New guy with new F150

I just wanted to stop in here with my first post on this forum and say hello. Yesterday, I purchased a 2011 F150 Supercrew 5.0 XLT 4x4 Offroad. I traded a 2009 Dodge 2500 Laramie Cummins 4x4 that I bought used in August. Before that, I had a 2006 Tundra Access cab 4x4 Offroad I bought new.

I knew I needed a bigger truck than the Tundra for my growing family and had been looking at the F150s for over a year. For whatever reason I got it in my head that I wanted a diesel, so I bought the Dodge. Mistake on my part because that is way more truck than I need and was very uncomfortable around town.

I should have bought the F150 in the first place, but....now that I have the F150, I will make a few mods, probably a leveling kit to begin with (spacers or struts, still have to research) and maybe a double DIN head unit with the Scoche bezel. Hope to get much good advice from the folks here at the forum.

Congrats on the new truck. I have the same one and absolutely love it. Nice and quiet truck, but will growl and go when you step on it.post some pics when you can.

Congrats on the new ride. As others have said on the forum - without pictures it never happened. I think you'll be very happy with your setup. Oh, and welcome to the forum.

welcome and congrats! I too traded from a diesel (08 f250) that got a best of 14.5mpg lol. I wasn't even considering an f150 until they came out with the new engines this year and I couldn't be happier. I hope the experience is the same for you

Ok, proof it happened





Best pics I could get with my iPhone on an overcast rainy day....

Nothing special YET....dealer has a lot full just like it, but this one is mine. It is actually a Texas edition. Apparently, my dealer in Arkansas swapped some Ecoboost trucks for 5.0 trucks with a dealer in Texas. Got a good deal on it with the X Plan and rebates...

Thanks everyone. After looking through Desert Dawgs thread, I know where I want to head with the mods....

Yup, if you see a gray Platinum EB with a Cubs sticker on the back glass give me a wave. (preferably with all of your fingers)
