I love the fuel economy, the power, and the comfort of my truck and look forward to driving it every day, ESPECIALLY if it's SNOWING 
! Yea, I've had a couple of little issues in its first 6K miles but nothing I'd consider a deal breaker.

I find that the short bed fills up far too quickly.

I'm going to keep the stripes for now, but I'll be deleting the Sport stickers. I'm still debating leaving the stripe as-is, having my decal guy cover up the silver with black and just have black & red, or deleting completely.

There's a member here that has a black SE as well and he "deleted" the silver stripe with a black one and it looks very sharp!
Personally I like the 3 colors against my LF and the silver has a bit of reflective to it that I find cool at night. It gives me a feeling of easiness of having some visibility when it's parked in a dark area and other drivers are passing by.
The SE interior makes me have many cumpliments from strangers and friends alike. And I love the look of the seats too. Just wish the driver's could be as comfortable as the '13 cloth seats where.

Glad that your 150 is back, up to your standards!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
A couple days ago I had to park on top of a huge bank of snow that some "friendly" citizen probably built to deter people from parking in front of his house (common douchebag sense here) and I just backed up on it and left the truck at a 6° angle to the right side. No space taken from the road way.
It was already a victory feeling, when this lady walking her dog, that had seen the swift one time maneuvering, passed by me, stretched her thumb up and said "nicely done, I wish I could have that truck"

Yeah, I load so much stuff on the bed that I can never have a 5.5 box.

I might be single case, but don't like at all any of the 3 upper trims. Don't like the colour choices inside nor the chrome or aluminum on them, especially the tailgate. Some have darkened the molding and it looks super good.
I like to see chrome on an XLT, because the mirror caps are not chromed! I had one and loved it.
When I say I don't like, I don't mean I totally dislike, but it just isn't for me. Wouldn't buy it and wouldn't want it given. Would trade it right away. Same applies to the raptor! I can't drive a vehicle I don't like in some way.

When that Drift compensation works, it works GREAT! Today west winds of 45 steady to 62 gusting were really making driving a pleasure(not). There were whitecaps on the farm fields. My steering wheel was canted about 10* to the right to compensate, and required no pressure from me to drive straight. When I turned heading East with the wind behind me, the wheel was back in it's normal position. I also noticed none of the quick pull when the wind let up as I did in older vehicles. Works really well in this truck, but acted like my truck did toady when there is NO wind in my last truck, and all those who have the same issues, I know what they are going through. This truck Perfect!
Looks like I drove through a corn field though, with the rain and melt yesterday a field flowed onto a road and I didn't see it until too late and drenched the truck in icy grass and corn plant laden water. There is even gunk hanging off my frame.

Nothing that come to mind at the moment. Funny My wife and I find the truck un-comfortable esp in long trips. My last 05 and 14 F150's where alot better to ride in.

It's snowing happiness!
It's snowing pretty good here today and I purposely scheduled several errands to keep on the roads!
Needless to say I'm having fun like a mad sugar addict in a candy factory!
