OK guys, my kid is selling his superduty and thinking of going with a 2006 F150. He got burned pretty bad with a 01 f250 and the whole tranny thing. Anybody know where I can go to make sure there isn't something similar with a 2006 f150 5.4?

My favorite is f150online.com . Lots of people there with good info. I haven't heard of any problems with new F-150s. If he wants a brand new truck, I'd wait for the new redesigned 2009 F-150, it's one awesome rig.

If I was looking at an F-150, I'd go for a Lincoln LT. Best 150 on the market and cost about the same as a dolled up 150 but better. My wifer has had her 2007 LT for over a year and it is a great truck. If I wasn't a Super Duty freak, I'd get me one too.

Last time we looked at the LT's, it was about $10K more for less options than my dads current 04 F-150 FX4. They are NOT the same price at all... you're paying for the badges on it. What's so much better about the LT?
