First F-150, 18 Screw XLT 302A FX4 3.5 EB

man, that’s a lot of Mumbo jumbo! I’ve had trucks when I was younger, and a beater F100 as a truck for chores around the house, but this is my first nice truck. I’ve had cars for the last 10 years or so but being in construction, decided to get a truck mainly for appearances sake, but it has come in handy multiple times so probably was a good move.

Ive got 7000 miles on her and am averaging 18.4mpg. Not sure if that is good or not yet.

I got the leveling done at Les Schwab for $360 and got the tonneau cover, a Bak revolver X2 from Garage Auto Accessories for $800. It is an aluminum roll up, install was easy and it’s been doing the job. Although seems ridiculously easy to break into.

Next step is BFG KO2’s unless someone has a better alternative. Vast majority of my miles will be highway, but I do go to the snow a fair amount and basic off-roading. I hear great things about the tires but also hear that the road noise can get atrocious.

Anyway, cheers and thanks for letting me in!
