Default Back to a F150

Tomorrow I'm picking up a 2020 F150 STX 2.7 Crew cab 2wd. I'm pretty excited and have a plethora of modifications already planned. I didn't see any reviews on the 2wd version of the STX when doing my research, so I plan on documenting everything thoroughly and plan on keeping this truck many years past it's pay off date and getting rid of the STX stickers. It's white and I plan on blacking all of the emblems out, doing some slight performance modifications, (tuner, Cai, blowoff to atmosphere, resonator delete, and delete the inserts in the intake piping and eventually a limited slip differential).

The reason I'm getting a 2wd is I don't need a 4x4, as I mainly do street driving and don't plan on taking my truck off road. Also the extra MPG will be nice if I can ever stay out of boost to get those ratings.

I've got a month old 2.7 F150 STX 2x4. It sure drives nice, and makes my older F250 diesel feel like a log wagon. Also handles so much better.

I'm getting 22.5 mpg in mixed driving right now. I'm still surprised how downright fast this truck is in Sport Mode.

Congratulations on the new ride. All I've done is buy Husky floor mats and rear liner--on sale online for $115. Mine came equipped with just enough, but not too many options. Just like I would have ordered it myself.

Congratulations. With those mods are you not concerned about your warranty?

The one I want retains the lower part of the box, seals against the hood and uses a conical filter element. Retains everything else. It's fairly cheap so it's no biggie.

Not really. Only the tuner would be in question but it keeps all of the Ford fail-safes so it shouldn't be a issue. If need be, it could easily be put back to stock.

And more turbo noises and a lifetime filter. It's well worth it.

And a dusted turbo from the dirt it passes!
