Default Back in a F150!!

Almost 2 years I went from a 2011 f150 to 2018 f250 xlt 6.2 as a company truck. It was an awesome truck and served me well with over 100k miles in less than 2 years, but someone higher up in the company wanted it as a personal truck, so the f250 is gone and now I'm in a 2020 king ranch 3.5 6.5 bed. What an awesome truck to drive!! I'm in the office more than in field these days so the step down won't be a problem, and with the max tow ecoboost I can still tow most of what I did before if need be.

Tow mirrors and braking with a trailer are the only big things I miss about the f250. I thought I would miss the built in underseat storage but the Du Ha in the f150 seems to have a little more storage.

i just moved into f150 after having f350s the last 10 years. 6.0 and 6.7. I don't miss the climb into the truck, the noise, or the ride. What i do miss is the 8ft bed. 2 weeks in already ran into situations picking up lumber had to hook up my trailer. I didn't even get 6.5 either, had to settle for 5.5 or whatever is. Couldn't find a 6.5ft lariat or king ranch to save my life.

Gee, sounds like a rough company to work for when they take you out of a decent Super Duty and put you in a brand new F150 KR...

Man thats a big drop in bed size, I found a dozen or so lariets and KRs within a few hundred miles of NC. The 250 had the short bed, so im only losing a couple inches of bed space.

Awesome company!!


Side note, going on seven days in the truck and its looking like its going to be the 7th straight day of getting rained on at some point. And I already have the first battle scar coming back from TN to NC an object came flying across the truck from the drivers side and left a nice deep scratch in the hood!!

Wow props to Fed ex, I was disappointed yesterday when my floor mats didn't get delivered. To my surprise I was in the garage today on a Sunday and the fedex truck pulls up. The Java brown mats and du ha underseat storage look awesome
