Yes very nice government financed truck.

George, I really struggled with my decision to buy a Chevy because of the politics. Like I said I agree with Fords politics but I have had such good experience with Chevy and BAD results from every Ford I have owned. I even considered a Tundra but in the end I stuck with what has worked for me. Thanks!

For me the experience is exactly the opposite:

Never have I experienced any issues with Ford's vehicles not accountable to normal wear. My last F150 I traded in at 150K miles, and no work done other than normal maintenance.
Cannot say the same for Chevy or Dodge.

Still it's a very nice truck. My son-in-law purchased a GMC, when his brand new Charger began having transmission issues.
Also a very nice truck !

Thanks RGM yeah it is a dark metaflake grey. I went to get a Ruby Red (maroon) but the salesman had this one backed in for me and it matches my wife's car. I really like the color too!

Not the Cali special, but it did come out of the San Jose factory.
The sound of it is so fierce... So violent. Dual glasspacks on it. Not too loud because the engine isn't insanely big, but enough to rumble.
New exhaust, new shocks and shock mounts, new Edelbrock four-barrel carb, new valve covers, K & N air intake, new paint, spotless interior, new 17" American Racing rims wrapped in BF Goodrich tires...

And don't you worry about that Sienna van! My other car is a beater as well.. 03 Pontiac Vibe, haha. The ULTIMATE grocery getter.
