Just bought a 2011 F150 5.0 XTR Super Cab. Has 3.73 gears, 9.75" rear end, off road package, big fuel tank, back up camera, remote start, and a lot of other good options. This isn't my first 5.0, having a 1992 F150 5.0 Super Cab back home on the farm, and a 1994 Mustang GT. When I got the pickup, I removed the Cloud Rider stainless girll insert, the chrome window visors, and the stainless gator mudflaps. All that was a tad over the top. If anyone wants em, they're still on craigslist lol. I work in Jackson, MN but am back to Central SD most weekends.

Before:



After so far:

It had somewhat higher miles than preferred, with 146k, but that helped lower the price point. Some of the quirks I've fixed so far are

HVAC fan resistor
Husky Liner X-act floor mats 53311
front license plate bracket (was broken)
Front Left "Ecoboost Plate Delete Cover" (for lack of a better term, it was broken)
Trailer Harness Receptical
Trailer Harness Pigtail
Ford SYNC Emblem (was pulled off by P/O)
Coolant Flush and Refill
Fresh Oil Change (Dash said 80% but was a quart low, no sticker in the windshield)
Air Filter
Wiper Blades
Blue Flame Custom Spray Paint (entertaining the idea of painting grill surround, and blacking out the chrome bars, FXR look)
Thinking about a blue flame paint matched bedliner on the rockers, to ditch the silver two tone
Aftermarket Lug Nuts (OEM Ford ones suck, already replaced the lug nuts on my 2010 Fusion after the chrome covers try to round themselves off)
OBDLink
Front Drivers Door Check Assembly
Inner/Outer Tie Rods (going to replace these next week, and get it aligned, tires are feathering, will balance and rotate them before the alignment)
New pigtails, connectors, leds, and license plate lamp housings

Still have some door rattle to diagnose

If not already install a device on the tailgate to prevent theft. They are real easy to remove.
Looks a lot like my truck. Mine has an 8ft bed and is an HDPP truck. What is the GVW on it? Sticker on the drivers door frame. Nevermind I see it has six lugs. Mine has 7 and different wheels.
Welcome to the board.
