Default New from Florida Panhandle

Hi all, not only new here but this 2013 F150 Lariat 4x4. 5.0 v8. 6 inch Rough Country lift. 37x12.50 Falken tires on 20x10 Vision wheels... Interestingly this is my first truck. 30+ years ago I bought a Porsche and my girlfriend at the time said, "Why did you buy a Porsche, for the money you spent you could have bought a kick *** Ford truck and enough money left over to fill the tank and change the oil the next 5 years". Well, I laughed at her then and joked about it for over 30 years until I recently drove one and bought it! I never knew what I was missing! I've owned so many cars, SUV's, rode motorcycles my whole life (still have a Harley) but never owned a truck till now as I had no idea it blows them all away. Any tips until I get my feet wet or boots dirtygive me a shout. Only question I do have is this additional (oil filter catcher) located at the top front left side under the hood? Was told it has something to do with a known flaw on this model and that was the fix?

Nice!! Yeah once you get a Truck you won't look back. I even got bored of my Procharged mint 5.0 Mustang with 13K miles and sold her. If you catcher is an oil/water seperator ensure you keep an eye on the level and keep it clean. There work great but require upkeep. Where in the Panhandle?

So you got me curious about my antenna and found out it's this;
RONIN FACTORY Bullet Antenna RONIN FACTORY Bullet Antenna
pretty darn cool if you ask me. I had no idea it was aftermarket until you made the comment. Thanks!
