I will stick with Ford Credit for a little while, I practically stole the truck from them I think so I'm ok with paying a little higher rate for a few months. Will eventually buy out with another company.

[MENTION=135030]jedeckert1984[/MENTION] and goneFXcrazy

Try Navy Federal Credit Union and SC Federal Credit Union. I got my truck Nov 2012 and got just a tad under 2% rate from Navy Fed. We have also used SC Fed for vehicles and got anywhere from 2 - 3% depending on what we purchased and when.

For those of you that don't know, my name for my truck is "The Red Bull"

Red because, well it's red. And the Bull because a well tuned EcoBoost intake sniffs and snorts like a bull about to charge.

So there you go. The Red Bull. Hope it gives me wings...

Good boy. We went biking the beginning of the week and I was finding it a little difficult to get the bikes on and off. The stock FX4 rear is 4 inches taller than my 2inch dropped FX2. So easy fix, drop shackle. Haven't decided yet 1 or 2 inches in the back. On Monday they are gonna do it, and we'll try 1 inch first, and if I feel it needs to go lower I will.

There will be no lift on on this truck. Just gonna drop it 1-2 inches in the rear. I'll get some bilsteins for the front and back to round out the height if it decide 1-inch drop.
