Hey guys, I recently picked up a Ford F150 2014's FX4. This truck is awesome. Drives great and lots of power. I got the 5l V8. First of all what are the things I need do to this brand new truck, any tweaks or adjustments? that would improve or make things better? I had a lot of questions but I can't remember them right now, but I do have three that I remember which is why I decided to finally sign up. I was going through the 4.2" productivity screen in the instrument cluster and there doesn't seem to be that much in there. I went into the gauge mode and There's only Tranny temp and that's it. I thought in gauge mode, there would be a selection of gauges to choose from, like a digital speedometer, other temperatures. Can I someone get those? I prefer to have a digital speedometer, That's what I had on my VW. And there was another option for "Truck apps" I clicked it and saw there were only two things in this; the off road stuff and trailer stuff. Can I download/add more apps, or does it only have these two? Finally, when adjusting the bass from the myford touch, is there another separate section for the 750W sony subwoofer alone? because I felt that increase the bass, I got a bit of gain in the deep sub from the woofer and a lot of gain in the mid-range from the speakers. I only want to increase low-range bass while keep the speakers from not producing any bass. Thanks guys. I am still taking it all in, I am still going through the books and manuals to see what this truck can do.
It's an offroad truck not a Cadillac. It can tow and tear up the offroad
Thanks for the feedback guys, I was able to get some shots of the truck today. Its nothing fancy, but to me it looks awesome.
I was initially gonna go with FX4 appearance package, then decided against it, because I didn't like the decals. In my area there are a lot of Blue, Red and Black coloured pick-ups so I decided to get sterling Grey because its not that common and the truck looks awesome.

Trucks can utilize extra parameters displayed on the screen; just as much as a Cadillac, or even more so.
The dealer threw in a free LineX bedliner, I'm supposed to go back whenever I have time and get it done.
Also for the guys who have the Sony sub woofer in their trucks, do you guys find the sub to be lacking? I feel that the sub produces almost no bass and its all coming from the speakers.
That sub has has 200W of power with 800W peak. And you can really feel the bass at just zero and if you go up it gets almost too much. I keep the bass -1 in my jeep and still it shakes the seats. I don't feel the same in the truck.

Not a deal breaker though.
when i get mine i might stuff the sub housing with something like cotton batten to help the bass output. I did that in my '11 and it made a huge difference.
Congrats! I've had mine for almost a year now and I still get a smile on my face every time I drive it.
Thanks

I searched around the forums and this sony sub is only 8" and being encased in a plastic housing doesn't help it either.
