Default my first ford

It was time for a new truck as my 05 ram 1500 quad cab was worn out. I loved dodge trucks but after I called 4 dodge dealers and not a single returning phone call from any of them I decided to call the marshal mize ford in chattanooga and got the an excellent salesman who promptly returned my call with what he had in stock, an hour later I was at the dealer and an hour later I was on my way home with my new truck, a 2014 f150 XLT screw 4x4 ingot silver. My wife wants a new Durango but dodge is now officially boycotted from my driveway

Cool, good luck with it and have fun. Which engine did you get? Also, check out the Explorer. It has better reviews than the Durango.

The new explorers are pretty slick.
I was between getting my current truck and a tux black expo sport fully loaded but the truck was 150 cheaper a month and I planned on running a landscape business soon so I got the truck.
I tried so hard to get my old lady into an expo or at least an edge but she fell in love with a 2012 gmc terrain and I could no talk her outta it (I almost cried cause I hate chevy lol)

Check out the Edge too. My wife LOVES hers. Its a little smaller than the Exploder/Durango but it is a good little truck. Serves the purpose we need it to as we only have one child.

Agreed but the optima only had 4k miles on it was a 2011 lol plus she got a really good deal on it but then once I got my truck she traded that a month later for the terrain. I told her she ain't getting another new car till I get a diesel lol
