Default Just picked up my new F150!!!

Went from my 2009 Focus into a 2018 Screw XLT today! Been wanting to get into an F150 for a while now, but only seriously began shopping it over the past year. Came across an unreal deal on a model clear out 2018 with everything I wanted and only 258 kms on it.

I originally wanted a 5.0 V8, but the info on the forum was super helpful (worried about the oil consumption) so I opted for the 3.5 instead.

My focus served me very well, 221000 kms, outside of basic maintenance it did great. Hauling 2x4’s and steel for my hobbies in it was getting ridiculous. Buuuut I’m the kind of guy who needs an amazing deal to buy most things.

Really have loved the info on the forum, it was super helpful in what to watch for. I got the panoramic roof on it, I could care less but the wife wanted it. Rule is no opening it lol, I’m not messing around with it. If she wants air we have a convertible mustang for that lol.

No mods happening for it, has everything I need for years to come.

Enjoy the new truck! You got your money’s worth out of the focus. Like you, I’m always looking for the deal. Hope it gives you many miles of service.

“ no mods happening” ? We have all heard that before. Great choice.

I got the same color but I have a metalic gray strip along the bottom..when cleaned and waxed this color is the best IMO.
Congrats on the new truck!
