Post got a new vehicle
My F150 was trouble free for the first 100k, the last 10 k have been painful to the wallet and the signs were there it was going to get worse. Needed something that was also more family friendly. The Ridgeline fits my needs well and got a really really good price.

Seriously, that should fit your needs well. Is it the AWD model?
Cheers, Lee S.

Not calling you shy on vehicles. Four out of five listed you have had trouble with...

http://www.speed-freekz.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=5355


...including the F150. That's all I'm saying. Call it girly, but I would bet this thing lasts him well.

Now I own and F150 and have to worry about the same problems you have had... and what Major has seen.

I got the RT model, which is the basic (but still has a ton of standard features), and my color choices were black and black. So I chose black. Yep, its AWD, they all are. You get no performance choices with the 3 different models, same engine, transmission, suspension, ect. The more expensive models have more creature comforts, gadgets, and gizmos (navigation for example).

and yes, I have already washed it because it got dirty.

I need a crew cab in a mid-size, the Canyon/Colorado from GM are very poor in just about every category compared to every other truck in their class. The ford with the V8 is good but it just didn't do anything for me.

regards to the canyon and colorado.. their both junk...there was the avilanche from chevy... although i dont like them its somwhat comparable to what you did get i think, a cross over pickup/suv, but probly cost more, but i know they come in half ton models and 2500 3/4 ton models. unless you refer to midsize as v6 and v8 but without the half ton or 3/4 ton capacity.. but those canyon and colorados are shit.. people i talk to have had nothing but issues with them.. replace heads at 20thousand miles.. engine issues up the ass.. compression problems.. timing issues.. etc etc.. the I-5 is just a hunk of junk metal.. they look ok but their functionality is that of a seized motor lol.
as far as the f-150 goes its a nice lookin truck but ive not driven one yet.,
