Just bought my first Ford

Hello everyone! I just bought my first Ford vehicle... a 2010 F150 Lariat SuperCrew in Red Candy Metallic. I had a 4-door Chevy Colorado (bought new in '04) and loved it, but my kids are getting bigger, so we needed something with more interior space. And this truck definitely has it!

The first order of business is a tonneau cover, so I'll be searching the forum for everyone's favorites.

Looking forward to many years of happy ownership.

Thats a nice Upgrade! Hope you enjoy it as much as a lot of us do.

As for tonneau covers, i've seen all sorts of mods, covers, and such posted on the sight in previous months. I wouldnt imagine you'd have much difficulty.

Be well!

Welcome to the forum. Now we need some pictures, because as they say on here "without pictures it never happened". Good luck with the new ride. Enjoy it.

Welcome and congratulations. My parents have a place in North Port, so I fly into your town at least once a year.

Oh, and...

Hey, what a coincidence. My 2010 Red Candy Metallic Lariat is my first ever Ford vehicle, and until 4:30 this afternoon I lived in Florida, too lol. Congrats on the new truck. I'm sure you'll love it. And as others have said, pics are mandatory

I think all us Red Candy Metallic F150 Lariats need our own forum.

I picked mine up 2 weeks ago but I "upgraded" from a 2010 Camaro.

Thanks everyone!

I know, I know... pics are required. I just snapped a few after a quick downpour, so it's no longer spotless, but oh well... I have Tropical Storm Nicole to thank for that!

tradosaurus, I was actually deciding between a Camaro and a full size truck. My wife took one look at the front seat of the Camaro and said, "There's no way I'm riding in that thing." (she drives a Tahoe). And my 9 year old son is almost 5' tall, so he'd be scrunched in the backseat. We're all VERY excited and happy with the truck.

And so far, mine is the only Red Candy Metallic I've seen in my town.
