Introductions and Welcome Thread! 👋

[RogueProeliator]

Hi All... been lurking and researching F-150s on the forums for months; finally had something to contribute in another thread and so figured I should introduce first!

Ordered a Platinum PowerBoost in July and, with delays and the fact that it seems many of my choices are on the "causing delays" list, I have switched the deposit to a Limited PowerBoost stock order that happened to be coming in to the same dealership. Supposed to pick up this week!

So, hello from Baton Rouge, LA!

Hello from Wentzville, MO

Hello from Buchanan county, Virginia. AKA middle of nowhere. I'm coming back to Ford. I previously owned a 2007 supercab step side FX4 5.4 and a 2011 Super Crew FX4 5.0. Loved them both. I have a soft spot for pushrod V8s and went with a 2019 loaded Silverado RST with the 5.3/8 speed combo. Terrible mistake. The engine was great. Almost everything else was junk and I dumped it with 4k miles on the clock.

I have a 21 Lariat Sport 502a with the 5.0 in Rapid Red on order. Build date first week of November. I'm super excited for it. Although I'm disappointed the black package was held back for 22. I'm hoping this truck lasts me 15 years or so.

I drive through Buchanan Co. 6 or 7 times a year on the way from Richmond to Blacksburg.

Buchanan is more than two hours west of Blacksburg. I border Kentucky and West Virginia. Google Grundy, VA to get a precise idea.

Is the sign on I-81 referring to Buchanan for a town and not the county?

Yes. I81 is around two hours from me if taking the quickest route. And that is close to the TN state line.

Should have introduced myself sooner! Hello from the cold white North!

Have been a Ford guy since I started driving

- first Ford car 2001 pony package mustang (still have it)
- second Ford car 2014 mustang
- now trading in my 2014 mustang for a ‘21 XLT carbonized grey 4x4 super cab 5.0.

I also have my 72 Oldsmobile which I’ve had about 15 years and I can’t seem to bring myself to getting rid of it. I used to be a big contributor on the Oldsmobile forum so I kept the same name so that I wouldn’t get confused lol

Anyways cheers! And because pics or it doesn’t count:

Greetings from KC. Former F150 owner who is here to learn about the gen 14 F150's before I decide what to get and what mods to do when I do get one. Currently leaning toward the new Tremor in Antimatter Blue. It is in my nature to research a great deal before dropping a lot of cash.

Greetings from NY. New member here. Finally signed up but have been researching and gathering info for a new F150 Lariat Crew Cab, 4x4 Powerstroke 3.0 Diesel. I decided it was time being the 0% interest was happening. I was searching the country to see what was available at dealers which was few and far between and learned that some dealers really are taking advantage of the "supply & demand" inventory delays and whatever else they decided to add into any quote.
I got lucky and found a dealer who was fair and had a truck that had almost all the options I was seeking, mainly the 3.0 diesel option and some nice other options to keep me comfy on long trips.
Will post pics soon. Thanks to all who share experiences and pertinent info.
Enjoy, Billy.
