New member with NEW TRUCK!
Hey all,
Picked up a 2012 Dark Blue Metallic, XLT, Adobe Cloth, 4wd, 5.0 Screw with the 6.5' bed last Friday. With the 3.73 locker
Been a F150 guy since 04 when I bought a new FX4; was an amazing truck for 8 trouble free years but it was time to upgrade!
Love this new 5.0 motor! Unlike most, after driving both the Eco and 5.0, I fell in love with the 5.0! Drives and sounds much more like what a truck should. Other than the extremely flat torque curve of the Eco, I didn't notice much a power difference.
Anyway, looking forward to lifting this beauty and throwing on some wheels and tires soon.
Pictures coming tonight.......

Welcome! I'm a newbie too. I also got a 4x4 Dark Blue 2012 Screw XLT. love it. How did you get the adobe interior? Did you order it? My dealer said they don't build the inventory trucks that way. I thought it would have been a great combination.

Welcome! Sounds like a sweet truck, can't wait for pics! Glad you like the 5.0, I got the Eco and would be just as happy with the 5.0

I was looking for a Dark Blue SCrew 5.0 157" and just happen to come across the one I bought with the adobe interior. I had never even seen the adobe interior on any other 157" that I looked at, but fell in love with it as soon as I saw it! I think it should be more resistant to water stains that the steel gray struggles with. I'm thinking maybe it was a truck that was ordered, but the sale was never completed??
I lucked out! I will snap a couple pics of the interior as well.

Nice. You definately can't go wrong with the color. I wanted the blue flame, but got the dark blue and love it. The only problem is that there are lime 3 more in town and I almost got into someone else's at the store LOL. Good luck and enjoy it.
