The new Ford F-150 Black Ops is sex.

Now FORD has always been a hit or miss in my experience, some would rest their life on their ford truck, and some stick with the expression: "found on road dead"... however after seeing the f-150 black ops (not raptor) in Moab, UT this weekend, I decided this is a truck I would readily trade my car, and 1/4 of my soul for:

I really like the new F-150 and love their Eco-boost engine! That "Ops" package looks pretty cool... I'm gonna look up the details.
 
Nice! I think the F150 since 2004 is probably the best looking fullsize. And you can't go wrong with an all black truck. But didnt Jeep have a Call of Duty edition of the Wrangler too?

Yes they did. Here is a Link to the one that was at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show.
 
$66k plus change;it ain't that cool plus it's sad that Ford is making quite a profit on those and only donating $200 per truck sale to the Wounded Warrior program for use of the Black Ops designation. :roadkill:
 
Not even close to worth it. Seems like a Jeep sort of thing. Looks good on the outside, but really fails when it comes to internals and reliability.

What? I think ford had come light years in terms of reliability and their interiors. They're really the best truck on the road I think.

I'd need to see stats for that. Mine has 147K, and I've replaced the driver's side mirror and the right rear blinker. That's it. Even my 4Runner has had more work than that, though it's all been dinky stuff.

Yup. My other rig is a 2000 Explorer I've had since '04. 170k, and I've had the thermostat go once. That's it. It's been a great truck.
 
It really is hit or miss cuz we have a 2000 F350 diesel here at work with 42000kms...it's had a cracked head, broken shift cable, burnt glow plug solenoids, transmission takes about a week to shift gear, tailgate hinge is cracked, interior is falling apart. I know its twelve years but its low mileage. Having said that, it's been a better truck than our chevy 1500 that's similar in age and mileage.

Don't get me wrong, Ford would be my second choice for a truck if I were to buy outside Toyota but they're are far from trouble free. As for the this truck, definitely nice but for that price I would rather the Raptor.
 
The lady at the dealership gave me a full run over of the thing, and I was quite impressed. Though I'd never buy the thing, I admit I touched myself after seeing it for the first time.

It has an amazing stereo system with an aux input and usb. The seats are quality, and the cab has an amazing amount of room. The floor is also rubber, which is nice. One thing that really stuck out to me was the insanely large wheel wells... the truck comes stock with 35"s... and looking at the picture, 37s would fit no problem.

If you really wanted a vehicle like this, it would be more cost effective just to buy a stock f150 and spend all the extra money on mods. Tuscany did an amazing job though.

it was stickered at 62k, and ford doesn't sell very many of these... they are quite unpopular actually, most likely due to the price, and won't sell more than 1k, the aftermarket company that does this particular truck charges a lot per truck, so really, this truck is just to bring people into the dealership, and hopefully hook them into another purchase.
 
This truck sums up all whats wrong with pickup trucks, instead of them being bog standard utility vehicles, every @sshole in this country bought them as a personal vehicle, and wanted to make them luxury over usefulness so now they have $50k price tags leather seats big V8's (cept the inline 6 cummins), mercedes style interiors, and other useless crap that i don't want on my truck. And then the diesel douchebags that think having 2 8 inch stacks coming through the bed is a great idea, because then you can't put any sort of bed cover on, or put a work body on it, the bed is essentially useless, and they make the whole diesel community look like @ssholes. So now you can't get a bottom of the line Diesel pickup without paying close to $40k, and only one manufacture will put in a proper 6 speed manual, so now if your towing you gotta beef up the auto transmission to handle the stress, heat, and weight for towing and then you got less control and efficiency because its an automatic. They are overpriced rust buckets.

I agree with you, and really I think it shows the evolution of the demand for cars in America. First people wanted pickups and trucks to do work, and haul around and be durable... now trucks have become items to make up for a lack of penis size (generally speaking), and have become really catered towards pavement use than anything else. The prime example of this is cadillac's pickup... its a pickup, but **** if I EVER seen anyone use it that way... its really just a luxury item.

All of that aside however, IF... I was buying a pickup for looks, I wouldn't think twice.
