When yo have to get stuff done

Nice truck, just sold my 2500 Denali.

Recent purchase. GMC Denali View attachment 689418

I like that a lot @Viking752!
When I was truck shopping a couple years back I decided to go with the Ram 1500 over GM and Ford, but that was back when it still came with a 5.7 Hemi. Now that GMC/Chevy are the only ones still offering a V8 pickup they would be choice hands down.

Thanks, I had a GMC 2500 diesel I just sold and got that 1500. Been a GM guy most of my life.

Wait - so the 5.0L V8 Coyote engine no longer is offered on the F150?

Even though it is, I'm a firm supported of the 3.5L bi-turbo EcoBoost V6 - fantastic, effortless power whenever you need it, smooth, and flexible with the 10speed auto. I drove multiple examples of both before selecting the 3.5, and even the 2.7 Ecoboost gives the 5.0 a real run for it's money. Being in the salt-belt, I really appreciate the aluminum body on these models, but you still need to keep things clean (Frame, suspension, etc).

I just had to confess after a year of a 5.3 V8 in a GMC I was underwhelmed. But I come from a long line of Dodge/Cummins & GM/Duramax truck, all pre 2007 so no emission regulations.

I stand corrected @AeroFan_07!
But when I was looking at what dealers had available on their lots back in 2023 I swear that all of the Fords I saw had an EcoBoost V6. I’m sure you’re right that it’s a great motor but I will stick to V8’s as long as I am able to. It was good enough for Mad Max after all!
No striker fired pistols and no turbo 6s for me.

To go with my old Bonneville, I've bought another bike. Only a little thing, but a bit of fun that avoids any real overlap with my Triumph.

Finally had a moment to snap a couple photos of the 2018 F150. Here it's shown doing truck things, which is the primary reason it's in my garage.

OK time for an "Aussie" truck. Mazda BT50 ( made in Thailand) on the same production line as the Isuzu D-Max and is mechanically identical. 3 litre turbo diesel 4 cylinder. 6 speed automatic transmission.
Reputed to be the toughest most reliable engine in any current Australian market "ute" ( pickup truck to our American brethren). Even more so than the current Toyota Hilux offerings
Officially it's the Missus' new car 7 months ago, in preparation for our big round Australia circular trip.
I have changed the oil and filter in it myself 3 times already in 12,000 K's.
This vehicle is a 12 year plus plan for us so I am all out on the preventative maintenance.

Feels appropriate to wear a flight jacket while driving my Lucid:
