Default Howdy!

Hi all,

Last night, wife and I picked up our new 2018 f150 platinum 5.0, 4x4 with the fx4 package. So far loving it, but still coming up to speed on all the creature features. One nit I have so far is the auto-highbeam feature is a little too aggressive and has trouble in fog. Here in Oregon our days this time of year start pretty foggy and clear up once the sun comes up. Anyway, this forum was a huge resource for us when we started looking at the f150 months back.

*edit* Forgot to mention... 3.73, twin moon roof, 36 gal tank

Thanks folks. Loving this truck so far. When it hooks up, it’s amazing for so heavy, amazingly agile. Having driven the 3.5, which hooks up sooner, I like the more linear curve and I guess I’m old. Anyway, not looking to mod much but getting tonneau cover and possibly bed divider panels (not sure what’s out there). Reliability, utility, performance and comfort are my goals and this truck is pretty close to perfecting that with some minor adds.
