What was the reasoning? Did you take a bad hit on the deal?

I live in NE Ohio and the Mustang sat in my garage the last 5 months. Just got sick of making a payment on something I wasn't driving. I sold my last F-150 about a month before I bought my house and have regretted it since, carrying 2x4s in a VW Rabbit wasn't cutting it.

Didn't take as big a hit as I thought I would. X-plan pricing and the great rebates Ford is offering right now helped. Plus my interest rate on the F150 is 3% lower than what I had on the 'Stang.

I was extremely surprised my 2011 5.0 stang got around w stock tires. We put 280# of sand in the back trunk. Def best mustang in snow I've ever had.. That auto w 3rd gear takeoff is the tits. Good luck op on your decision.

Nice truck! And you still got the same powerplant.

What every happened to the 6.2L engine? I haven't heard anything about it performance wise, only the 5.0L :shrug:

Can't get a 6.2 in the FX4, only Raptor, Lariat, or Harley are available with it. If I were going to be hauling a horse trailer or something then maybe I would have went with it, but the 9,400LB tow capacity I get with the 5.0 is WAY more than I will ever use. Also for some reason the 6.2 is only available with a crew cab 5.5' bed truck. A dirt bike wouldn't even fit in that without the rear wheel hanging off the tailgate.

What are the rebates like now? I keep seeing 4k up to 5250. I'm getting ready to do the same thing.
