I love the Ford F150 bakkie

[Ockie]

I really like this bakkie. Why dont we have it here?

 

[Fazda]

We don't have it here because it's just too damned big for our roads!

You have to have a Code 10 licence to drive it, just to begin with....

Seriously? I had no idea. That sucks!

Yup - they brought them out here and sold about 2 in 9 months, then gave up!

 

[Nick333]

Never took you for a compensator, Ockie.

Oh ok. That sucks.

I dig the Ranger also, but it does lack in the looks department compared to the F150 I think and the interior looks siff also if you compare it.

 

[CHURCHILL]

I think the final price of getting it here and having the right hand drive conversion done costs to much.

 

[Ockie]

Never took you for a compensator, Ockie.

I thought you would have been impressed that I dig bakkies.

Picture this - sunset.....Texas... sitting at the lights in a Mustang and a F150 rolls up to my right, and a yellow Camaro on my left. The combined purring waiting for the lights to go green soiled my pants.

 

[Pitbull]

Yea, because you can buy it for next to nothing in the US. here they go for close to R 2mil.

Insane...

Don't get me wrong, it's kind of cool that you like bakkies but the F150 is a bit like the hummer - a small dick, douche mobile.

Well, I hope I have proven to you that nor do I have one, and neither am I one. Or maybe you have a different opinion.

I just really dig the way it looks and that interior is amazing to me.

Wasn't talking about your actual size. The build quality on American car interiors is general atrocious. You could probably store your credit cards in the gaps between the panels in that thing judging by the pics.

Well I am talking about that.

/sends nick a pic as a refresher. lol

The only gap I can see that would irritate me is what appears to be a massive gap between the air vent and the driver side door.

 

[Ridolfc]

How about the Ford F650.
I want one of these in case the zombie apocalypse happens.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but, that interior violates every principle of good car interior design imo. The most basic design principle should be smooth and seamless which that interior is most emphatically not. In fact the only design principle it adheres to is symmetry. It reminds me of the sort of 90's hifi which came with it's supposed wattage emblazoned on the front.

It is modern retro. I dig it

 

[FiestaST]

Main reason is its LHD only & we are a RHD-only country.

 

[TJ99]

The F 250 is where it's at. I've seen several of them around SA. I've even driven one. It's awesome seeing the taxis GTFO the way when you get near.

Here's one should you have 1.2M to spend !

I have others ideas about what to do with 1.2M than buying a F150 :erm:
