Digging the 20’s and the meatier tires. Love the interior space (my boy doesn’t quit growing - 9 years old and in a size 7 shoe).

I did snag my husky liner floor mats out of the front, my 6’7” bed mat (which actually fits very well in the 5’7” bed and protects the front of the bed) and have a new tonneau on order already.

This one also has the 2.7 and center console, bigger screen for car play (mainly just use the maps app), 36 gal fuel, hitch, but is missing a few creature comforts like remote start and heated seats.
I've had remote start on my last 3 vehicles and have to this day never used it.
Of course I'm in a warm climate and not in a place like Alaska where it might be a 'must' have

Thanks all.

Yeah I did use it in the winter...although I see kits on Amazon for like $119 with 4.8 / 5 stars and plenty of good reviews where people have added it. The one that I was reading, no extra key fob, just simply "Lock, Unlock, Lock" on your factory fob, and it starts. People were saying 5-15 minute "plug and play" install too. Although, adding that is like last on my list, honestly.

Nice! I like the look of the STX, especially the grille. I got the SE grille on my XLT and love it.

Thanks.

Ordered some Barricade HD rocker steps. They seem lower profile than some of the others. I’ll update after next weekend when I’ll have time to install them.

PS - what is this ‘SE’ that people are referring to?

I have one that was almost plug and play (it was a cheaper one that needed two splices and I am cheap lol). They work really slick for the price.

I installed those steps today. VERY sturdy.

They are Barricade HD Rocker Steps for 2015-2019 f150. Different part numbers for supercab and crew cab.

They can be installed solo (just use your foot to lift the far end). But a helper is nice to line the far holes up. Takes about 24 minutes with an impact driver (of some type - air or battery - recommend 3/8 or go light with the 1/2 inch as the torque spec was around 25 if I remember correctly) or maybe 44 minutes without an impact driver - that includes unboxing.

They're kind of ‘lower profile’ than stock but the step itself seems wider than stock (as seen in the third photo below).

The coating is the factory powder coat finish.

How do you like these after having them for a couple months +\-? I am considering these but barricade doesn’t offer warranties from what I can find on AT website. Have you seen rust or any defects? I was considering going with the GoRhino D6 Dominators or these you have.
