Hello All..........
My name is.....David Jones.
I bought a 2012 F-150 crew cab Lariat 2 weeks ago and have racked up 600 miles on it to this point. My truck has the 6.5' bed, which was needed for carrying trade show booth supplies. Over the past couple of decades I've owned a 2006 Tundra Double Cab, a 2005 Tundra Double Cab, a 2003 GMC extended cab, a 1999 GMC extended cab and a 1995 F-150 extended cab. Ford had enough incentives going on the 2012's that I simply couldn't pass up this F-150.
Now we'll see if it can work as well as my Tundra's did. I am completely impressed with the 5.0 engine and 6 speed auto powertrain. 3.55 limited slip rear.
For a hobby I have owned a 1969 Pontiac GTO for about 12 years and because of that I'm a loooong time member of the Performance Years Pontiac forum. http://forums.performanceyears.com/forums/
I recently converted the GTO from an automatic to a Tremec TKO600 5 speed manual and have a 455 engine in the works to replace the stock (though not really stock) 400.

Welcom David. The Ford will be sooooooooooooooooo much better that the Tundra.
BTW, nice looking Goat. I owned a '71 for many years, then caugh the Vette disease. To this day I haven't overcome that genetic defect.
