the 3.7L is a great motor no need to feel like it's lowlier than anything else! Congrats on the new truck - I would recommend a spray on bedliner because it increases the value of the truck while protecting your bed (even if you only occasionally haul, the first time you put something in the bed it's going to scratch it!)

I have a few questions.
Should I do a spray liner in the bed, don't plan to use it for hauling much?
What are the holes on the inside of the bed, 3 sets each side, they look like they are meant to mount something.
Will do oil change asap to my favorite Synthetic.
The interior cabin light is weak.
Stereo will need some beefing up.
Any preferred leather seat covers?
Got it for 27k OTD, prob could have done better but hey its a Ford, the last non government owned car maker in America.
