Picked up my new truck last night!

All I can say about it is Wow! It took forever to find what I wanted and the dealer located it and picked it up for me. Purchased it on the X-Plan and got exactly what I wanted for my Corvette on trade in. He contacted the other dealer the day it got there but said they had already installed a bed liner so he said that was no cost as we had already agreed on the price. I love the ecoboost. I reset the fuel mileage and drove it home about 25 miles. It was about half interstate at 70mph and half state road at 55/60 mph with a few red lights. I used cruise control and when I reached my subdivision, I was averaging 20.8 mpg. Driving the last three miles through my subdivision though at 30mph with several stop signs knocked it down to about 18 when I reached my house. I have the 3.55 gears.

Thanks everyone for the help in my previous posts when I set out to buy a new truck.

Here are a few photos. All the photos can be seen here:

No issue at all. He did all the paperwork Friday on the expiration date. The truck arrived late that night and I just showed up Saturday to sign everything and handed over my keys.

Nice truck! Not sure I could deal with the light colored leather though.

You're gonna love those cooled seats. That might be one of my favorite things on mine.

The cooled seats are awesome. Especially since it was 93 out to day.

That plastic drop in bed liner has got to go. They rub, and cause rust in the bed. If you want it lined, go the Line-X route. Grab 2 buddies, lift it real high in the center from the tailgate opening, and wedge it out. Sell it on Craigslist to someone else who doesn't care about the damage they cause. That truck deserves better. You may have to temporarily unbolt the tie down eyelets.

I was actually wondering about that as I was thinking about a bedrug or bedtred. Haven't looked at the Line-X. What do the dealers charge for that drop-in if you had to pay for it to get an idea of what to charge for it if I take it out?

I think the dealer made a mistake, it's a V6.. Where's the 5.0?

Nice truck, I wish I had cooled seats in mine Guess that's the luxury of having a new truck!
