Hey guys!
The lease on my old F-150 is up so I got a new (to me) 2017 F-150 STX from carmax. It’s a 4x4, has the 5.0 V8, with the 6 speed trans and has the 36 gallon tank. The prior owner leased it in 2017 from a dealer in Washington, on my birthday, and barely used it. Truck has only 23k miles and it still smells new. Literally, it still has the new car small and is super clean.
My prior F-150 had the 2.7 EB and a 10 speed trans which I think I will miss, the torque of the 2.7 paired with the 10 speed made for quite the little demon. Especially with traction control off and in sport mode...such an animal. I really did want to find another 10 speed but the low miles and condition of this New truck.... I couldn’t pass it up. It had 99% of what I wanted anyways.
I don’t plan on doing much to this truck for a while. Might get a shell at some point if I can find a good deal but will probably go with a Thule Bed rack. I’ll be needing to get some new tires soon so will get those when needed....might do a little lift to level it out.
Also on the agenda will be better tint and a sound system. The F-150 in my avatar had an amazing sound system and I miss slappin some bass so an upgrade will absolutely happen.
Everyone meet Walter White!
