Greetings fellow travelers. I just joined the Ford ownership fraternity. Many thanks are due to the folks here that post often, which helped me in the decision to get this truck, and start adding accessories. (The search function is your friend)
I've added a box liner, a F250 bed extender ($40 off kijiji!), (it works for me as I never stow it away). Bed side retractable steps ($100, another kijiji find). Steps didn't have hardware so at the suggestion found on this forum, I went to lowes and bought M8 spring nuts and bolts x 8. Total cost was under $20 to mount the steps.
Looking for a Solid Fold Tonneau now and a tailgate assist.
This is a pic taken the day I took ownership

Congrats on the new truck. Hmmmmm.......the picture looks like a STX Sport, not an XL? Also looks like Eastgate Ford in Hamilton
Sharp eyes! Correct on both counts
It's at Eastgate and it's the STX Sport package (Can't seem to be able edit the topic heading after it's been posted) the rest of the truck is pretty basic crank down windows and all
It sat on the lot since February and had about 100 kms of test drives on it.
It does have the 5.0L engine, and trailer towing package which for me was necessary. I also prefer the black and "Piston gray" cloth interior .
The Sport grill is also nicer than the base truck for my taste
