Hard to beleive its been 2 years!

2 years ago i bought the Eb. It was my first brand new truck. I remember being on the forum the day before looking at used 2010 and 2011 f150s and a couple fellers mentioned to check the price on new ones since they were heavily discounted. Went to the dealership and they were right. Picked up my new truck for around $1500 more than a 3 year old used truck.

I drove it alot the first 18 months and racked up Close to 45k miles. Thanks to the Cavalier i have been able to limit the miles and just now getting close to the 50k mark.

It has been a Tow rig, Race Car on the weekends at the drag strip, Daily Driver and alot of spirited driving in town and no problems what so ever except for a clunky slip yoke that finally got fixed.

Lifetime average of 17.4 mpg which includes quite a few 7k lb tows and a couple 9k tows. Have seen 22mpg pretty often on highway runs.

This is the first truck i have really done any mods to. So far I have 6 custom tunes, Led Conversion inside and out, Upgraded tires to Cooper 275/65/18s, PTM work, Seat Covers, Husky Mats, Harley Heads and Tails and probabaly some other stuff i have forgot. A few months ago I bought alot of go fast goodies but have decided to hold off on the install of those parts. She does more than enough the way it is now.

Here are some pics from the last 2 years.

The day it came home.

And how she looks now





























Figured i would throw in some videos of it showing its race car side also. Everything i have thrown at the truck it has performed exceptionally well.











There has been times when i thought about trading it off for a left over 14 and once on a new 15 but i just cant let her go, been a great truck and plan on keeping it for many years to come! Maybe i will make my next update when she rolls over 150k in another 4 or 5 years

Thanks! I like to do the small things that make it look clean and almost has the factory appearance with some small personal touches. Have got alot of compliments on the front end when out and about in town. Still sort of thinking about different wheels, but with the chrome on the truck now i think it looks pretty good with the oem's.

Love the painted front end Coy! Just a real sharp and subtly unique truck in general. What power will you be at with the go fast goodies? I remember you mentioning that quite some time ago.

somewhere around 450hp/530torque with the parts i have.. Several guys have dyno'd with the same stuff and they were all around that number. Then upgrade to the 58mm turbos and it bumps it up to around 480/600
