My New SCrew
Hello, everyone. After lurking here for the past few months, posting occasionally, and soaking up tons and tons of useful information, I have finally joined the club! I traded in my '03 SportTrac and picked up a CPO '05 SCrew FX4 Saturday morning, and I freakin' love it!
(sorry about the lighting in the pic -- afternoon Jersey sun).
It's really clean inside and out, it's a super-smooth ride, and my 7-year-old son loves how much room he now has in the back. What could be better? The first thing I did was hook up my Sirius Sportster antenna so I could listen to Rutgers kick Ball State's .... but I still have the wires just laying on the console. I'm thinking of replacing the aux tray on the top with an '07 for the line-level input and installing up there. I'm going to check out some of the other installs here.
I really want to thank Bob and the folks up at Village Ford of Pine Bush, NY, for putting up with me the past few months while I was looking for the right truck. I also want to thank all of you folks here on the board, because you provided me with a ton of information before I bought.
Cheers!

Nice ride! I'm a sucker for the FX4's (probably why I've owned so many of them).
The wife's Sport Trac is a bit too cramped for my taste. There's nothing like stretching out in the driver's seat of an F-150. Lots of room.

I'm really excited and I cannot wait to get going on this one. One thing I know I'm going to do is replace the speakers. I had the Premium Audio in the SportTrac, with the sub, and the sound was tons better than the Premium in the F150. It just lacks any sort of punch.

I had two 10's in my '99 F150 that were running 1,000 watts each and while the factory system is no comparison in loudness to them, there's no way I'm spending ~$400 or up to have an aftermarket system. I constantly have people in my truck that don't believe it's factory until they see the box/harness under the back seat.
Congrats on the new truck too, btw! Great color!

I really like the factory look and I'd love to upgrade to the Audiophile setup, but I'm concerned once I add the sub, speakers and new HU it could turn into a more expensive project than an aftermarket HU with decent speakers (no sub).
