Picture Gallery:  2007 Ford F150 4x4


Day 1:

2007 Ford F150 4x4
Click Image to Enlarge

I thought it was rather ironic that my test vehicle for the week wears a Michigan license plate.  Why is this ironic?  Well the Ford F150 is the top selling vehicle in Canada over and over again - how Canadian to be driving around a U.S.-plated vehicle. But I digress. My vehicle for the week is a Ford F150 4x4 powered by the 5.4-litre Ford Triton V8.  More ...

"I see the F150 as a work horse vehicle on rural farms and on construction sites."

Come to these parts of Canada and you can see what these trucks are used for.  I see a lot of them parked in the downtown core, loaded with leather and RES and big polished rims, all the accessories and clean enough to eat off them.

I'm from UK - hope that's ok! I drove a F150 around our tiny roads and let me tell you, as good as it is on straights, on corners and bends... just didn't happen for me.

 Huh A well thought, factual, and articulate post from the backbenchers.  Roll Eyes Some day you will grow up and add value, in the meantime just keep reading and you might learn something.

Surely it is still a federal offence for a Canadian resident to drive a US plated vehicle in Canada?  It always was. Of course as a tester driving a Ford Co owned truck there won't be a problem for you.

 I would have thought that Ford Canada would have arranged a Ontario plated truck.

I cannot see the original post from notafordfan.  Has it been removed and if so why?  It is no more silly than lots of other posts on the forum, it wasnt obscene, racist, neocon or anything else AND it can still be seen quoted.
