Default New to Ford

I've just ordered my first Ford F 150 and should pick it up from the dealer at the end of Feb! I went with the 2013 XLT Super Crew, 5.0 V8 with the off road package. I test drove that and the eco boost and loved them both. I couldn't get over how awesome the V8 sounded and it had plenty of power for what I need plus great mileage. I'm trading in my 6.7 Cummins that is full of problems and expensive as ever to run/maintain. I'm sure I made an awesome choice!

I think you'll enjoy the difference. Good luck with the wait and the new truck when you get it and remember without pictures it didn't happen.

Ouch mine is the 5-speed but tons of fun. I would highly recommend putting an exhaust on it. Its a night and day difference. Even with the v6 its pretty deep.

Yup! I love it except for driving during rush hour in tallahassee with all the stop and go. At least you guys are getting a new truck! I am trying to upload some of the pictures of my truck. It has a really long shifter in it.
