Welcome truck owners!

StangFlyer · 02-04-2001, 12:12 PM

We've just created a brand new forum specifically for Ford truck owners to discuss their vehicles. I am a Ford truck owner myself, so it got me thinking, "hey, we don't have a real place for just truck stuff!" I figure there probably are Ford trunk owners who visit this site, even if they don't have a Mustang of any type or they are most certain many readers of this site who own Mustangs, but also own a Ford truck like I do.

So, what shall we discuss first?

Ya know Dan this is a great idea..

Lately I've been thinking on buying either a 4x4 Ford Ranger OR a 4x4 Ford Explorer so I'm sure this section will be of some use for me

You have any thoughts on either the Ranger or the Explorer Dan?

Well, I have a friend who owns a 4x4 ranger and I work with a guy who just bought a new Explorer Sport. I think it would just depend on what you need. Do you need more interior room or do you need the bed of a truck for moving things and the like. Quite frankly, I acquired my Lightning because I needed a tow vehicle for a trailer to haul my Mustang on to the track. Really, I didn't want a truck per say. Hell, I always said I wasn't "a truck guy". So, I went with a Lightning because it was the only compromise between a truck and a Mustang! hahaha.

However, now that I've had the thing for a while I am thrilled with it. I'm very glad that I ended up getting the Lightning over what I was considering, which was an Expedition. Actually, what I really wanted was a new Mustang Cobra Convertible (still do). But, if I had gotten that I'd still be in the same boat of not having a tow vehicle for the beast.

Oh yeah, and I've beaten two "stockish" new Mustang GT's already with it in stop light races! hehehe

Finally a place where I can talk about my truck. Thanks alot Dan this is really cool. I bought my first truck in november a 97 f-150 5.4 xlt mark 3 conversion with dual flowmasters. It sounds awesome. I will tell u one thing I will never have anything but a ford f series as my daily driver again. That is how much I love my truck.

Awesome!
I have a F150 4x4 RC to tow my Mustang to shows.
The truck will also be my daughter's "daily driver" when she gets her license this summer.
Thanks for the additional forum Dan.

Dan, I think this is a great idea. I bought an old "beater" truck last year that started competing for my time. If you start a Ford Focus forum you'll cover every vehicle I own. Here's to the greatest selling truck!

This is GREAT Dan!!! I am a very big fan of Ford trucks.

Wonder why? Duff is looking forward to spending many hours over here!

Another winner for MW!!

Thanks for adding this forum. I currently only have a truck. It is a 97 F150 4x4 extended cab lariat. I love this truck probably the best vehicle I have ever owned. I am soon going to be buying another mustang however. I am not getting rid of the truck though. This is the best mustang site I have found and now it is even better with the addition of the trucks.
