Well, the many years of fantasizing about my new daily driver purchase is finally over. I waited quite a few years before finally buying my new truck. Covid put me on pause since my priority was a house and I fought and clawed and sacrificed like a mofo to pull that off and save. Never plan to sell my '04 or the Mustang so I had to sit tight and keep saving my way into a house and chase the vehicle market. Tough but incredibly proud of all my sacrifice and hard work.
I've had my 2004 F-150 since I was 17 years old, and here we are over 16 years of ownership and 20 years separating my old girl and the new daily. I also have a 2007 Mustang GT 5 speed that I've had for 5 years now.
My new truck is super basic but if you've been around trucks for a long time, this is pretty loaded and representative of a mid trim over the past 30 years or so. Absolutely blown away at the features. I absolutely love the vinyl floor and any of the little options I'm missing, I have mods planned that address all of those so a lot of things weren't overly important to me.
Two-wheel drive was a must as was the 5.0 and the electronic locking rear differential. She will eventually tow a camper in the future so I wanted the ability for better traction if needed.
Picked her up today and looking forward to many years ahead.
