Default New Platinum - New to Community

Just wanted to say hello and officially join the community. I've been meaning to post since I bought my new truck back in April. Just getting around to it. I have been lurking on this forum literally for years deciding on my next vehicle. What a GREAT community this forum is! So, with my X-Plan, incentives and a surprising trade allowance, here I am.

I had initially been looking at a Lariat, but after loading it up, it was very close to what I really wanted, the Platinum. So, I bit the bullet and brought her home. I am extremely happy with that decision!

Wanted to include the required pics! I also included a wallpaper I made for MFT. It looks great. Give it a try.

Welcome to the forum. The trucks a beauty. Like you I was looking to buy a Lariat, and realized the same thing. For just a little more I could get the Platinum. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Forum! Unlike you I purchased a Lariat in 2011....then fixed that last week and got a 2013 Platinum. The forum is full of helpful and valuable information. I was able to "qualify" for X-plan also because of the info gleened from this forum. MSRP on my Platinum was $55075 and out the door price was 47300.

Hi, LyteFly -

Welcome to the forum! Although I've participated in other message boards for the last couple years, I'm pretty new here too.

I'm part of the In-Vehicle Technology Team; I can help with any SYNC, MyFord Touch, or navigation-related questions.

Congrats on the new truck.

Jaclyn

Welcome brother! Love those white Platinums. I ended up w my first choice of grey but came real close to picking a white one out the crowd. These trucks are awesome, hope you continue to cherish the bad boy.

Thanks for the shout-outs everyone! Didn't realize I had such a special configuration. I simply don't need 4WD and chose to forego it on this one. I'm a street warrior . Love the truck so far!

Very nice truck! I love the Platinums. If we could get an FX4 exterior with the Platinum interior it'd be my truck!
