Brought home my new 2012 FX4 this past Thursday. I believe it has every option except the appearance package, running boards and 20" wheels, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, I'm crazy about the truck! I've owned a 2006 XLT 5.4, downgraded to an older Expedition and now I'm back where I belong!



I plan on keeping her stock, other than some moderate tint, Silverstar Ultra headlights and fogs, and a bed liner. But we all know how plans usually work out!

I got 14.8 MPG overall on the first tank the dealer put in, but that was absolutely ******* the truck! A trip from San Jose to San Francisco and back netted about 18.2 MPG (120ish miles RT), mostly highway with some city thrown in. I'll be pulling the 7x16 below a good 5-10 times a month so I'll be sure to report back with MPG numbers after I hit my 1000k.

 

Nice truck. Congrats on the purchase, and you couldn't have picked a better color

Gearz did a special on the Ecoboost, exhaust, cai, programmer, and it was almost the exact truck you have.

Have fun and happy modding.

 

Wow! She's a beauty! I am looking for that exact same truck right now. I got three quotes this morning, but they all have the running boards and 20" tires. I am going to lift the truck so I'm trying to locate without the tires.

 

Frontier Ford paper plate? Good looking truck!

 

Lovin the new truck im waiting on mine hopefully soon black appearance package, imho the best colour to go with if ya dont mind cleaning

 

Nice!!

 

Congrats! My buddy just bought the same truck.... He is a member on here, but hasn't posted a whole lot yet.....

 

Great truck.

When did they start putting SRA's on the FX4? I thought they were all ATS in 18"?

 

Yea, I've seen that about 10 times since it came out last week. I might eventually throw on a cat back and CAI. Definitely not messing with the computer until warranty is up though.

Thanks! I looked at a few trucks with the 20's and running boards. I'm not a big fan of the 20's actually, but I already think I might have to install some aftermarket running boards for a few of my "vertically challenged" friends. Or maybe I'll leave it as it's a good excuse to help the ladies in the truck?

Wow, good eye! I did a pretty good search and Frontier was the only dealer that had the truck with the options I wanted. Morgan Hill let me take a nice XLT home for a night since I thought that's what I wanted, but after getting in a loaded FX4 I knew I couldn't settle for another XLT since I had one in 06'. Felt pretty bad taking the truck back since they were pretty accommodating. Offered to buy the frontier truck through them but I guess they are arch rivals and don't deal with each other...

Nice! Post pics when you do.

Did he? Nice! Assuming his truck is still stock like mine, I can see why he wouldn't post. There are some really nice trucks on here wayyyy more worthy of being shown off! But I went through a lot since having my 06' so I figured what the hell, pretty proud to be back in a F150, stock or not.

 

Congrats.....looks nice!

 

Nice looking truck, the black is sexy

 

Okay thats the FX4 sticker I need... the 09 one looks like it's damaged when it's brand new... and boy thats alot of trailer for a 1/2 ton truck...

 

Great looking truck. One question is that the 6.5' bed?

 

thats a 5.5

 

For the 6.5' beds is the extra length added towards the front or rear of the wheel well or both?
