First off, thanks to all the folks who post on this board for giving me a TON of helpful info. Couldn't have done it without y'all. Gave me a lot of confidence, even though it turned out I wasn't the only girl (OK, ol' girl:~)) there buying truck a truck that day....

My new baby is just what I wanted---took a bit of looking, but I couldn't have managed a better match if I'd ordered the little cutie: F-150 XLT extended cab, 4.6 V8 automatic, limited slip with 3.55 axle, oxford white for the broiling So Cal summers, and some towing stuff I may never use but is there just in case.... and, thanks to you folks, I have a mind FULL of future mods;~) I may even have to come up with a signature....

Got a great deal, too. I'll post a tad more info under in the Dealers Forum.

It was pouring rain when I picked the truck up yesterday, and seeing as how it's my first truck I was a little worried about the difference in handling and having to drive home through the bad rain and awful traffic---but the truck handled like a dream. All I want to do now is drive around, and think about mods: anti-sway bars... brush guard.... Snugtop cap.... this filter? That filter? I LOVE MY TRUCK!!!!!

Thanks again for ALL your help~

Good Pups

 

Good luck with your new pickup. You will enjoy it more as the miles go by.

 

Congratulations on your truck! I'm glad you love it as much as the rest of us love ours. Good idea getting white for the heat. I didn't pick it but I have black & with all the snow we get it helps my truck to stand out when the snow is falling. And falling. AND FALLING!
Stop by chat some nite - we're there every nite around 9PM EST. From 1 ol' girl to another it would be nice to have company there - the guys are great but sometimes I feel outnumbered. Actually I AM outnumbered every nite! Come help me out! Besides, the guys have done nearly every mod there is & they can give you advice & comments.
Take care - hope to chat with you soon! Bye!
