Introductions and Welcome Thread! 👋

Just got my F150 recently and saying hello! Learned how to drive 30 years ago on a Ford Ranger and owned several Ford in between then and now. Decided to upgrade to something that can tow our next camper. Just got it back from the tinters yesterday. Only upgrades were tinted windows, Truxedo Sentry tonneau and some winter tires to match the season. Before and after pics

Greetings from southeast Michigan. After 7 rams, I picked up my first Ford. 23 F150 XLT Powerboost. Test driving all Brands (US Brands of course) I have to say man have all of these trucks come a long way ! Wanted something different, and after shopping around , I leased this one for a couple of years. So far so good. Definitely a different ride.

Being a lease, won't do too much on the mods (or at least that's what I'll tell wifey)

Glad to be here. Looks like a lot of good folks and info here.

Hello from S. Texas. I haven't been on an automotive forum in yrs. But after buying my new 2023 F150, I figured before I start buying parts, I'd look to see what others have done. I like to try and see what's good and what's not good before blowing my money!
So with that, it's a 23xl. single cab, short bed, 5.0 2WD. And this thing is fast as hell for a truck. I've been driving my 13 Silverado 5.3 4x4, again single cab short bed, but wanted a new toy. Something quick but still dual purpose. I still have the chevy for when I want to go camping. I do a lot of surf fishing.

As for the Ford, I can't decide what I want to do first. Exhaust, drop kit (can't seem to find a 2in front 3 in rear), wheels and tires, CAI, LSD, or start with the interior, carpet and center seat or seats. Or just save a few months and go Ford super charger and just knock out the engine all at once. My only concern there is, if it'll go fast, I'll push it. I know I'd be in trouble with that. So while that's an option, I'm trying to be grownup about it and leave that for last.

One thing is for sure, things are a LOT more expensive!

Any ways, The new and the old.

Hello all. I’ve had a few f150’s and made the mistake of going to GM for a bit. Lasted 8 months before I came back!

Got myself into a new, leftover 2023 xlt bap with a coyote. Avalanche exterior with black interior. Loving it so far!

Hello from Idaho. Somewhat new here learning all I can on the Gen14'S since I ordered a '24 702a Platty 4x4 Sept. 28th. Build and blend dates were Jan. 19th but no updates on tracking other than "in process". Thank you for including me in this excellent forum.

Hello everyone I've just traded in my 2019 Ranger for a 2023 F-150 XLT 5.0. and that is what brought me to this forum. I live in West My God Virginia, am a military retiree after serving for over 29 years.

This is my dream truck! I hope to gain as much knowledge as I can soak in and maybe along the way provide some help to others on this journey.

Good morning! Thanks for accepting me into the community. I look forward to learning from the collective brain power of the group.

Currently I am the owner of a 2012 Ecoboost. I bought it new and have put 170,000 trouble free miles on it, over 100,000 pulling a 8,000 pound fifth wheel.

I am considering a new Powerboost and will be watching this site for insights.

Thanks all.
