If you're ever on the fence about getting rid of your truck, look for a thread I started called, "why you should keep your 10th gen" I did buy a newer truck 2012 fx4 and I'm glad I kept my 10th gen as well. Lots of pros and cons.

Ya well, some of us can get quite attached to them. Mine has a lot of sentimental value. Met my wife in it, bought my first house while I had it, brought my daughter home from the hospital in it when she was born. And countless good memories.

I love my truck.

I think the body style is just cool. Looking at the front with a lift and wide tires, It looks like a beast.

Most have hit the key notes already. It looks good, drives good and is a solid truck. It takes care of me if I take care of it. I traded my 03 in on an SUV years ago and immediately regretted it. I got rid of that, bought my wife another SUV and went hunting for another 10th. I found my 99 and will never get rid of it, regardless of any other vehicle I may purchase.

I tell you what guys. Cruising home tonight with the temperatures in the 40's, the rain coming down; with myself being dry, warm, and totally comfortable in my F150 felt great.
