Default Bought new blue ecoboost

First truck I am going to be driving regularly since driving my dads 04 6.0 f350 8' crew dually (put 80k miles on that myself, 180 total). Bought the truck for my new job I will be starting 2 weeks from now.

Bought a blue supercab eco. Love it so far, am impressed by how quiet and powerful it is. I am surprised by the lack of turbolag, and it takes off like a rocket. Also has a great ride for going on long trips. I am averaging 19mpg for the first 100 miles, and that includes a trip to the beach, and a few fun redlights. Also surprised by how big the back seat is. Also love the graph mpg screen, it slows me down when driving.

Truck has 4by4, 3.55 rear, tow, convenience package. Got over 8k off sticker and got them to throw in trailer mirrors that should be in this week.

Just finished clay baring, and putting 2 coats of zaino.

Thanks it does look nice. I have a bed mat coming from amazon. It should be here Wednesday. Need to buy a bed cover, probbably going to get one of those trifold covers everyone seems to love. I can't wait for the big mirrors. I hate the little ones.

I got the big mirrors, and I like em, but I wish they power fold/telescope like my bud's F250. I have to jump out and fold em to get it in the garage! No problem for you, looks like yours will fit.

I folded mirrors for years. Gets old. My f150 has power folding mirrors. While it is not a big deal I know, I love the feature. One of the many things I love about this truck.

I am unsure which tow mirrors are coming for my truck. I just said I wanted the ones that come with the maw tow. sadly my truck won't fit in the garage till I build a shed.

I was surprised to see a two-tone Xlt sitting on the lot. wasn't sure about it at first but now I really like, especially since it will be easier to keep clean since all the dirt shouldn't make it to the blue paint.
