Default Finally did it

Traded in the Subaru WRX I had for 10 years in on this guy. I'm going to miss that car a lot but I look forward to making this one my own.

2017 XLT 302a special edition package. 3.5L Ecoboost with 10 speed.





Not feeling the vinyl graphics so I'll probably take those off. But I love the interior. Thanks all for the information before going in to the dealer. I think the first mod is the tail gate damper.

Congrats on the new truck, I love the blue! I assume your Subaru was blue which is why you went with this colour?

I did that and the lariat led 3rd brake light (one of the best things yet, it actually lights the bed up)

Funny you ask because the Subaru was blue haha! I actually told myself when I first started looking I didn't want another blue car since I had my blue WRX for 10 years, but the f-150 looks so good in blue and this particular truck had everything I wanted.

Ha ha.....first thing I was gonna say was, "Off with those graphics!" (Personal choice, only, of course)

But.....should also be a lot of fun taking them off. Hair dryer or light heat gun & just peel away slowly. Also get to see that nice virgin paint underneath. Should be smooth as a baby's butt!!

You are not going to regret your change to a truck! First off that truck is a rocket. Second, having some ground clearance means debris on the highway is not a death sentence. And finally, trucks have a presence on the road that people notice, cars not so much. Enjoy your new machine, you're going to love it.

Yeah I figure the sooner the better since it hasn't been sitting long baking in the sun.
