I just have to say...
how much I LOVE my 2012 F150 Lariat SCREW. I've missed having a truck for the last 5 years and I can't tell you in the 2 weeks that I've had the new ride how helpful it's been. The first weekend with the truck home not even 1 full day, the water heater started leaking. Yanked it out, threw it in the truck, took it to Lowe's picked up the free warranty replacement and installed the new heater. Hauled a rather large spare TV (older units) to my mom's last week with no effort, and today had the family on a big Costco run. It was soooo nice to be able to have everyone along, throw the marine cooler full fo cold stuff in the bed along with large boxes, 400pounds of salt and watch the ECOBOOST climb South Mountain and Braddock Mountain on the way home in 6th gear, never a blurp or downshift. What a sweet ride. Sorry, just had to get that out there.

Glad you are liking your new truck. I have had mine for two weeks also. Mine is a Race Red SCREW Lariat.

Awesome! I hope you enjoy yours as thoroughly as I've been enjoying mine. Tomorrow will start the first long trip of about 500 miles...anxious to see how it performs.

Glad you are enjoying that great ride. I have my 2012 SCREW Plat for 2 weeks now and look for every excuse I can just to drive it. It replaced a Dakota SCREW and although I loved that Dakota the F-150 is just amazing. Helped my local Church by volunteering to do pickup and delivery of furniture. Tailgate step has to be the best invention for trucks in years!!!!
