I too went to the Blue Oval, I had a GMT900 and it just felt like a car, I now have the F150 Super Crew and love it. The Ford just has more of a truck feel and the interior room and style blows the Chevy/GMC away. We will see what the new platform brings I may be back. I do still have the Yukon XL and love that too

Mines kinda loud, has a Flowmaster 40 series, it's also bright red. Kind of a taller, wider version of that GMC

I agree about the Ford blowing away GM in the interior dept. I like the way Ford designed the new F150. I just wish Ford had a decent v8. The 5.0 is really not powerful enough for me. I need almost 500 (boltons, tune) N/A hp in a truck after coming from a c6 a few years ago.

Looks like a nice truck.

 

I sometimes wonder why I didn't buy a Ford, or a Dodge, or something else, but then I have always been a Chevy guy.

 

I did drive a New 1978 F-350 for a few years for work. It was a great truck. Had the 351 in it with a manual trans. That truck was Heavy Duty all the way. If I would have had the money back then, I would have bought one.

 

I am sure you will have lots of fun with it.

 

Drive Safe.

Not a Ford fan at all, but thats a great looking truck.

I do agree that Ford has GM on the interiors, if the new Gen isn't that impressive...I might a Ford or something else..

Thanks everyone! Have a guy building me a projector retrofit for my headlights and foglights.

One thing I like about the new fords is the headlight design, very unique

I like it on the half tons, but the 3/4 and 1 tons look like horseshi** IMO...

That's a nice truck. I test drove a couple F-150's just a few weeks ago. I felt the Chevy LT interior was superior to the Ford STX and XLT....at least more comfortable. Then, I found an all-black FX4 with the 5.0 and 3:73's that I really liked. The interior was great, and the 5.0 felt just as strong as my stock VMax. I just couldn't work out a deal. After telling me they had great rebates on the 2012's....they told me I could trade for just under $16k. Needless to say, I walked. Good luck with the new ride!

You guys can hate on it if it floats your boat, but the other day I bought a 2013 F150 FX4. This thing is fully loaded. Navigation, sun roof, ford my touch, Sony system, sync, navigation has a 10gb hard drive, cooled seats...... loaded. Has the 5.0 with 3.73. This thing is awesome. Smooth, powerful and quiet. I jumped on it because I was able to get it cheap! Recently became friends with a manager at a Ford dealer.

 

I don't plan on leaving the forum at all. The way I go through vehicles, in a year or two may be back in a GM.

 

Already threw a Magnaflow on, level, tint, 285 55 20 terra grapplers, and lockpick.

Truck looks good. Planet Ford in Spring or Humble?

 

We won't hate on it, but you'll be back. I only owned Fords from 1989 up until 2004. 2 Mustangs, 2 F-150s an Explorer and an Expedition, latter two being the wifee's vehicles. There's a reason I now drive GM only. Good luck with the truck and keep us posted.

Yea I test drove the Ford 6.2 and it was a beast but I couldn't justify the MPG's when I don't need a 6.2.

Gracias! It honestly feels just as strong as my 5.3 tuned, if not stronger. So far it's better fuel economy as well.

I bet I built those mirrors.. I used to build the 415, u222, and 386 style Ford mirrors the ones on your truck are 415, 222 is excursion and expedition 386 is Ford escape and other small suvs
