New F150 Owner

Hey Guys,

Just picked up a 96 F150 XLT, 171xxx miles but seems to run alright. Never been a truck guy, always been a car guy, but these days my life seems to call for a truck.

I have no interest in turning this truck into anything other than a bone stock truck, I've been down the aftermarket road and lost big every time..... but still had a lot of fun in the process .

Anyway, drove the truck about 150 miles back home from where I bought it, got about 15.5 mpg (70-75 mph hwy) so the engine seems to be in decent shape. It just has a check engine light and the wipers don't work at all.

So... I look forward to checking out some rides here on the forums and getting mine in order too
