Well...as alot of you may already know, I sold the Valk. It went to a fellow club members so it's in very very good hands.
Thing is, I was in need of a new(er) truck after driving a 20 year old Ford Expedition for the last 10 or 11 years or so....so I went truck shopping.
Bought myself a meticulously maintained, seriously in like brand spanking new condition, low mileage 2012 Ford F150 Platinum edition in Ingot Silver color. This is a Cadillac truck if there ever was one...I'm stoked.
My computer is having some serious issues at the moment or otherwise I'd post a few pictures of it...but like I said, it looks like a brand new truck.
I'm in love with this truck.
Now I have to get rid of that 20 year old Expedition.

We often hear about the Harley mystique. It seems they have nothing on Cadillac, when Ford owners describe their top-of-the line fancy truck not as a Lincoln, but as a Cadillac.

Congratulations BF We often hear about the Harley mystique. It seems they have nothing on Cadillac, when Ford owners describe their top-of-the line fancy truck not as a Lincoln, but as a Cadillac.   I think you are right. I never think of Lincoln automobiles. If I do, it's that old song about driving a "Hotrod Lincoln"

The Lincoln trucks that they have come out with may run, ride and drive great, but they've slapped so much crap on them they're butt ugly. Do they even still sell the Lincoln version of the F150? I luuuve my Platinum edition. https://okaloosa.craigslist.org/cto/5998519276.htmlI don't know if this link still works or not, but this is the truck. Nope....link no workie.

That link took me to a pic of an Escalade, but checking out other pics brought me to this cool Caddy (sorry, not a fancy new Ford):

yea the Lincoln Blackwood was a total garbage flop. Lincoln had another truck which basically was the same trim level as the platinum F150 with a Lincoln grill.
