Hey guys, just bought my new(ish) truck. My old '05 F150 was getting to the point where it either had to go or I'd have to stick a lot more money into it than what it was worth to me, so I decided to trade it in on something that I have wanted since it came out in 2009.
Fully loaded with Nav/Sync/Moonroof/Power and Remote Everything, my new baby definitely carries a lot more features than I need and I love every second of it. Though I love this pickup, I do kind of feel like that athletic college girl making a run in some booty shorts, so many dudes stare and drool when I drive by, lol. I just stole the picture the Dealership had of it for their website listing since I can't seem to get my phone to connect to our computer at the moment.
Most people say they get 11-13. I pull 14.5-15.5 with regular driving. If I was screwing around off-roading on the weekends it'll drop down to mid or upper 13's.
Nice truck I love the color same as my 2013 XLT Screw Ecoboost 4x4! Where you at in Iowa I am just north of Ankeny.
Ankeny is neighboring Des Moines if I remember, correctly. I'm on the opposite side of Cedar Rapids, small farm town halfway between Cedar Rapids and Dubuque. It's about 40 minutes to the Wisconsin and Illinois border from my place.
How you liking that 3.5? I got to drive a few when I was a Ford Technician at a dealership, but never while it was loaded or over rough terrain. Sounds like their going to be doing a lot of twin turbo's now with the Raptor and GT releasing that powertrain lineup

I like the 3.5 I had a 2011 XLT 4x4 with the 5.0 and enjoyed that truck too it did all I needed it to do just do some light towing and hauling some firewood etc. but I do like the extra power and speed of the Ecoboost just does not sound as good. Yes I am about 30 minutes north of Des Moines out in the coutry. Welcome to the forum.
