

It’ll tow a car on an open trailer just fine.

I didn’t want a boosted daily driver for reasons, but you’re definitely not wrong about the noises :)

Derpwagon > blacktruck18
12/23/2019 at 12:44

It technically justifies a track car for the open garage spot.

As you should! I was just poking fun at the peculiar font used for the F before -150, with the white paint it appears from a distance to say ‘3150'

They’re gonna think your peen is so small......has a greater injustice ever occurred?

RangerSmith > blacktruck18
12/23/2019 at 13:35

The problem isn’t so much that the truck is bigger, it’s that the garage to house ratio is off. Just playing! Nice ride, good choice with the 5.0 over the 3.5TT . Should be a good to you for a long time.

Do all aluminum F-150 club members throw their full, metal toolbox overhand into the unlined bed? Do you ever just dunk on it?

MKULTRA1982(ConCrustyBrick) > Derpwagon
12/23/2019 at 13:37

I kept doing this in the Toyota Sienna I was borrowing. I’m used to taking off briskly to not impede traffic....which translates to roasting the tires when you have a torque converter, FWD and 180hp more than usual.

ITA97, now with more Jag @ opposite-lock.com > MKULTRA1982(ConCrustyBrick)
12/23/2019 at 13:45

As one who doesn’t own a toolbox light enough to be thrown anywhere, I can’t say that I’ve tried :). As for liners and the like, I run a shell on mine because open truck beds are useless to me, and I really like bedrugs. They’re extremely durable, and they make a nice place for Doggos and truck camping.

I have never heard of that before and I had to read bedrugs again like 6 times before I realized it was a typo. I am envious of the dog space and freedom of a shelled pickup
