can i afford it?

[pitbull12888]

From what I seen, Rangers and F-150 are very close in price for same year model and mileage. With this being said you get alot more truck with the F-150 than a Ranger.
If your going for a all out monster, get the F-250, but if you dont really need the extra power and such, get the F-150.

ya thats what im thinkin. If i end up stayin at home ill get the 250 and if i move out it will be the 150.

what's the point of having that big of a truck? i mean is your job going require you to haul shit around? IMO just look at a decent 4x4 truck and do your own mods to it like lifts and tires etc. etc.

Well I will be pulling our 36' camper to the lake every so often, dads little f150 is startin to struggle with it a little. It would be nice because of that. We even used out FORD 9000N toter to pull it one time LOL

Wait until the new 6.8(I think) Twin Turbo..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It will be a 6.4TT and of course the first year it will have some issues.

Oh and you should be able to find a nice F150 for less than 10K.

my advice dont buy one already jacked up by a factory height 4x4...throw a 6inch suspension($1200?) and 3inch body lift($180) and then tires it will be much cheaper.....and it will be a good experience putting the lift on

I been wantin to get a jacked up powerstroke for 4 or 5 years now. I love the way they look and sound. Ill be in the market for some kind of newer jacked up truck in a couple months. Im wondering if i could afford a 99-2000 powerstroke f250 and ive also been lookin at 99-2000 chevy 2500's. I start working in a few weeks again and i start at bringin home $1550/month. Then after 90 days ill be bringin home $1700/month both after taxes. I did a insurance quote on both and insurance would cost me about 400/month. payments would cost me about $300 a month. So BOTH payments would be about 700 a month. Ill be movin out after i get w/e truck and stayin with a buddy splittin housing costs. Do yall think i would have enough money to pay for a truck like this or should i go with something smaller like a 97 f150 jacked up, it was alot cheaper payment and insurance wise.
Thanks in advance,

Michael

They are sticking it in your butt.

I pay $900 a year on my TL Edition B-Series That's at 16 when that rate started. With most things covered (UM, PIP, Theft, etc..). Check into programs you can do to get the price down and do 6 month payments instead of monthly payments.

and State Farm FTW.

What is your deductable?

State Farm Dropped my *** lol!

I paid $136 a month for liability on my camero @ 16 (state farm)

$175 for a $1000 deductable on my '94 chevy @ 18 (state farm)

Now I pay $289 for a $1000 deductable on my current chevy...(progressive)

This coming march I will have a big insurance break and then again in May when I turn 25...oh I cant wait.

Hey guys, please drive carefully, safely, and within the speed limit...You wont regret it once you actually start paying for things.

basicly man, only you know your monthly income and only you can determine if you can afford something or not.
