Too expensive;)

I stopped by the Ford Dealership yesterday in San Antonio, Texas for a look at the new 2019 F-150..

Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive. I wanted to sense that new truck “feel” before I get too old. The salesperson (a nice looking lady wearing

a ‘RESIST’ lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat next to me, describing the truck and all its “wonderful” options.

The seats were of particular interest. She explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat. Feeling like messing with her, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.

Looking a bit angry, she asked why I thought it was a Republican truck. “I explained that if it were a Democrat truck, the seats would just blow smoke up your a** year-round!”

I had to walk back to the dealership but it was worth it.

(Yeah, I know its a joke.)

“I wanted to sense that new truck “feel” before I get too old. “

Instead of just sensing the feel of the new truck, may I suggest just buying it. We have a 2018 F150 and compared to let’s say 10 years ago, it’s a major improvement. They have unbelievable acceleration and pulling power as well as cornering ability. And the interior creature comforts are quite nice.

The downside is durability as this truck in noted for transmission and rear end troubles if used for towing or hauling. It’s a city guy’s truck.
