Pulled the trigger

[Babbage]

I like the BAP - Congrats. What mods or upgrades are planned?

One of my favorites you probably need is the FRPP diff cover and new gear oil @ 500 miles and the J&O Catch can.

Also Fluid film the whole underside so it does not rust.

How many miles are on it?

After many questions that you all answered so patiently I did the deed today and bought that 2023 Lariat. Its 502A with BAP and a 3.5. Thank you all for ALL your help.

Pretty truck, now run and get your windows tinted as Texas heat will make it miserable for the both of you especially being black

I'm not in Texas, I'm in Tennessee but yeah gonna get the windows tinted because the Explorer Limited has really spoiled me on that especially with leather seats.

Had 60 on it when I got it.......has about 150 now with 2 trips back to the dealer to get the other car and we went a few towns away to hit up Hobby Lobby for more flowers. Mom is making Christmas decorations for the cemetery markers for Dad, both sets of Grandparents and my Aunt on Mom's side.

I think I'm gonna do the catch can and tint first. Have to recoup some money before I do any coatings. I'm really leaning heavy towards the Ceramic coating for the paint because they all have that slick wet look to the one's I've seen.

It looked odd at first but after being on the interstate a little bit I love the tow mirrors. The blind spot mirrors on the bottom are just the cat's meow to me.

Yep.
There's the external view of the SD mirrors. At first glance, described as elephant ears.

But then there's the form-follows-function experience of using those SD mirrors from the F150 captain's chair.

Suddenly they look just as good externally on an F150 than they do on a SuperDuty. ??

I love em. Although I would like to have your black caps VS the silly chrome caps.

The only unpleasing thing about them is the clear side markers but that's just because of the BAP. If it was chrome it wouldn't even be noticed that they are clear.

I most likely will never telescope out mine after I do it once just to see it work. We followed a big RAM ton truck down the road with his mirrors all the way out. I told Mom if I had mine out and we met on these little backroads the mirrors would high 5 each other the best we could dodge lol

Beautiful truck, brother!

I ordered a 23 with regular mirrors, but bought a nearly identical 22 when it came in months before I was expecting mine. It had the tow mirrors (and heated steering wheel, truck bed camera as a bonus). After having them, I’ll never go back. Mine came with chrome caps, so I ended up buying new ones and having them painted. Be glad yours came black. Looks way better than the chrome, especially with the BAP.

Yeah now if it was all the Chrome shiney like an old Cyclon warrior on Battlestar Galactica the chrome caps would look ok.

Completely agree. I like the look of the smaller mirrors. But from a practical stand point I want tow mirrors.

Yup! I got a fun filled weekend of figuring what the hell all those buttons do! LOL

I think Ford should offer a 1 week course on how to operate the truck...lol

That and provide a magnifying glass for buyers over a certain age. Take last night for instance I figure out what the button looked that toggled the dome lights when you open the door.......then I had to get up real close without my glasses to actually see what was printed on the buttons!

But at least I got the whole sunshade/moonroof vent buttons figured out which is a good thing. Now to just get passed needing a sticky note on the drive mode dial when I remember to turn it to the left to find sport mode. By the way I am LOVING sport mode because its so much like my AWD 99 Explorer.
