Picked it up about two weeks ago. 2013 F150 Supercrew FX2 with the 5.0 and MyFord with Sync. Ingot Silver with the black/silver interior. Already kicked in the AdvanceTrac a few times. :whiste:

Pics!

Center stack. Sync by Microsoft, actually works quite well and I like it. Bluetooth, hands-free, audio and voice commands.

The heart of the beast: The 5.0 302CID Coyote engine 360hp, 380ft-lb tq

Don't mind the dust. Everything's dusty in West Texas.

Nice truck, great that the FX comes with towing package. Not a fan of the darkened headlights though.

Man, they're not lying when they say that everything is bigger in Texas, especially the picture size. They're freaking HUGE! :p

I probably should have put a pic warning. They're unmolested pics straight off the sd card from my Canon T3.

Yuriman I like the black edged head and taillights. It gives just enough contrast with the body color to set it apart. I saw an Ingot Silver XL the other day and it didn't look as nice without the black around the lights.

Nice truck. I have a Tuxedo Black 2014 F150 XLT Ecoboost w/Max Tow & 6.5' bed. Love how she's pulling my trailer! If my local dealer had a Ingot Silver w/Max Tow I would've gotten that instead! I like the blacked out head lights personally.

Nice to see another Ford on the road. Nice truck. :thumbsup:

Long hold that traction control button to fix your AdvanceTrac issues. :biggrin:

If you haven't already, there should be two fuses you need to put in the box to charge your battery while towing the trailer (if you do). I can't remember which ones they are, but mine came in a bag in the glove box.

I really wanted the Ecoboost engine, but unfortunately my old truck ceased and I couldn't wait for the new one to be built. Ended up with the 5L, which I'm actually happy with.

It's annoying that 4 door short bed trucks are all the dealers order anymore.

Hah all of the south coming out of the woodwork in this thread. Now lets see yall's pics with 2x4s, hay bails, drywall and gravel in those truck beds; or at least hauling 6K lbs worth of tandem trailer. All hat, no cattle...

Would pics of a 13 speed Mack pulling 80000lbs work for you?

Nice looking truck. No the 5.0 isn't the powerhouse of the lineup, but I believe in the long run it will prove to be the most reliable of the motors, and for an every day use truck, I don't think you could have chosen a better power plant. The 5.0 will easily break those tires lose :).

Love the supercrew too.

That is why I had to order mine so I could get the 6.5

Lulz. :biggrin:

My boss just bought an F150. Typical white collar dude, single, no kids, no reason at all to own a truck really. It will never go off-road and it will rarely be used to haul anything other than his dogs. What it will do mostly is carry him in his diesel jeans and pressed shirts to and from work every day. This is your typical truck buyer these days.

It is a nice shiny new metal box.

Here's a pic of mine:



And here she is hooked up to my trailer while loading for out first trip:


I plan on doing some work to a portion of our front yard that'll require rock and dirt, but I want to get the bed lined before doing heavy duty stuff.
