Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of the earlier design F-150s. '96 was a good year.
My grandmother owns one. I'm not sure of the specs, but it's sweet as hell. Two-tone silver/blue, running boards, solid taneau cover(sp?), and the biggest engine they had for towing. Gorgeous truck. As far as I'm concerned that thing would hold its' own in a truck show to this day 2 re-designs later.
And Chevy being the best trucks? Please. I'm not all brand loyal like many, but I worked at a RV/Trailer Dealer/Shop/Accessory store a couple years back, and almost no one towed the big trailers with Chevy's, and if they did it was only with Dualies. They sucked gas, were uncomfortable as hell, and couldn't pull worth [censored].
