Fine... I'll bite. I bought my 2008 f150 XLT because it was only 14k, had 88k miles, and was owned by my uncle who kept up on the maintenance. Plus, I was poor... Happy now?!?! 😎
 
I also have a 2006 6.0 F-350 short bed XLT FX4 that I love , this 23 Tremor is the first truck with leather .

I special ordered me a 1983 F250 XLT single cab with a 4/speed 351 V-8 (Dog) a year I got out of high school ,and also owned a 1994 F250 XLT w/ a 7.3 IDI/Turbo single cab (great truck!!) and a bunch of other HD military trucks

Worked hard on this one…. That Lariat owner looks exactly right.
I'm proud to be the little prince. The Lariat checked all the boxes for me (luckily since I didn't order mine, it was hiding in the back lot that somoene else ordered) Sort of like Goldilocks and the Three Bears!

All of you need to quit sniveling about which is better; XLT or Lariat, auto or manual. Behold our '91 "XLT Lariat" with the ZF 5 speed manual. Had to go to Nevada to find one.

I don’t know you but this is very funny to me.
I'm not sure where you are, but if you're anywhere near the SF Bay Area we need to do some bourbon drinking! You'll get to know me for sure over a bottle of Russell's 13!!!!! 🥃

Love it! Beautiful country up there! I'm originally from West Hempstead, Long Island. I'll open up a Russell's 13 soon and raise my glass to you remotely then!

My bottles are from last year. Never even saw a bottle of it this year anywhere. I think you’ll enjoy it!
 
I went into to the dealership wanting to order a King Ranch but you couldn't get BAP with KR in '21, thank you Ford for saving me money! You also couldn't get leather and AC for the boys in XLT..I live in the south AC seats are a requirement full stop, with boys and dogs so is leather...ended up with a Ultimate Lariat with Sunroof and folding running boards. Folding running boards were also a requirement cause my wife is short. 🤷‍♂️

Can confirm as I live down in Charleston, SC. Only got the lariat for the AC seats. And the leather because... kids

Yeah, thank god the south was uninhabited until Air Conditioned seats were invented.

I reiterate my thoughts on just how disappointed our ancestors would be with us lol.

Yeah I opened up the first batch and bought 2 more when I could find them. Nothing this year, but I found a single rickhouse Camp Nelson C. I know this should be in the bourbon thread but oh well. The 2 13’s I have are laser coded LL/JL and LL/JD respectively. Apparently those letters call out the different batches.

That’s ok, I would say this is a general BS thread anyway. In case you missed the last few pages of utter shenanigans!

Those are some mighty fine bottles!!! Good hunting! Did you get them at MSRP? I scored two bottles of RR13 last year at $90 a bottle I was elated. This year not so much!

I wish I got them at MSRP, I came close to getting one at Total Wine, but missed it by minutes. I paid between $300-350 otd for the 13's and found the Camp Nelson C at K&L Wines for about the same $300.
 
My dog goes everywhere with me so no leather. Great that you can delete the carpet. I don't need all the bells. XLT premium, tremor & sport is enough for me. Along with the >10k gwvr

Ouch…. So that picture is $1000 worth of liquor. Someone needs to start a rumor that drinking bourbon will make you die young….. so we can get back to normal pricing again.

See I would have thought with a doggo leather would be preferred. I’m guessing you’re gonna do seat covers instead?

yeah the days of me spending that kind of money on bourbon has likely ended for me after my last baby was born, which is why I haven't opened some of these yet. I guess just waiting for the right occassion with good friends. The whole allocated bottle price gouging for me has gotten old. Hence why I try to find the regular Russell's red label when I can. Jimmy knows what he is doing eh?
