Default Picked up a 2016

So this is my third new F150, 4th in all. (still have the first) I was looking for a Special Edition XLT, but we couldn't find any with the options I wanted. So they made me a pretty decent deal on a Lariet. Its grey, with the max tow, 3.5 ECO, 3.55 gears Navigation (didn't really want that) and the 20 inch wheel option, and locking rear diff. So far I am really happy with it, the ride is nice handles well and the power is pretty impressive. I had a 2013 5.0. Even thought I have had it a few weeks now, I am still finding new tricks with it. Now to start making it mine.

I kinda wanted a 4x4, but I dont trust myself not to get into some mud with it. but yours is looking pretty good. I forgot to mention I did get the sport appearance package. my last two had chrome packages, and frankly I got tired of cleaning it.

Congrats on the new truck.

So far not much planned. Just the mirror spotlight bypass I found on here. and If there was an exhaust that made the 3.5 sound good I would get it. but I haven't found one I like yet. Tonneau cover, not sure which yet but not a bakflip. I am also considering wheel spacers and smoking the headlights and tail lights, not with paint.

looks great just the way it is. I don't like the smoking, spacers, etc.. but I know everyone has different tastes.

I am not a huge fan of spacers either, but I don't like the tucked in look the tires have with the little fender flares. If I change the headlights or taillights, it wont be a whole lot, I would be going for a look similar to the special edition.

I'd remove the ecoboost badge, would look much slicker down the side. Any badges on the tailgate besides the Ford and F150, I'd remove them aswell.

Front and rear painted bumpers will blend in really nice.
