Yes. Stiffer springs, slightly higher rear diff, and some other factors create a sportier ride than a stock Taurus.

Congrats, my F150 was Magnetic (color, not metal property )
Was a pretty easy color to keep clean.

I filled it up today and the mpg was a nice surprise. The onboard mpg avg stated 25.6 mpg and it’s been my experience actual mpg is always a bit less than that. The cars real mpg was 27.48 miles per gallon. I can live with that

Thinking about picking up this one.. $10,000 off MSRP. Not very sexy or fun car, but damn that's a good value.

That’s a good looking car.

I’m a few weeks into driving mine and I absolutely love it. Zero regrets. The only thing I will change out are the wheels.

Don’t wait too long.

What about acceleration? It's 288hp, but a big ass vehicle.

Is that new or used? I’m looking for one but I’m not finding deals anything close to what’s being posted in this thread.

I checked the link and scrolled down to the fine print. Add a thousand bucks(!) -- OK, I exagerate, it's only $999 -- for "dealer processing fee."

All dealers around here have BS $500-1,000 dealer acquisition fee, adminstrative fee, or bear proofing fee of some sort.

Might be worth traveling a bit. I know that I would do that.

It’s a bit lethargic in drive but drop it into sport mode and it wakes right up.

Not going away, they just put bigger tires on it and tacked on some Bronco emblems here and there.

Now that's funny,don't care who you are.

I got mine! Black 2017 with 10K on the clock. Drives smoother and a little faster than my 2013.

Now to find one of those Black mesh SHO grills with the chrome surround. Regards 18DAI

With an aluminum body, your F150 was actually non-magnetic magnetic. Mine's called Leadfoot (color and driver).

Get an Interceptor grille, instead.

Didn't go this morning. Had to be at grandpas this morning to move some stuff for Passover. Was going to go to gun show, wife wasn't feeling good. Just decided, not to even go look at it. I don't need a new car. While mine is 7 years old, it only has 25k on the odo. I don't need something new and shiny, just because it's new and shiny even if it's an exceptionally good value. If I am going to spend extra money, probably best on kitchen remodel, much better ROI.

Hopefully I don't get off early from work one day this week, might change my mind and bring it home with me. So glad it's 40mi away, keeps likelihood of just kicking the tires down.
