    Hello!

    I bought my first truck back in 2018, a 2015 F-150 Lariat. I never owned a truck but I test drove them all when I bought the F-150. Of all the trucks I test drove, I liked the Tundra the best but the 13/17 mpg scarred me to death so I ended up buying the F-150. To my surprise my F-150 only got around 18 mpg when I was expecting 20+ and it had major front end issues under warranty and under 60k. Got it fixed twice under warranty and it still showed the same issues after it was out of warranty. I got lucky and sold it early 2021 and made much more on it than I thought I would. I went straight for a Toyota Tundra upon purchasing my second truck and lucked out to find a Voodoo Blue one for $48.5k in March of 2021. Funny thing is I didn't like the Voodoo Blue at first and thought I wanted Cement but I didn't pull the trigger fast enough and the Cement one was bought up. I'm glad it worked out how it did b/c I love the Voodoo Blue! The F-150 was too nice and had too many bells and whistles. When I get in my Tundra, it feels and drives like what I thought a truck should be. I hope to be driving this Voodoo Blue for a long time! I just did my first chrome delete on it today and will post that in another forum.

    Glad to be here!

    Holy cow, that is one beautiful f*ck!n truck! I'm swooning! I wish that I could buy/own one of those. As it is, I'm stuck with a relatively pedestrian black Platinum. You, sir, are a lucky so-and-so.

    Haha...thank you! My F-150 was two toned but primarily black so I avoided black this time around. First time I saw the Voodoo Blue I was like no f**kin way. Now I can't see myself in another color. That 2022 Solar Octane looks amazing but I'm afraid the price tag is going to be YUGE.
