Hi, Thanks for letting me join. It has been over 20 years since I owned a Ford. I bought a KR F150 from Granger Ford In Iowa and live in Texas. They do make it worth the trip. So far I am enjoying the F150 and am a big fan of Blue Cruise.

Hey everyone! I just purchased a new 2023 Avalanche XLT 302A Sport with the 3.5L Ecoboost. I love this color and am obsessed with the truck.
So far I have added 22" wheels with 35s, the Ford Performance offroad suspension 2.5" leveling kit, Katskin leather, Husky floor liners, and a MX4 Bakflip bed cover. Currently deciding between a spray in bed liner or trying out the bed rug.
I came from a 2017 F-150 Platinum, so there are a few features I miss, but overall this XLT is a great truck. I have already started researching how to add power folding mirrors and adaptive cruise control on the forum, so I have been lurking for a couple of weeks. Lots of good information here and glad to be an official member now.

I guess I’m going to re-introduce myself. I actually joined a year and a half ago by mistake when I bought a 2020 F150, which is actually a 13th GEN truck, not knowing the difference. Anyway after checking out how much nicer the 14th GEN is I had to have one. Picked up this 2023 Antimatter Blue XLT with the Coyote on Monday. All I can say is WOW! This truck is so much more refined and up to date compared to the previous GEN.

Hello,
I am a first time Ford owner. Just bought a 2023 2.7 SCREW XL STX. Got the truck because my 2007 Tacoma overheated and blew the head gaskets on the way to the airport (3 hrs away).
Went with the 150 because Toyota has a crap tranny in the new Tacoma and Ford never took a dime of my money to get bailed out as far as I know.
I guess it is time to learn a whole new type of truck.
Preemptive thank you for the help

Hey guys! New guy from California. Just picked up a 2023 F-150 Lariat. First brand new F-150! Traded in a '22 BMW M440i, while it was a fun car and a blast to drive, the unreliability drove me away. Excited to be in a ford again as my daily!

Hello all! New guy but moving over from F150 Forum. Ordered a new truck (8-15) and getting back into the F150 world after bouncing around in a Cummins Ram for a bit. Long time Ford owner and Mustang enthusiast.

- 2022 F-150 Lariat Powerboost
Hello all! Well this is my first post, although I've been lurking on this site for over a year, and learned so much! In fact, that led to the purchase of my awesome 2022 F-150 Lariat 2WD Supercrew Powerboost in Antimatter Blue Metallic. Love the truck! I've put about 11,650 miles on it since purchased in July 2022 with no issues!
Previous to this truck, I was driving a 2003 F-150 XLT with the 5.4L V8 for ten years (purchased in 2012), so this Powerboost seems like a spaceship in comparison!
Anyway, just wanted to say hello, and I look forward to being an active member on the site! I'll post some pics as soon as I have a chance to give the truck a wash!
It's all stock except for I've added a Retrax XR tonneau cover, Husky bed mat, WeatherTech Car Mats and Heatshield windshield sun shade which is really helping in this horrendous heat. Thinking about installing the Ford rear wheel well liners.

Hello all,
I just took delivery of my 23' RCSB. Absolutely love it.
I already have lots of interior mods planned. The exterior of the truck is for the most part done. I just need to convert to full LED.
Lots of great info on this site. Looking forward to diving in and sharing my upgrades.

Hey all,
New to the forum and new to 14th gen F150’s. I have a XLT on order and am very excited to have it built. I wanted a new F150 for what seems like forever and finally in a position to make it happen.
My first vehicle in high school was a 04 4.6l F150 green Supercab which I loved. Drove it for 4 years before I went off to the military. Been missing it ever since. Excited to be back in a ford soon. Pictures to come, thanks.

Greetings! I thought I might introduce myself and explain why I'm here.
65 year old gear head/IT pro. Solar house, wife drives a Tesla. My toys require I own a truck. I’d been awaiting the ’25 PHEV Ranger but decided to add an RV to the mix and that means half ton. This will be used for RV towing and sled trailer towing (I’m retired), and around town poor weather use (I ride a Vmax when weather allows). It will also be the main unloaded interstate vehicle as EV’s are not great for extended interstate use. Whilst here I'm hoping ya'll can help me make fewer mistakes than my norm.
Just to pre-empt the conversation, over the years I’ve towed things large and small with vehicles large and small. I’m comfortable with the capabilities of today’s half ton’s meeting my needs. What size/weights/drag are we talking about? Up to 24-25’ bumper-pull RV’s, V-nose enclosed snowmobile trailers, car haulers, etc, all below 8Klbs wet. I'm inclined to worry more about payload than I am towing capacity.
Criteria for me are, in order: Reliability, TCO, Safety, Comfort, Purchase Price.
At this moment my candidates are ’24 Powerboost, ’24 Duromax, '24 Tundra. Or I might punt this decision down the road and simply pick up a properly sorted out used/low mile F-150 SCREW 3.5 Ecoboost. Given I’m seeing more folks with problem trucks I may look at leasing as risk management too.
Honestly, I didn’t want to include the Tundra. Then I looked again at my top three criteria and there’s just no way I can cut it.
TIA for any comments in later posts!
