adios and good luck with the EGO-booster!

 

Who are you?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Another idiot who spends $30k+ on a truck with the excuse of saving gas.

Just say you were sick of the T and wanted something new. Don't say you got a sh!tty F150 because it gets 2-3mpg better than the T.

 

I think someone is butt hurt that they can't afford an ECO Boost.

Why settle for less? If you can have a truck that is every bit of what the Titan is, but better, why not go for it?

I burn roughly 1300 gallons of fuel per year in my Titan @ 15 MPG. 1300 x 3.70 = $4810.00.

If I drove an ECO Boost averaging 18 MPG I would consume about 1100 gallons per year. 1100 x 3.70 = $4070.00.

$740.00 a year is a big deal unless your rich enough to wipe your a** with $100.00 bills.

An ECO Boost would save me $7400.00 over the course of 10 years, that makes up for the slightly higher sticker price doesn't it?

To each their own, no need to be a d*ck because the OP is in a position in his life to upgrade. If you choose to keep your Titan, that's great. Don't call someone an idiot because it makes sense for them to buy a new truck.

 

That was a little uncalled for ^^^

Somebody cranky this morning? The guy got a new truck, he didn't bang your mother.

Its funny how much this forum cries when someone gets a new truck, get over it theres bigger and better out there now. Its not 2004 anymore.

 

Let us know what the real world mileage is once you get it, would be nice to hear first hand feedback on the Eco boost.

Shi-it I agree with VQ--Tired of these threads, if you just wanted a new truck, right on, but milage is a BS excuse, if thats the case get a Hy-undia (spelling?).

 

Storm,

What are we in, 4th grade? I don't care if it hurt his or your feelings. I call it like I see it, if you don't like it, go cry to someone else.

 

Those interiors on the F-150's are nice for sure. My buddy averages 18ish in his but he drives it like he stole it.

Yeah, I have to agree sadly, MPG is not an excuse, unless you're a woman. NOBODY should buy a full-sized pickup with gas mileage in mind. I get 11mpg with mine, screw it... gotta pay to play. I could not deal with a 6-cylinder Ford pickup personally, their V8 pickups are bad enough.

Honestly though, Ecoboosts aren't that great on gas so I am curious what somebody would get with real world driving. My friend gets 19-20 in his, but he babies it constantly.

What if you work out of the truck?

Im on the road all day going from site to site, hauling loads and towing a trailer. Not everyone gets a truck to be able to haul 2 shopping carts of groceries from the store instead of just 1.

and how is 19-20 not that great?

 

Judging by the panties-in-a-wad syndrome going on in here, apparently GK!

Seriously guys, it's a truck.

 

For VQI'mpissy

 

What if he wanted a new truck too? I bet you don't wear the same pair of underwear your entire life, why not change it up? Bottom line is it's his money, his decision. Why everyone gets so offended is beyond me. :rofl:

 

Oh I'm not offended, I have no brand loyalty nor loyalty to the Titan, I just find it funny.

 

As do I. Who really cares so much, to bash a guy for buying a niceeeee truck? it may sound like an angry swarm of bee's, but who cares? Must have a pretty frustrating home life to take it out on a stranger like that.... :lol:

Not quite. Lol

BTW, what kind of headlights do you have? I love them.

 

oke:Storm, your "O" looks stupid. I will follow beaver anytime over a duck. (see what I did there!):rofl:

It's Friday people!! Enjoy it!! If you have to work tomorrow, I am sorry.

 

Hey screw you! :lol: (chad)

The home life comment wasn't at you Carter. lol. They are 2009 Lights modded by SD_Titan

 

Hahaha wasnt sure.

I was afraid you'd have some custom modded lights, I was curious because you have the darker grille like me and they look really good, been shopping for some for awhile and cannot make up my mind. :crying:

 

Wait Wait Wait ... I understand that 2015 is going to be a great year for the Titan, 30MPG with the same power ratings . Who says you cant have powerful truck that gets good millage?

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/pdfs/deer_2012/thursday/presentations/deer12_ruth.pdf

 

It's over 100 horsepower less, so no it doesn't have the same power ratings.

 

It's Friday? Where have I been!

To each their own but I work for a company who religiously buys ford F150's as our mode of transportation for work. I have personally seen over the past 10 years enough bad apples to convince me that I no longer want a Ford. They used to have the deisel market pretty well but since the death of the 7.3L even their share of that market has been a rough road. Wish nothing but the best for the ones leaving the T behind, just giving my .02

Yeah, I traded in a 2012 5.0 Mustang GT, it spent 30+ days in the shop, had the tranny repaired 3 times, and the waterpump, head, headgasket, cams, valves and rockers all replaced at 11k miles. No...n-n-n-no more F-F-Fords.

I do wish the OP the best, just hope the trade was worth the 3-4mpg. :S

 

Yeah, they're modded... Not off the shelf lol. My grill is about to get changed up in the next week or so. It'll be SICK

 

opcorn:opcorn:opcorn:

 

But to OP after a few tanks of gas le us know how the gas is and a power comparison. Secretly we're all wanting to know.

I can see both sides. I don't begrudge someone wanting something different but the rationale never makes sense, at least based on what people post. Why don't people just say that they got tired of the T and wanted something different, or something new that was different? $740 a year is insignificant when you're talking about paying another $10k for a vehicle and you're paying interest on the extra money. And that's if you kept the vehicle long enough to make your money back, which most people will not. There's almost no financial rationale for changing vehicles, especially going from a big truck to a big truck (going from a Titan to a Prius might make financial sense). And Fords have their own problems - I know, because I buy our fleet vehicles and that's what we buy. I like the F150, it is a damn nice truck, but feature to feature it's $5k + more expensive than the Titan, and that's leaving aside the diesels or the special edition vehicles. We had to have one of the diesel injector system setups repaired recently, with a bunch of injectors replaced, and labor plus parts was over $4k.

Nevertheless, I think people get sensitive about this because you don't expect to see people saying "see ya, I'm getting a better truck". Most of us think we already have the best truck for the money. If you're leaving because you bought a new truck, why not just say "hey guys, thanks for the advice, I recently traded in the truck, see you around"? Why do people feel the need to tell the other forum members how inferior their truck is compared to the new truck the poster just bought?

Anyway, for the OP: good luck with the new truck

 

WOW ,,, to the OP what a mess you stirred with your going away post congrats on your new truck and stop by once in a while with some pros and cons.

Betty got sick over how many people were babies over a guy getting a new truck that has a **** ton of power and is good on gas

I dont know what pricing is by the rest of you guys, but when I was pricing a new truck I could get a comparable f150 to the titan I was looking at for $10k less. As much as I love my titan, I dont love it that much.
