Default New member ordering 2018

Just wanted to say hi to everyone and appreciate all the info I've found on here in the last couple weeks. I previously owned a 2011 Platinum that I regret getting rid of a couple years ago.

Placing my order in the next couple days, was talking with the dealer over the weekend. I qualify for x plan but going to try to negotiate a little better. Not much room to work with on the 2018 from what I understand.
  • 2018 F-150 Platinum
  • 4x4
  • 5.0L V8
  • 6.5' Long Box
  • 3.73
  • 701a
  • technology package
  • Twin Panel moon roof
  • all weather rubber floor mats
  • extended range 36 gallon gas tank
  • spray in bed liner
  • stowable loading ramps
  • Ruby Red Metallic
  • Dark Marsala interior
Still debating on the tow package and tow mirrors.

Planning to upgrade the exhaust and add a bed cover after I get it.

Welcome back to the F-150 family! Looks like you're going to get a solid package to start and adding the exhaust and tonneau will be great additions! What will you be using it for?

thanks

At first just daily driver and fun , then hauling for home improvement projects, followed by towing relatively small payloads in a couple years.

Nice ride! Doesn't the tow package comes with the 701 group? Unless you want max tow...

10 000lbs is more than enough IMO

Wow this forum is addictive. Continuing to read multiple times a day. Thanks for the posts, didn't see notifications of them (got lost in my email).

Pulled the trigger and placed my order about a month ago. Now just playing the waiting game. Cotus has had it sitting "In Production" with no date since the 13th. Current estimate is 22 days until delivery.

Pretty much ordered what I listed above. Got the factory spray in liner (mainly to avoid the extra appt for Line-X). Went without the loading ramps as I'm getting a used set for free. And got the towing package without the tow mirrors. The tow package is a different option (max tow is not available for my config)

First aftermarket item will be https://www.undercoverinfo.com/i-301...Cmodel%3DF-150

I had the regular one and was very happy with it.

Following that I will be getting the Borla ATAK exhaust - Christmas present

Congrats! Bet you're excited! On the floormats, have you looked at Husky X-Act? They're a bit more, but they sure look nice. Planning to order them for my soon-to-arrive '18 Lariat.

Can't wait, was built yesterday! Should have it in 2 to 3 weeks.

Haven't looked at the Husky matts. Had the Ford ones on my 2011 and was happy with them so figured I'd try them again. Had weather tech on another car and they were ok but i preferred the Ford ones.

Congrats on the Lariat! What color are you getting?
