As many of you may recall I was debating for quite a while as to whether or not I should get rid of my wagon and buy a truck.

Welp, I did it ... and I couldn’t be more surprised at how pleased I am with my decision. Although I miss my wagon and I miss shifting my own gears, I am now the proud owner of a 2013 Ford F-150 EcoBoost Supercrew with the 6.5' bed option. I also was able to stumble into the extended range tank and offroad/towing packages in a certified vehicle.

Let me tell you. This thing is a bitch to park in the city and the turning radius is for crap. It gets a paltry 16 MPG combined but I am so pleased with the ride, comfort, acceleration, ability to haul large objects and pretty much everything else.

Sync is pretty much the bees knees as well. I have never had bluetooth or USB in any of the 23 cars I have owned in the past so that is friggin awesome.

I am glad I pulled the trigger. That’s all.

Best of luck with the Sync system. The system on my wife's 2013 Explorer has been more than a little glitchy. Make sure you update it as soon as you can. That helps solve some of the connectivity issues. If you have the door-mounted combination lock, be sure to test it out. Ours refused to recognize certain combinations, so we had to reset the whole shebang and start fresh before we could get it to work.

the steering wheel controls for the volume sometimes changes the track or channel. connectivity is fine. havent tried the door unlock code yet.
