Wow, nice truck. Are you planning on upgrading the wheels/tires later on? I don't know about you, but I love the gray theme on these trucks. I was a chrome guy until now.

I consider myself a chrome guy too, but the FX trucks look sweet.

So now after driving it for a couple of days are you still grinning? lol

I'm still stoked! When I was single, I used to spend hours in a new vehicle pushing buttons and figuring things out. Now that I'm married with kids, I don't have that luxury anymore. The My Ford Touch system is aweome. Hopefully, my flares will be in today. Speaking of flares, let me know if you are interested in the set I have in the shed. I'll give you a good price on them. I had bought them way back when to paint and install them on my previous truck, but never had the time to do so. Then, I came across a set of flares that matched the truck at a really good price. I couldn't pass that deal up.

Let me know. How are you enjoying those wheels?

Wow! Nice ride. Glad you went with the 20" wheel crowd, I am in love with those wheels.

I really love the MFT in the 2013's, one that isn't buggy is super nice and easy to use, and gotta love how that system keeps the list price lower than a 2012 with nav.

That's my exact truck circa 2011! I love my FX4, but Mac Haik Ford has a '13 in Race Red, and I'm a fool for red vehicles. Takes everything I've got to stay away from that site....

You're gonna love that truck , trust me!

Ain't that the truth...Ok I will get killed for this...I don't even have time to wash truck or SUVs. Even going to the lazy gas station car wash takes too long...When I was a single guy with cash in my pocket there was a BMW M3, Toyota Tacoma, and Lexus Gs400 in the garage of the paid off house!

now look at me:


Naw guys it is not that bad...Sugar momma let's me buy things once in awhile, but I would feel guilty with 2 kids to put through school in about 15 years time

Glad to hear you're loving the truck. How are you liking the extra room of the SuperCrew? I was used to driving a crew cab before this, but I'm still amazed by all the room these trucks have.

I'll send ya a pm on the flares. After looking at the tires on the truck it really needs them now lol.

The wheels & tires are awesome. It's like driving the truck for the first time all over again. It wasn't until today that I noticed they were the ATR's. I really like the more aggressive look, and they actually ride better than the wore out OEM Michelin's that were on the 18's.

Man, when I was single, I had a BMW 330i, BMW X5 (granted it was a 3.0, but it was a manual 6 speed, so it was cool to drive) and cash. Now that I'm married, the X5 went bye bye for a Buick Enclave, and the 330 as well as my old truck went bye bye for this new truck. My cars used to be so clean....no swirl marks....perfect. Heck, I used to pull the wheels off the 330 to clean and wax the insides of the wheels. Now, I barely have time to think.

Glad you like the tires. Those are the best wheels Ford ever came out with. I was really stoked when I put them on my truck. Gives a more aggressive look to the truck too. I'l PM you on the flares.
