Traded in my Boat Hauling Van

I work at Bob Swope Ford, and the dealership worked with me well as I bought my new F150. I traded in my van. the E150 that pulled my pontoon for years, and now my Raider. Seriously, if anybody needs a great boat hauler for low $$$, and wants to be able to talk to the prior owner (me) the van offers a lot of luxury, lots of room to get your rods inside and safe, and still provides 6900 pounds of pulling power.

Got to tell ya it really feels weird seeing your old truck on a webpage.

If you want info as to it's service history, call me at 270-735-7814

I am the prior owner, and yes, I do work for the dealership that has it listed.

Did you get one of those new shiny F-150 ecoboost motors?

I may start looking at those in the next year or so.

Later,

Naw, I went with the 5.0. I sacrificed some HP (360 vs 385 in the Eco), and some torque (380 ft lbs vs 420 with the ECO), and I gave up some EPA rated mileage, 19 for the 5.0 vs 23 for the Ecoboost. I did it mainly for the incentives that gave more rebate for the particular equipment I put on the truck. Ended up with $6250 in rebates by trading in the van that qualified for a $1250 trade assist rebate. Then the XLT package and XLT Convenience package netted another total $1500 rebate. Plus another $1500 Ford customer cash, and $1000 rebate for a $1000 down payment, and another rebate of $1000 for financing thru Ford. And finally $500 rebate for opting for the 5.0 motor. Add that all to buying the truck at $2700 under MSRP, and I figure I came out okay. Dealership made some money I'm sure, but I'm not worried about how much they make when Ford steps up to the pump and hands me over $6k back.

Went with the bucket seats in the front to get the deep center console and 4 cup holders. Crew cab has 4 doors and a ton of space, the perfectly flat floor is going to be my sleeping spot when a buddy goes on the trip and sleeps in a front bucket seat reclined. 5.5 foot bed, and then the tail gate step that gets me up in the bed with out busting my old butt.
