I'm not into trucks, but the interior looks quite nice & comfortable.

jet864, appreciate the words despite being a "chevy-lovin A hole" . Chevy makes great trucks, but I just don't care for the front end look of the newest ones.
I hear ya on that one. Although the Silverado SS does look tasty to me.

Yes, very quiet when cruising. More wind noise than the GS but that's not surprising! Suspension is definitely stiff, so you feel road imperfections though. But the chassis is so much stiffer than trucks I've been in before that there's no 'shake' when going over bumps.

When you put it like that, I guess I am sitting very low indeed!

Congratulations! I drove an F150 a long time ago (soon after immigrating to Canada in 1988) and the impression I still have of them that is so clear in my memory is that they seem to be very tough - meaning heavy and well built. Other than that I know zilch about trucks! I am sure you will have good times with it - as you said it can't be bad if it is the best selling truck!

We've still got her RX300 but we don't have a 3 car garage so we're not sure what to do. It's awkward having all three. But the answer is probably yes when we sell the RX.

Anyone want a '99 RX with 102,000 mostly highway miles?

Thanks Hameed. I think it's the best selling vehicle of any kind in the U.S.

I believe the F-150 is the best selling vehicle in the world About 20% of Ford's sales - so, VERY important for the redesign to succeed....no pressure.

It was funny. We had a car show yesterday and we are waiting for Bit. I was wondering why he kept asking for directions instead of plugging in the NAV in his GS .He pulls up in a brand spanking new F-150! Funny thing too, it got a nice crowd at the show, a lot of people were interested in it.

Great color scheme and the interior is GORGOUS. It was incredible, the best in a Ford OR Lincoln. Has anyone actually seen/sat in the Titan? The interior would make the homeless shriek with grief.

Tight work Bit, u need a cowboy hat now!
