    TF 07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14!
    Raffa's IceFest 08, 09, 10,11,13!

    SAY IT!!!!!BUD LIGHTS AND RED LIGHTS!!!!!!

    Nice truck! You're gonna love the 5.3. Power, with great mileage. My 04 will get close to 20 on the highway with 2 3wheelers in the bed. 1/2 ton, standard cab, 8ft bed, 2wd....... You may be a bit diff with 4wd. They are extremely reliable trucks.

    I think you will be very happy with that truck....I have a '99 Z71 extented cab long box w/5.3....I LOVE this truck !! My only complaint is it's a bit long for finding a place to park in the city...I find myself bypassing spaces that my previous GMC(shortbox) would have fit into. I too am surprised with the fuel economy on the highway.

    Yes, buy that ford with a 5.4. It'll be sure to keep you sharp in math, as you count of how many plugs blow out of the heads......j/k, well almost....
