New Owner! (no longer soon to be)
I'm picking up my first F-150 on Friday. It's the final countdown!
I've been researching and haggling with dealers for a few months, and stalking this forum the entire time. I found the truck I want at the price I want, the deposit is down, and they just sprayed in the bed liner today!
Thank you for the wealth of research information contained here, I hope I can add to it over time.
17 SCREW 5.5' box
XLT, 302A
Max Tow
FX4, Sport
Nav, Sync Connect
Tailgate Step
Magnetic
I've been reading a few threads on adding tow mirrors, and plan on ordering and adding them shortly after I pick it up and check to see if it has 8 or 22 pin connectors. It will serve as our daily driver, house project hauler, and Jeep tow vehicle. I'm really looking forward to driving a truck again daily!

Heading out to get it in a few hours! Bedliner sprayed in, they detailed it, and it's sitting in the showroom. Hopefully everything is as expected and a smooth fast purchase.

Truck acquired! Loving it so far. The 3.5 / 10 speed combo really surprised me. It has power to spare whenever I ask for it.
Now to start really researching XLT tow mirror mods, and either a Gentec mirror or other Homelink setup.
