Default New buy: EB 2011 King Ranch

Just purchased a KR ecoboost F-150! Truck is black with the two-tone tan. Loving the interior. Truck has 55,000 miles on it and is completely stock. Have a little money for mods but not sure if I want to go for looks or performance?

Any advice or any other King Ranch guys out there I could steal some ideas from

First and foremost going to tint front 2 windows and hopefully, fingers crossed I can find a shop to do my windshield. After that I'm at a lost where to go with mods so any ideas or advice would be nice.

Can't wait to feel the BOOOOOOOSSSTTTTTTT! Haha

congrats on the new ride. I have had two King Ranches, a 2010 and now a 2014 and have gone with a 2.5" front level and 3" rear block on both of them, as well as larger tires on stock wheels. to me it looks like the way it should have come from the factory.

I've also had the front sides tinted to match and then 35% over the whole windshield on both of them. I don't want the sun ruining my King Ranch leather, or at least that's my excuse.

here's my 2010 with level/block and 275/65R20's

oh and also, the first thing I do when I buy a truck is get my hands on a tonneau cover for it. I'd definitely recommend looking into them if you plan on storing anything in your bed.

First mod would be a tune. Plenty of good vendors to choose from.

Love your setup, was actually looking at your truck a few days ago before my purchase. I def want the tint and tonneau cover. Tint will obviously come first but thinking mods may go as follow:

Tint - 35% on side 2 windows and windshield
Tonneau Cover- Still figuring out which one I want but leaning towards that bakflip G2
Performance: Exhaust (not sure but wanting a nice tone) , 170 thermostat, and tune
Lift or leveling kit later down the road since I'm not sure on set up but I REALLY like what you did.
I have read the intakes do not do much for these trucks.

Congrats. I have a fair amount of mods on my king ranch, since you said you were looking for mod ideas. My build thread is in my sig.

Welp the modding has begun: windows will all be tinted tonight! Went with 30% drivers and passenger window & 80% windshield with a 6-8in sun visor.

Also just placed the order on my Stage 2 intake from AFE along with the Black tipped 4" catback.

Can't forget the weather tech (tan) floor mats and stubby antenna.

Yeah I am WAY to antsy lol
