Title: My husband is getting his new truck in a couple of weeks
Post by: BEG on November 24, 2010, 04:15:37 PM
My step dad does dealer trades for a Ford dealership in Dallas.  He is retired and does it because he loves it. Anyway, he gets a discount and we have bought several trucks through him.  We love being able to skip the back and forth of dealing with a dealership. They always go out of their way for us. We should always buy Fords, in fact I'm thinking when I get ready to get rid of my car that I might get a Ford.

My husband made a deal with them and my parents are going to drive it here for Christmas and take my husbands car back for the trade.  They already have the truck marked sold. He decided to get the 2010 vs the 2011 because he got a better deal. He is very excited but doesn't want to show it.

Here is what it looks like:

That's a nice lookin' truck.

I'd like to get a little mid-90s Ranger with an extended cab and no dang Michigan rust, but for right now the minivan is fine.

That truck is amazing. If you're stepdad gives discounts to non-family members, I would definitely love to get a truck like that in the near future.

Some pictures my mom sent me of my husband's new truck. My stepdad picked it up today from a different dealer. She said the interior is a lot darker than it appears in the pictures and a few pictures are smaller than others. Also it is dirty.

Nice truck.  I looked pretty hard at the Raptor to replace my Silverado SS but ended up getting muscle car fever and buying a a Pontiac G8 GXP; it's a nice car but I really miss having a truck.

My husband went from having two trucks in a row to an Infiniti G35, now he is going back to a truck.

Yeah it's a beast!  I did the Corsa cat-back exhaust, Roto-Fab CAI, and a custom Livernois tune, it is so much fun to drive. :-)
