The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Thanks, and she will for sure be there, I used to have a 2005 F-150 extended cab with a 6.5 foot bed and she drove that, same length overall, so she knows how the truck feels... or at least she knew how it was .
The guy is my neighbor, so I think I could test drive it a few times if I wanted, and she could even do it without me. Another benefit is his truck is an automatic so when we have kids it will be easier to drive. but it is the 5.5 foot bed so I am not sure if I want that small of bed.

I'm no parent but having the crew cab will be nice with kids. You can stuff them back there when they get too antsy to keep at home. You can also get one of those bed extenders to bring it out to the same size as a 6.5 foot bed with the tailgate closed.

That is why we want the crew cab, the 150's is a little shorter so loading a kid into a carseat should be easier, and I hadn't thought about a bed extender on the short bed. I will definitely do that if we get this truck... but I am thinking that it won't happen. Too many questions about the truck and I am not sure if I will get enough to make it worth the trade. I will need to talk to the guy more about his truck and his reasons before I do anything else, also I don't want to have to change the spark plugs on one of those, I will eventually do it in the mustang but 2 vehicles with that problem? nah, ill pass

Use a little antiseize and torque them to 21 in lbs.

Talking about the spark plugs? Thanks, but I don't need to worry about them anymore. We sold the mustang and the truck and we got a new mustang that isn't falling apart with 140k on it... new one is a 2013 gt 5.0 , too bad that bill can't tune it though
