Ford F150 [Merged]

[OTEP]

mbt,

Pantasya lang naman. Feeling plumber sa America. Yung may mga tubo po sa bed. hehehe.

Hindi overflowing ang garage dito. Maliit lang talaga.

[boybi]

ayos a, umaapaw na garahe? :mrgreen:

[newbee]

sbi ng dad ko mga ford parts daw mahirap mahanap or matagal hihintayin? is this true? sorry kung medyo stupid ung question, tlaga wla kasi ako masyado alam sa ganyan e

[Hero]

ang parts ng ford except cguro for the lynx and escape medyo matagal ang paghintay at mahal..pero dahil kung under warranty pa naman ok lang and ford vehicles have many small quirks in them the f150 has some..actually may natira pa kaming ford e...e150 it has weird quirks too...rear aircon vents not working..battery discharging...pero dahil ok naman service at libre due to the warranty parang di masyadong nakakainis...

sana makabili ka na kaagad ng sasakyan..wish ko lang...ehehehe

[newbee]

ano ung mga quirks ng f150 nyo dati?

[OTEP]

Yung mga plastics na ginagamit ng Ford, parang hiniram nila sa Kia. Hehehe. Parang gawa ng Orocan yung ibang trim pieces, eh.

Yung E150 tinitignan namin sa casa biglang nalaglag ang interior side panel sa right rear quarter panel. Tawa kami ng kabarkada ko. Naka-double sided tape pala. Ayos, ha.

[newbee]

LOL

[Hero]

it had shift shock from 1st to 2nd..pero it was fixed naman..di lang kaagad...battery went dead basta na lang...replaced the battery with local one ok na..yung sa e150 naman pabalik balik siguro dapat din palitan ang battery nun...i forgot na the little things that went nuts e...when i sold it ok pa naman condition nya no rattles never overheated..never really needed major service except for the piyesa i had to wait for sa tranny...mga 2 mos.. talaga...yun lang it was due for brake service dahil pumipito na kapag nagbrake ka ng mabagal ang takbo...ang mahal nun 17k ata ang sinisingil sa kin...e bebenta ko na e kaya di ko na pinagawa... and oh the cd changer cartridge madiling mabali yung handle na pang hold ng individual disc...at walang mabiling replacement cartridge..

[RedHorse]

Otep,

kung di ako nagkakamali, ito yong para sa storage ng jack, madaling baklasin, pero hirap ibalik. Sa amin, hindi double sided tape, naka velcro sya. :D

[newbee]

question sa mga knowledgable about ford: pwede ba kumuha ng diff parts from diff ford vehicles sa dealers kahit with extra payment? example, if i get a f150 lariat, pwede ko ba kunin ung mags ng expe and yung sound system ng sport trac? (i read it in different websites that the sport trac's sound system is really good and most people who own a sport trac dont upgrade it anymore) coz this way tipid ako, my parents will pay for the stuff at the dealers.. pag aftermarket mags and sounds system, it will have to come outta my own pockets

[Hero]

you can do that but thats gonna cost them crazy money... wawa naman parents mo....

besides why downgrade to 16" mags of the old expedition..eh 17" na an g lariat..if you can get a one...supercrew na lang ata ang available...for the stereo...ok naman ang sa lariat and it comes with the changer...what you want cguro is speaker upgrades lang or just add a sub....

[newbee]

hero, like how much ang added money? and what do u mean by "super crew na lang ata ang available"?

[newbee]

up

[newbee]

hey... hero do u mean... they arent selling lariats anymore?... maybe that would explain kung bakit konti lang ang lariats na nakikita ko

[Hero]

hello..looking for me?

ehehehehe

ever since the introduction of the supercrew last year i havent seen new lariats in the showrooms ever...and dahil impted yan at wala sa showrooms eh di wala na...and all the new f150s that are roaming around are all supercrews...i dont know how much longer the lenght of the supercrew is but the interior is definitely much much better with the moonroof and the spacious and sofa rear seats better than the expedition really...

how much more money...well youre getting accs from the casa will surely make it more mahal..any casa that is..no one in their right minds would get accs from the casa unless they cant find it anywhere else...the mags itself..which you cant trade in with them...would set your parents back mga 70k?....well thats just my guesstimate it may be too high or too low maybe call ford to know how much really it is..what more the tires and the somewhat impossible to get sport trac stereo....

you know what tantanan mo muna tong kotse hunt mo....ang tagal ka pa naman bibili eh..maraming lalabas next year....basta ako naghihintay ng mula sa langit ng pambili ko ng bagong expedition...ahahahaha

[newbee]

hmmm sa palagay mo madaming new models ang lalabas by may-june?

[Hero]

yeah i think so with the rate they're going there are new cars coming out every month...

We just got a Super Crew and I have to say the interior fit and finish feels better than the 2 previous Expeditions we had (one local and the other a gray-market Eddie Bauer which we still have). It seems to feels better screwed together. And for the price, IMHO sulit IF you will keep it for a while and use it for what its meant for, like hauling serious-a** on lots of long drives. ;)

For the rear legroom, its decent BUT still nothing compared to a regular Exped. Parang regular 2.0 sedan rear legroom lang. The front seats are much better than the Expeds since they have better side bolsters and thigh supports. The lumbar support though on the Exped seats seem much better.

As for how much longer the Super Crew is compared to the Lariat, well hindi ko alam. Pero the Super Crew is about a foot longer than an Exped. Fuel consumption for city driving is simple: 2,000 for a week's driving in the city (mostly confined to EDSOR area). About 180 miles or 300 kilometers from 100 liters. But that figure literally doubles when you take it to long drives to Baguio, Batangas etc.

As for quirks in the cars, well the ISC seems to get really dirty and messes up idling, and you have to really shut-off the engine when gassing up as the fuel-pump is very sensitive to the loss in vacuum in the tank. Done repeatedly, you will have to replace the fuel pump. Medyo mahal ito.

OT na but IMHO buying a car then factoring the value / depreciation etc. is quite pointless, since it gets in the way of enjoying the car. I have a Lancer which I take to the track, madami na nasira at pinalitan ko, pero its worth all the enjoyment and fun I get.

My dad's W140 Benz, which he rarely uses, has also been through some major repairs since hindi niya ginagamit palagi before and the depreciation of that thing, especialy when the W220 came out was catastrophic. 50% loss in value in the used car market. Does he get to enjoy it now? Only after he accepted the fact that his car's value was halved in 2 years, sad considring its done only 5,000 miles. So ginagamit na niya mas madalas.

When you buy a car, write it off agad as an expense in your FS, pure and simple. You'll enjoy the car more. Forget the pure BS of it as a liability. That's funny money talking. ;)
