Default Newbie from SC

I'm new here from SC. As my username suggests, I am prior military. I spent about 5 1/2 years Active Duty Air Force, and deployed with Army Special Ops prior to receiving a medical discharge. I am currently rated totally and permanently disabled by the VA, primarily for service connected PTSD & Major Depression. I am also waiting for a decision on my SSDI benefits. My lawyer is very confident that after 3 years, I will finally start getting these benefits soon. This will allow me to buy a second vehicle, which brings me here. My wife and I have landed on an F150 Super Crew 4x4 and I'm leaning more toward the Ecoboost over the 5.0 right now. It will be used for daily driving and occasional light towing, with a little off road fun thrown in as well.

Thank you and you're welcome. Even knowing what I know now, if I could go back in time, I would do it all again.

I've already done tons of research, and as long as funds and the wife allow, I plan to add a full race cat back exhaust and I want to upgrade the intake, but haven't yet decided which one. Also considering at least a level kit so I can increase tire size, but that is a lower priority and may be a little bit of a wait.
