2006 Ford F-150 XLT

It has come to my attention that I haven't covered any trucks yet. This is disappointing; you have my word that I've disciplined myself for this transgression. Having said that I can't introduce just any old truck, that just won't fly. No, I only introduce the baddest of the lamma-jammest, whatever that means. Without further ado let me plunge you into the raw power-filled world of the 2006 Ford F-150 XLT.

Need a monster of a truck? How about a 5.4 L fuel injected V8 pumping 308 horses throughout the veins of this beast? If that isn't enough to get your heart all a-flutter, maybe the 18-inch wheels or the maximum tow package might do the job. This truck is rugged: like a caveman fighting a polar bear with his bare hands, then having a drinking contest with said polar bear after the fight is over. Yeah, that rugged.

As burly and extreme as the exterior is, the cabin is surprisingly comfortable. A full length crew cab back row of seats means you won't be squishing your butt into those dinky little bench-style seats. Which means you can load up your four thousand pound porcelain penguin into the back of the truck and transport all your merry little workers around in comfort.

You owe it to yourself to pick up this truck. It's safe for the kids, so if you want to get your teenager a car to celebrate getting their drivers licence, this is the way to go. It's tough and dependable, so if you need to tow your daughter's F-150 after she takes out four mailboxes texting on the road, this is the way to go. Dependable, comfortable, reliable and enjoyable: this is the 2006 Ford F-150 XLT, and this is available only at LaFontaine Nissan. Ask for Bobby; you won't regret it.
