LSchicago Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 After 6 years with my truck, I decided to trade it in for a new Mustang GT. I paid $24K new for the F150, dealer gave me $17,500 in trade. New car was $42K sticker, got it for $37K. Not bad. It has the 301A, A10, 3.55, Active Exhaust, and Black Appearance package. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That might the the only blue short bed regular cab F150 with a camper top in the entire country! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Nice! Love the blue Stang! Though, I couldn't get rid of my truck for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) That might the the only blue short bed regular cab F150 with a camper top in the entire country! False. My cousin has one. His first one was a white 97 (V6 manual) then sold that in favor of a Red 2012. He recently traded that for a blue 2017. All regular cab short bed.

fuzzymoomoo Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 With a camper top? All of his trucks have had them. He spends a lot of time up north, especially during hunting season, so its a lot of extra dry storage. It becomes his de-facto garage up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Great looking Mustang LS. Hopefully you will have many trouble free miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I think you will enjoy the Mustang. I look for reasons to drive mine even if I have nowhere that I really need to go! However, if you ever need to haul something or pull something, it might not be quite as practical as the F150. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSchicago Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 That might the the only blue short bed regular cab F150 with a camper top in the entire country! You might be surprised. I seen 3 Gen 2 Lightnings with caps! I don't think I could've put one on my Lightning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only waiting about 10 year for that Gen 3. I finally gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to get a Caravan or something as a winter beater/hauling vehicle so the Mustang can sit out winters. Funny how the need to go somewhere is much more common now. LOL.

All you need is a RC or Supercab 5.0L and add a supercharger. 700 bolt on hp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a factory Lightning better than one self or dealer built. A Whipple stage 2 on the New Mustang is 800HP, but that doesn't make it a GT500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
