New toy! 2006 F-150

My roommate's Acura CL, at 118k, was about to eat a transmission. Instead of being faced with thousands of dollars in repairs, he traded it in for a 2006 Ford F-150 XLT with 36,000 miles. Includes warranty.





I took it for a quick drive. Off the line, the 5.4L V8 jumped like an eager puppy dog. And for a raised half-ton 4x4, it handled securely without any drama.

It was dark when he brought it home, so the pictures are blurry and dim.













I'll be borrowing this routinely for warehouse runs, and I look forward to it.

BREAKING: Fiat wants 35% of Chrysler.

Cerberus wants to retain a large share. More to come.
