Here's something I didn't think of when I bought this truck
For decades I drove ford explorers. I owned a IT company and provided explorers for my techs to drive. I liked them because we could haul a bunch of gear in them, they were relative inexpensive to operate etc. so now that I retired I wanted to go back to a "pickup".
I haven't owned a PU. Since the early 80's. I'm now aProud owner of a '11 f150 plat eb screw 4x4 5.5. Here's my problem, this thing is just too big. Around town we are restricted to parking places that are to tight to park in. I'm not worried about my parking. I can put it in the very center of the space. It's the people that can't. I've only have. 600 miles on it and have had to crawl in from the passenger odor , over the console because some dude didn't leave me enough room to open the driver side door.
We went to our favorite fine dinning restraint recently that only has valet parking. They said they didn't have a place to park it.
Oh well thanks for letting me vent.
