Default Got a new one...

Just popping in to post first pic my new truck - 2016 Screw 4x4 with 2.7EB.

I was looking for a plane jane with just a few specific things like 40/console/40, locking diff, and sport appearance package. I had a 2012 FX4 with 5.0 and a 2014 with a 3.5EB, so I wanted to try the 2.7EB. I also wanted to try a new color

I bought on the Z plan and only mods so far are what dealer already had on it - tint, sprayed liner, and some 3M protective clear guard.

I plan on keeping mods to a minimum - front level kit, bumping the tires up a size or two, wheel liners, and a tonneau cover

Full specs:

And the parking lot shot

Gonna have to change your sig. I'm also trying the 2.7 after two 3.5 Eco motors. So far like it a lot and am amazed at the far better mpg. Still scoots and has same power until around 60 or so but I can tell it has lower torque on higher hwy speeds. Still doesn't shift down though unless I make it...

Truck looks good.

Good looking truck. I'm trying to keep my modding to a minimum but I've been without a truck for 8 years and now that I'm back in one I cannot stop. They are subtle things but I seem to be doing something every weekend.

Good luck keeping the modding to a minimum

Enjoyed the first few days with new truck - loving it so far.

Today had a Procomp level kit done and changed tires to 275/70/18 Cooper ATP. I've run these tires on my trucks and have been pleasantly surprised.

What size level did you use and any modifications to the rear? I'm toying with the idea of getting a level when its time for new tires and yours looks perfect.
