New guy to Ford.

Just bought a 2012 F150 XLT Supercrew. And I love it. I've had 2 Silverado's and my last truck was a Tundra, I don't have any regrets.
She can't tow as much as the Tundra, i just found out, but I'm slowing working on getting more out of her.
I have read through a lot of different threads on this sight, and there are alot of guys/gals that really know their stuff.

It's white with the 5.0 V8 FFV. I just installed aftermarket manual-extend, w/ directional, puddle light, heat, and power adjust tow mirrors. Everything but the heat works, until I change out the climate control. I changed out the Firestone P265/70R17 113S M + S 31.6" tires with 4 new General Grabber 245/70R17 E 119/116S 30.5" tires. And I installed Hellwig rear EZ Helper 990 springs in the rear.
I tow a travel trailer camper that weighs empty, about 6,800 lbs.

Keep in mind that if the tires are not the stock tire height and PCM is not recalibrated, the mpg will be off. Will be curious how well the 5.0 toes that trailer.
