I was surprised as well.. I just happened to pass by the dealership here and saw it through the window and had to check it out. thought it was used to begin with.
I think it was still there because Ford here ordered it as it sits with the lift, wheels, tires and the 6.2 and some other goodies and upgrades. The only thing I've done is have the tint done. I was told that they ordered several to the same spec and had most pre-sold. unfortunately they didnt arrive here until after they started recieving the 15 models and most people dont want to by last years models. Worked out great for me though... got a great deal on her dealer knocked off 15k$ off the original sticker price....

That's a beautiful truck right there but my jaw is on the floor after imagining how quick that thing is.
I picked up a '13 F-150 Lariat with the Max Towing Pkg & Chrome Appearance Package with the 6.2L engine and I always wonder how quick she would be if I shed a little weight from the towing mirrors and the cab, you're living my shower thoughts haha.

Well I have done some more upgrades. LED interior and some exterior lights. Got a kit from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks great. Matches my DVD player that is mounted on the roof. That had led lights that are tied in with the dome lights. So now all 3 sets match!
Got BIL-09F1504WD 2009-2013 F150 4WD Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Leveling Shock Kit from Stage 3 motor sports. Got the rears installed, fronts go on tomorrow at the 1.5" setting.
My truck has 34k miles on it. Just after putting on the rear shocks it made a huge difference!! No more little active judder. My factory shocks were working as they were designed, and not worn out. Pulling in and out of my driveway with that little curb made a HUGE difference.
I have put Bilstein's on my last 3 trucks now and for those of you that have never had them, go get them now and put them on. That and the rear sway bar completely transform the trucks handling. Cant' wait to get the front on! The factory shocks / struts sure leave a lot to be desired. My truck rides smoother already with just the rears done, and so much more predictable!
Last thing I just had a Borla ProXS muffler welded on, and a new non clamp on chrome tip. I don't like that , So I had them weld on a nice chrome tip. Another amazon order and 120 bucks to have it welded on with the chrome tip, which was 80 bucks alone. Muffler was 90.

Borla 40359 is a 3" in and 3" out. Sound is amazing. Borla is just the best in my opinion. Zero drone, I left the resonator in. Sounds amazing. The 6.2 is so deep sounding. Sounds stock when I am cruising, which with 3 kids that is what I need. But it really makes it sound great. Love the Borla and the price all in is under 240 bucks, much better than the 900+ for the catback with the same muffler.
I'll update when i get the front lift from the Bil 5100's later tomorrow.

Plus I just have never found much usefulness in exhaust videos. Just too many variables from microphone quality and placement to the speakers you are playing them on.
I will tell you though for what I want the Borla muffler alone was it. No drone. That was the key for me, I don't like that, and there was no way my wife and kids would like that as well. The exhaust is deep and the sound is great. Borla is the exhaust that I have found and enjoy the most. I have had flowmaster, gibson, dynomax on various vehicles in the past, even glass packs and some other "turbo" mufflers. Borla fits my tastes the most!
I get the deep nice sound with no added drone during long highway runs and cruising around in town. But I get the nice rumble borla provides.
If you are waiting for the tuner, don't. Awesome mod! Also the rear sway bar and bil 5100 makes the truck handle the way it should.
Enjoy your 6.2! man I love this engine.

Love my 6.2. Didn't get it for fuel economy, obviously- but the 275/70's (33+"), leveling kit, and fab fours front replacement definitely decreased the aerodynamics, thus MPG. Thinking about an add a leaf or taller block in back to get back some of the front rake and maybe regain some of the aero flow and MPG. I'm sure I'll probably want to go up to 295/70's after that though.... Oh well!
Just put a matching rear bumper on and probably going with exhaust and shocks next. Raptor OEM exhaust or replacement muffler???
