F-150 diesel, if they're buying . . .

Has Ford started making an F-150 Diesel?

 

[jeeplas]

I just looked at the Ford website and it looks like they only offer one motor now. The 4.6 lt. V-8. I wonder why they stopped putting the 5.4 in F-150 trucks.

 

[goodburbon]

or the 4.0 V-6?

 

[goodburbon]

Looks like there are 2 versions of the 4.6 and the 5.4 is available on the FX4, Lariat, King ranch, and Platinum.

Rev, it all depends on how much you want to spend. Do you have to have a Mathews bow to do any good.....heck no. I shoot a Hoyt and it's a great bow. Don't be afraid of a used bow either. I bought mine used, it was a year old. One of those guys that have to get the latest and greatest every year traded it in. There are some good deals to be had from guys like that. You'll need to know your drawlength before you buy. I'm going to guess 29-30" but that's nothing more than a guess.
I used to shoot aluminum arrows. I got tired of tearing them up. I'd shoot in the back yard and I'd hit one arrow with another while shooting at a target. Not "robin hooding" arrows but I'd put a nice crease down the arrow. So, I went to carbons. Easton Axis 220's. It's a heavy arrow for a carbon but I like it. A heavy arrow flying at 250fps has lots of kenetic energy for knockdown power.

Anyway, I could go on forever here. You've got my digits if you're interested in more info.

Supposed to be a mid-year '10 model in '09

But with the economy and the problems in the auto industry, there's some talk that it won't happen.

The ridiculously high price of diesel compared to gas would sure as hell keep me from buying one.

I would need to get about 28mpg from my diesel van to equal the fuel cost per mile of driving my 94 XJ.

If they were getting 50% better fuel economy over the gassers, then the small increase in power might be worth it.

The 5.4 is available in the XL.

No diesels in anything, not worth the money for us.

Is it possible that the cutter had already dipped into the Di Saronno?

Quite possible. My hair looks like the green after I'm through whacking: full of divots!

It was a free haircut from a friend, so I really can't complain.

I'm halfway in the market for a used bow myself, for both small game and deer. I hiked our 80 acres when we were back home for Christmas and managed to scare up 4 good sized deer. There were game trails and scat piles all around the property as well, I'm sure I could bag something. Unfortunately the area isn't big enough to allow firearms, as it is surrounded on three sides by houses.

There's a great bow shop here in town. Next time you're over here we'll stop in. He's usually got a few good used bows on a rack. He just recently started selling firearms as well. He dosen't stock many guns yet.
