Introductions and Welcome Thread! 👋

Nice to see so many people still wanting the classic lines of a RCSB V8 truck!
I had to order it in January '25 and waited 4 months for delivery. Worth the wait. The Coyote is an awesome motor. I've driven it 5,000 miles so far and have not yet made upgrades yet. I'm still toying with the idea of:
#1 Removing the rear spacer blocks. (I'm not sold on a leveling kit yet)
#2 Installing a nice mellow cat back system to replace the factory single exhaust. (Still shopping for a system that isn't raspy sounding)
#3 Up-sizing the wheels and tires to maybe 20".
I've enjoyed the feedback on these issues. I've learned a lot from the other owners/members.
I still need convincing about the aforementioned upgrades before I crack the wallet and pull the trigger.
But, I'm retired so I think I deserve some long awaited play time with my new truck.

Brian here, from MN!
Just upgraded from a 2017 XLT sport package to a 2025 Lariat. Always the coyote! Liking the new truck except for the pro access tailgate. Deal was good enough I thought I could get used to the tailgate, but I wish I just had a standard one.

haven’t been lurking very long on this site but seems like a lot of good people sharing ideas and experience!

That's a nice shiny new toy! Congrats.

You may warm to the PAT, especially if you end up stepping up into the bed a lot. That little built-in step on the bumper is really convenient.

Hey all. I’m Jesse and I’m also from MN! Long time reader, finally joined the forum. Great info and knowledge spread across the US. Bought my truck used last December! Came from multiple ecoboosts and diesel to a 5.0. Loving every time I drive it! Hope everyone enjoys their holidays coming up.

Hello from Knoxville TN. Long time member but just became an owner. Took 8 months from order to delivery on my 502A Powerboost. Road trip home from Granger took about 14 hours, but it gave me a chance to learn some things about the truck. Coming from a 2012 Lariat, this truck is certainly next generation (two, actually, haha).. Loving it so far.

“Glacier Grey” (NOT white!!) ‘21 F150 XLT, FX4 package, crew cab/6.5’ bed. 1.5” level on 33x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T’s. When this truck’s not working on the farm, it’s towing a 30’ 5th wheel camper. I couldn’t afford to have a Raptor and an F250, so I got this and force it to do both!
