New Owner!!!!

Well I am absolutely stoked! I just bought my first financed truck. It's a 2007 F150 FX4 Screw with black leather, audiophile, power rear slider, climate control, steering wheel controls, 20's, Line-X. I think it is a Luxury Package. At 20 I feel very accomplished. 4.9% interest rate to boot! I pick her up tomorrow so I will have full pictures of it, interior and with my big truck too! I can't stop running around like a 8yr old at Christmas. Oh it has 56k miles and bumper to bumper warranty till July 2013 or 100k along with 5 year road side assistance.

Nice looking truck! Except for those chrome handles and mirror caps. PTM handles and skull caps would look so much better.

That is the plan! I'm so excited I forgot to put everything in the first post. Along with vent visors.

My thoughts exactly. If it's an FX4 luxury (seems it is judging by the grille and headlights) PTM handles and skull caps are hiding under all that chrome.

Looks great, Curtis!! I take it you're going to have a hard time sleeping tonight. That's a much nicer daily driver than a purple Saturn. Little more 'spensive, but much nicer. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics tomorrow

Nice! Get rid of the chrome stuff, bug shield and pin stripe and it'll look even better.

Other than my 6.5' flareside bed, our trucks are identical.

Well day 1, well half day, of driving and I'm so stoked still. It's crazy how easy it is to speed in this thing. In my other truck you know when you're going fast, this thing you just float. It is so quiet and smooth I love it. I'm going to lose the mirror caps and the door handle trim, but I'm going to try leaving just the handle chrome like LT handles. The bug shield I'm debatable on. Oh and did I mention the Audiophile system is freaking amazing? Oh and the auto dim mirrors and key pad on the door. I never thought I'd own a truck like this. It's crazy how excited I get over the little things like the turn signals in the mirrors.

One happy 20 year old with an awesome salesman. Tim helped me out a great deal.

Very nice. Sounds like a similar story as me Got my '06 at the age of 20, 23.5 now and I still love this truck. If I had held out a bit longer, maybe I could have gotten one with a super cab, but at the time I bought, it was between a new truck that sat on the lot or a 2 year old truck with 60K miles. I obviously opted for the new truck...

Anyways, looks like a great truck! Take good care of it and mod the heck out of it.

Congrats!!!! 20 year olds do it big. Here's my first ride (that I paid for, also at 20) even though it's my second one in a year.

I couldn't sell the other turd. Too bad it isn't clean like the new one for these pictures but oll well. So far I can't stop smiling after 140 miles in it. Can't wait to get the chrome off.
