I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Javier and I own a 2017 F150 XLT. I'm looking to have fun with it! Any Central Florida peeps in here?

Welcome to the forum. Tell us more about your truck and post some pictures if you get a chance.

Thanks stvbrtls!
It's a totally stock 2017 F150 XLT V8 5.0 Magnetic Metallic. I bought it 1 month ago with 15k miles.
So far I've added / modified:

• AUTO-VOX M1W Wireless Backup Camera (not too thrilled about it)
• iBoard Running / step-up boards
• Traxion tailgate ladder
• Tyger Auto Bed Cover
• 15" antenna
• Tailgate assist shock
• Husky floor liner mats
• Builtrite rear seat release

Today I ordered a Raptor Steering Wheel. I need to find someone who can create the wiring that allows the paddle shifter to function. I'm excited about it!

I'm open to ideas and suggestions. Anyway, I just took some pics for the forum. Here they are:

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!
I've got some questions (about 1,237) I'd love some advice on. This truck is my daily driver, and hopefully soon, my travel the USA vehicle.
Reminder: I've got a V8 5.0 2017 XLT Super Crew, stock. No engine mods... yet!

I'll start simple and basic:
1) fuel – regular -or premium unleaded?
2) motor oil – conventional, synthetic blend -or- full synthetic (I usually go to Valvoline)

I look forward to all of your wise counsel and great ideas!

Welcome to the F-150 forum! Glad to have you join us.

Have any fun performance modifications planned for the truck?

the 5.0 runs on regular old 87 octane, ford dealers use motorcraft synthetic blend.

SCrewYou: The tech I know at Valvoline said the same thing regarding the Synthetic Blend... but I trust y'all more! Fellow F150-ers unite!!!
Thanks!
