But those eco boosts have plenty of power and I wouldnt call an f150.a girls truck.
2.7 ecoboost gets 23 while making over 300 and towing 8500 pounds (80% of all truck owners tow this or less)

Silverados are a close second to the F-150 and as always have the ultra-reliable LS/LQ motors which you already know my affinity for~

However I know that lots of folks here want the power of the planet to get something for nothing, or are just generally skeptical of sharing personal info with this group. I can't imagine you're coming out ahead with your time here versus just selling on Facebook, or using whatever medium you use to create your own leads.
Pretty easy to know who's serious and if they aren't then just don't give them your info.


And he's here anyway...might as well maybe make it worth something.

I would say go for the f150 and call home team.

My brother in law just got one and the thing looks nice and the eco boost has a lot of pop. Then you can take the shell off as needed.

Call hometeam IMO

I dont believe I have ever actually sold a vehicle via CP, though I dont look at time spent on CP as time 'selling', i just am putting my 2 cents in on car posts a lot~

I have had several people who in good faith tried to by something from me but for one reason or another we didnt make a deal, but mostly its free advice, free carfaxes, and some looky-looing.

LOL but I dont care about all that, im just opinionated and forum addicted TBH and not really worried about ACTUALLY selling something, though its built into my psyche when it comes to talking about car purchasing~

Hey hometeam. Just out of curiousity why does tundra rate so much lower than f150

Oh Burt sold a car from here. **** man I thought it was you.


Someone needs to buy something from you.

He didnt start in the car business until recently, worked at a competitor that I previously worked at, and is now at a different Machens store.

Yeah. That's what I thought. Sales guys get used for information all the time. As if we're supposed to provide knowledge for free. No one else on Earth is expected to do that, and it's okay. We make incredible incomes doing what we do, it's just something I figured would be predictable being here as long as I have, and I'm not remotely shocked that I was more than right in my assessment. Psychological salesmanship. ;)

one of my better friends/neighbor is a Chevy dealer so I do ok. But I really think you actually care about getting people in the right car at the right price.

I beat your drum every time this comes up.

People are missing out imo.

Until recently they still used partially boxed frames, which hurt them all around they have lower tow capacity, less room, less power, and they are just not as rugged. They dont look (subjective) nor ride as good, and they dont work as well. They just dont do anything outstanding and full size trucks is the most competitive super segment in the industry.

They DO hold there value insanely well, even better than other trucks, because the truck buyers they appeal to are generally lighter duty, they dont do massive rebates like the other manufacturers.
