Hardly slept last night.... The tonneau, mud flaps, and a few other things are coming right off my '10 and going on my new baby....

The best part is I got my fiance loving the idea of Turbo's.... Her question, "Can I get an EcoBoost after we get married?"

So there may be an Edge, Taurus, or Explorer in the future! (Don't think she'll go for an FX2 Screw EB, but I could try).

We had a 2011 V6 Explorer for about 5k mile and that thing was comfortable! Small mirrors and bad blind spots but it was really nice.

Are you planning on a level or lift on the F150 when you get it. I love the way the 6.5' bed looks with a little more height and some bigger tires.

Not right away as I drive it a lot... But if I hang on to it long term it'll get a lift and bigger tires and a bunch of goodies..... 6" and 35's at least..... I LOVE the look of your truck!

I bought a Polaris 550 XP Sportsman to beat on and wheel so the truck will start out as more of a pavement pounder.

You scallywag! That's awesome. Does your girlfriend have a girlfriend? The all new Escapes are also nice.

^ well, your statement holds VERY true for at least another year. Ford blew Chevy, GMC and Ram out of the water in JD three year survey that just came out.

p.s. if you really like the sound of the turbo's I suggest getting a Airaid CAI. My truck sounds just like a diesel now. The incab and especially the outside turbo hiss is very noticeable after the install. The only bad part is you'll be rolling into the throttle a little deeper just to hear the sweet music. I'm not getting any exhaust mods. I don't really care for the froggy sound they all have.

Does that affect the warranty at all???? I am real cautious when it comes to jacking with this new one....

A little less than 3 hrs and I'll have my new rig!

I'm sure they could blame something on it, but the good part is that I can change back to stock in under 10 min now that I know what to do. First install only took 20 min because of being careful and building the upper housing. I have my stock filter and lid in a sealed box just in case of warranty issues.

I did!!!!! No decent pics yet tho . Just finished detailing her for the weekend. It has 125 miles on the clock (90 were from the dealer transfer, 20 from test drives, and 15 from me!). This truck is incredible.....I will get some good shots on Sunday when I get back from Evansville. Windows getting tinted on Saturday and I'll order the stubby antenna tomorrow! I love the solid Dark Blue Pearl.... Guess I'll be changing my sig shortly....
