Default had to let her go!

got my 07 wrangler in october with 24,000 miles on her, in 5 months i had to replace the tranny, the headlight switch, all new springs because the bds on it failed, and still didnt fix the lean of the jeep, the thing couldnt even go up a hill. so i decided to trade it in for a 2011 f150 4x4 with the 5.0 and love it. it is nice to have something reliable and with power! i loved the look of my jk but other than the looks it was a horrible vehicle.

ford doesnt have a bad rep, they have been making soild trucks for years. In my opinion no one makes a better truck right now.

I would bet the previous owner sucked with maintenance, my 08 has been great. Nice choice on the truck, if I didn't have my jeep I would have a raptor for sure

im sure it was the previous owner, im not saying all jeeps are bad, im just saying mine was. I was thinking about getting a new jeep but for the same price as the jeep i could get a brand new xlt f150 4x4 with tons of options with a 5.0l v8. it was a no brainer for me.

Enjoy being able to go up a hill on the highway... I like playing with the sync system on the f250's. Every once in a while it will get the command right. The only thing that bugs me about the ford navigation is it does not give you updates. You can drive 50 miles on a road and it will not say a word. I get paranoid thinking I might have missed a turn.

i hated the gps in my jeep, i never updated it though. i love the power of the new 5.0 it runs neck and neck with my friends 5.7l tundra.

Never had the jeep nav so I really can't compare them. Hope you like the truck. Tundra didn't do to well against the new diesel 6.7, either.
