Default New Guy with a 2010

I have been lurking on this site for about 6 months. I have learned alot from you guys, so I thought I would join. My truck is a 2010 Screw XLT with the 4.6 3V. It came with the towing package and the 3.55 LS rear.

The only mods I have are front and rear weathertech liners, toolbox, tint, spray in, and a factory trailer brake control that I installed with the help of this site and Josh at Tasca(great guy, put up with all my ?'s). I also have new mirror caps I need to paint body color before installing.

I love this truck, it gets the same mpg as my old 98 reg cab with the 4.2, but with a whole lot more power and room.

Now for the pics:

Yeah the first time I saw Blue Flame on a F150 it was love at first sight! I love how I can spot my big blue truck in parking lots.

Looks good, that blue is probably my second favorite for 2010. Is that toolbox from Tractor Supply? Do you happen to know a part number, I've been looking for a black, lowish profile box for a while, but they're not too common.

Yeah, that is a good color!
Don't know about those Michelins, though.

Get out of here! I didn't know you could do that on an XLT. What's the part number of the paintable mirror caps?

Yes, the tool box is from Tractor Supply. Yeah I didn't want the box to be seen, but I wanted full use of the bed floor. This box was my compromise. I put it on my 98 in 2005. I'm not sure where the part # is located. Any ideas?

Courier, I have had nothing but good luck with Michelins. Besides the factory size, what don't you like about them?

I bought the same black textured ones that came on the truck under the suggestion of Josh at Tasca. The black ones are about $10 a peice versus $45 to 50 for the paintable ones. Both can be painted, just more prep time for the black textured ones. I don't know the part #'s for the paintable ones. The black ones are:
9L32-17D742-AA
9L32-17D743-AA
Call Josh at Tasca, he is a great help.
