Officially a 2021 F150 Platinum owner

[Jus Cruisin]

I've been going back and forth with F150 and Ram for years now. It is the F150's turn now. It's a major improvement over the 2016 F150 King Ranch I had before the Ram 1500 Limited 4X4. The Ram was a great truck. So far so good with the F150. The worst thing I came across was the power running boards. They don't drop very far which makes for a higher step up and hardly a step down exiting. I'll get a couple of pictures up this weekend. It got slopped up in this wonderful Michigan winter weather.

Congrats to you!! I agree about the power boards, i liked the height much better on my 2018 but I'm already use to it now. They are also a bit louder inside the cab. Everything else is better and I mean everything. Lol

Congrats. As long as these trucks hold together and are generally reliable, it’s a significant improvement over the older trucks.

I've gone through vehicles pretty much like water throughout my life. Some day I'll try to remember them all. It's close to 100 give or take. I told myself I was going to hang on to the Ram for an extra couple of years. Nope... It was a couple extra months. I made it through 31 months.
Trade values are decent now and I got the fever....
Maybe I will decide this is it. I still am reasonably healthy but at 70, one of these will be my last most likely sooner than later...

Lol, your are just like I am.

Don't think I've had a 100 new vehicles but at 2 new vehicles every 12 to 18 months all my adult life and I'm almost 65 now, it will be very close.

Been doing better at keeping mine for 2 to 3 years and trying to get to 4 years, that's my goal anyway. We still do my wife's about every year. There had been 6 or 8 we only kept for 6 months. Been blessed and don't want to leave too much to the kids.

100 different vehicles? Wow!

I am turning 40 in November and at 19 I got my parents hand me down Toyota Avalon. In 2010 I got a used MDX. Now I am waiting for a 2021 F-150. My parents and I keep our vehicles for a long time. Out of curiosity are you counting vehicles you bought for your spouse and kids? As that math is about a different vehicle every ~6-7 months, if you started at 16.

Congrats! I'm picking up my white Platinum Powerboost in about an hour. I canceled my original order and just kept searching within 100 miles and a local dealer got one in and I pounced; even has the max recline.

My wife and I are "dinks" (dual income no kids). So everything is mine before we married then ours since. For a few years, I was going through 6-8. Buying plain Jane pickups back in the 70's, detailing (polishing the paint and painting the undercarriage) , swap out rims and maybe add some tape stripes and put them back up for sale. I had 5 vehicles just a year and a half ago. Sold 3 when I moved north (2016 Corvette Z06 convertible, 1932 Ford 3 Window Coupe and 1967 Chevy ll tube chassis car) then I just sold a Jeep Wrangler last year and bought a 2011 GT500. I'm down to 2 vehicles now. The Mustang and now the new Platinum F150.
