I have been looking for a replacement truck all summer. I have also been thinking about selling the Sol for the last year or so as I just don't drive it. Yesterday I was going to go look at a truck and at the last moment I decided to take the Sol. I knew with all the mods I had in it I would never see that back. Looked at what it was worth in KBB. I decided where in that range I wanted to be and went to look at the truck. Liked the truck, they liked the Sol. Offered me a little more than and gave me a deal on the truck.

Sol is gone and the truck is in my driveway. 2011 Ford F150 XTL Extended cab, 6.5' bed, 4x4, 5 liter motor.

Nice looking truck for 10 years old

Looks to be in good shape. I'll bet the Sol got better gas milage, then again with that super charger maybe not. That truck has to be easier for you to get in and out of.

That's looks very similar to the one we used to have.
The 5.0 engine was awesome.

Congrats

When I get the step rails on it for sure. Right now I have to play like an Elff and crawl up into it.

Good luck with the new wheels Critter! Those older 5.0 F-150's are bulletproof, one of my employees owns one and has put it through the wringer and it just keeps going.

Not Joe but maybe my next-door neighbor. He manages a garage for PG county and has tons of F150's and the tools for for managing them. He just bought a new to him 16. And we are working together to get them where we want them.

John, losing old Bix is the end of an era. Enjoy the new ride though and don't be a stranger!

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #13 on:** September 25, 2021, 03:02:13 AM »

He seems pretty strange to me. Not as strange as GJ though.

elff · « **Reply #14 on:** September 25, 2021, 08:45:29 AM »

His typing skills have always been strange

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #15 on:** September 25, 2021, 04:50:50 PM »

I'm not sure that counts as a skill by definition.

Good luck with the truck, I am sure that you are going to love it.
GJ do you think I could get enough out of my 08' to pay for a super charger for my 18' GMC truck? I can't get in the Sol right now with my back issues.

Dammit! Now who's going to help GJ at the DDM tent at NASSM?

GJ needs help? Oh wait I've been saying that for years.

Well let's see what the pain meds do and the next round of PT does. Who knows I may even try the clutch in the GXP next weekend.

It's all that damn exercise, pedaling your @$$ around the country

elff · « **Reply #23 on:** September 29, 2021, 01:03:59 PM »

It's hard to throw out your back while sitting on the couch.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #24 on:** September 29, 2021, 01:10:09 PM »

I wonder how many people are injured by the coffee table on their way to/from the couch?
