Finally got one

I just bought this 09 STX used with only 1473 miles on it and got a great deal
Yeah I wish it had a few more options like the upper level trucks but I'm happy with it. I'm going to tint the rear windows and get a bed cover as soon as my wallet recovers The ride is incredible, way better than my 03 Silverado Z71. I was never a fan of stepside beds but I think this one looks pretty good.

2 valve 4.6 or the 3 valve 4.6?

I am really digging that blue flame but have yet to see one on the road in the Chattanooga area

It's the 2V 4.6, I would have preferred the 3V for more power and better MPG's but when buying used you take what's offered. So far I'm averaging 18.4 mpg which isn't bad at all and I hope it gets better as my commute is 116 miles round trip I love the Blue Flame color also haven't seen another the same color around here either.

Nice3 rig man...like that color - especially with the flareside - looks great Your 4.5 2V is getting pretty good mileage too, as my 5.4 is averaging 13.6mpg (I do drive mostly short trips and in town though).

Your truck looks great. I haven't seen any 09's in that color in any of my travels. Good luck with your new ride. I'm enjoying mine.

Thanks all, I haven't found anyone who hasn't commented positively on the color yet. As far as mods go well my money for mods has to get split between the F150 and my 08 Subaru Legacy GT. I recently put custom wheels on the GT but don't have pics yet of them. If you know anything about these 2.5 turbo motors then you know I can make some big power with some mods.


Sorry for the blurry pics, someone needs to hold the camera still:o
